Festivals in two phases
On Wednesday 2nd of November was the festival day of the Memory Project! In the morning we were at the historical site of Loggia (Venetian Town Hall of Heraklion), courtesy of the Municipality of Heraklion, where we presented the memories from Fortetssa, the Bujama community of Peru, the Hua Tat community of Vietnam and the Castelammare di Stabia community of Italy. In this pace, each delegation presented dances and traditions from each country.
On Friday 4th November was the moment of the farewell cultural evening and Festival with the participation of the local people of Fortetsa and all our participants. Fortezza put on its best and welcomed its guests with songs and dances. And the guests from Vietnam, Peru and Italy reciprocated by treating the locals with delicacies, drinks, dances and songs from their countries. Until the people became one, embraced and said goodbye to the shared memory they created this week.
