Description:
his event will also take place on August 17th at the same time. This festival serves as an environmental education strategy that promotes community engagement and biodiversity conservation, focusing on endangered wildlife and their natural habitats. It is designed as a public space for outreach and mass communication, bringing together diverse audiences through engaging cultural activities. The event aims to raise environmental awareness through music, dance, and artistic expressions that highlight the importance of protecting the Andean condor and bear. It also functions as an open-air classroom, sharing knowledge about conservation and the cultural heritage of Cundinamarca and the Andean region in Colombia in accessible ways. One of the main challenges is the limited time available to make a lasting impact. To address this, the festival uses cultural representation as a powerful educational tool—especially effective in attracting people who might not usually participate in formal academic settings. The festival also encourages creativity and community participation, linking cultural celebration with environmental action. Activities will include traditional performances, environmental forums, workshops for children and adults, and the promotion of local and green enterprises.
