The program will include artistic presentations, visual exhibitions, performances, living statues, multimedia experiences, and displays of student entrepreneurship, as well as live broadcasts and digital coverage by the film and photography students themselves. The coordinator of the Arts Modality of Regional 15, Santa de Paula, explained that this activity is part of the annual calendar of the Ministry of Education and constitutes a platform to showcase the talent of young people who are studying for their high school diploma in arts in areas such as music, theater, dance, cinema, photography, multimedia, visual arts, costume jewelry, metal and wood, among other creative disciplines. “What you are going to see there is the result of the effort of children and young people who, for the most part, arrive without prior artistic training and find in these schools the opportunity to develop through art,” the organizers expressed during a preparatory meeting.
