This year is 1st edition of the Licheni Festival, the first in Italy to talk about queer ecology and degrowth! The festival will take place in Sant'Agata sul Terno, about 45 minutes from Bologna. Our host site is a unique and exemplary CSA in Italy, with a queer and anti-speciesist soul; it is called Terrestra and is easily reached with a car or from Lugo station with a walk or cycle along the Romagna's plain. The festival will take place from Friday to Sunday of September 6/7/8. We will post a detailed program later on, but the festival will include debates, creative workshops, philosophical grapepicking, live music and DJ sets, connections and lots of conviviality!
The festival is free, with a volunteer contribution at the door. Exclusively vegan meals will be payed separately with a symbolic price. Overnight accommodation will be in tents on the Terrestra grounds and each night will be charged 5 euros per person as a contribution to the CSA.
