SEIF 2024 – 28th-30th June – Marciana Marina – Elba Island – Italy
THE POWER OF EVENTS TO CONVEY KEY MESSAGES
Increasingly, strategic and effective events represent a fundamental lever of integrated communication to convey concepts, topics and ideas to a large number of people.
They also contribute to raising awareness on the critical issues of our times and promote an aware and unafraid attitude capable of being a spokesman of excellence for important topics widely debated.
Current issues, such as climate emergency, sustainability and land conservation, have a central role in the public debate and became priorities of all agendas by the European Commission.
It was against this background that conferences, festivals and events may be essentials to promote knowledge, awareness and respect for the nature (and its ecosystems) as well as become facilitators in providing messages aiming to help preservation of nature, highlight its urgencies but also enhance its beauty and uniqueness.
A festival dedicated to the sea, the widest and most multifaceted terrestrial ecosystems, is surely a very effective and inclusive mean to show either its fabulous aspects and its critical issues, reveal the deepness of its essence as much as its great potential for the human being including dreams, virtues, aspirations and social connections.
In order to create a shared vision for a sustainable development by 2035 it is certainly necessary achieve development, economic and sustainable goals through the enhancement of the territory and tourism, the promotion of a sustainable transport, a strong attention given to the biodiversity by integrating them with a cultural re-evaluation and respect for the territory intended as an educational model for protection of human beings’ life.
It is precisely in fields closer to the sea, and from people who can act from a unique vantage point, that discussions and initiatives aimed to celebrate the importance of the sea and its aspects may be more effective, to guide towards future sustainable development and drive the respect for this irreplaceable common good .
The connections between marine ecosystems and local communities represent the focus of a continuing dialogue that trace sustainable routes from every point of view, including art and habits up to youth education and practices of inclusive sports that can remove attitudinal and technical barriers towards people with disabilities.
Nature, culture and care are the foundation for guarantee a multidisciplinary approach narrated with the voice of history, economics, arts, anthropology, culture, politics, music, cinema and society with such an inclusive approach so as to welcome all the souls of the sea as a common thread to give life to new projects aimed to protect the sea and able to disseminate strong professional, efficient operating models.
Within the context of a very representative model of values, like the one offered by the benefit companies (reflecting strong ethical values) that concrete and meaningful actions can be undertaken in order to support sustainability as well as generating vertical realities such as Associations and Foundations aimed to joint specific targets by paying tribute to the blue planet.
A Festival that ennobles the sea for its magnificence and, trough the celebration of its beauty, increases the awareness of its priceless value, by inspiring the desire “to do”, is the aim of a great mission addressed to enhance and defend it, gaming positive feelings and valuable connections in support of environmental protection, inclusion and enhancement of the social and cultural heritage of the environments and also protect the quality of life.
