PUBLIC EVENTS

The exhibitions will feature a combination of texts, photographs and works of art (crafts, drawings, paintings) showcasing a wide variety of landscapes, activities and communities associated with the nomadic way of life

From April 2027 onwards, YURTA Association will organize a series of public cultural outreach activities focused on environmental education, with nomadic-tradition communities as protagonists and their amazing and unique ways of sustainably managing natural ecosystems as background theme.

The talks and lectures will last about one and a half hours, with half of that time devoted to the screening of a film summarising the EDUNOMAD project, preceded by an introduction and followed by a discussion

Events management and costs:

Each event will be tailored to the specific conditions and target audience, subject to agreement with the contracting party.

The cost of each event will be assessed individually by the YURTA Association based on the event’s significance and the contracting party’s financial capacity, but in all cases will include the inherent costs of travel, accommodation and subsistence for the speaker or exhibition representative for the duration of the event. A formal contract will therefore be drawn up between YURTA Association and the contracting party, bearing in mind that any proceeds in excess of the aforementioned costs will be used entirely to help defray the costs associated with the Association’s projects.
