Festival programme

With nine days of concerts, talks, workshops and art, the festival starts from the challenges of our time and wants to bring hope for the future. This year's program is inspired by visionaries who lead the world in new directions and who make us look up and see new solutions, to dare to dream and help us believe that a better world is possible.
