C.AR.E Festival in Larnaca this weekend

“How amazing it would be if there was an annual event that, in one weekend, with dozens of dynamic and exciting activities, would bring together artists working with children and young people, the educational community and the children themselves and their families,” ask organisers of a Larnaca festival this weekend.

“We have very good news for you,” they add. “This annual event has just been created by Larnaka 2030 in collaboration with the Art for Children and Youth working group. It is the Cyprus Arts and Education (C.AR.E) Festival which aims to give a new impetus to the cultural and educational events of the city.”

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the whole of Larnaca will be activated through a series of creative interventions as C.ARE.E Festival launches. Ten performances and 13 workshops by 22 local artistic groups will take place at the Municipal Theatre, Municipal Library, Youth Makerspace Larnaka, Pierides Museum, Zouhouri Square and SKALA Theatre.

At its core, the festival aims to serve as a meeting point and a hub of connection and exchange between the educational community and artists active in art for children and young people. “The aim is to enable teachers to have, at the beginning of the school year, a panorama of the options available for their students both within and beyond the school unit.”
