France Bleu Provence is a partner of the Festival “Agir pour le Vivant”, an unmissable event in Provence
A new kind of festival, open to everyone to celebrate the Living
A plural festival that allows a multiplicity of meetings and exchangestime for reflection in Arles and throughout the year in other contexts in order to to understand our links and interdependencies with all living things.
Of the major upheavals are in progress and we are unable to measure their importance and seriousness. Nothing seems to slow down the threats that weigh on the living nor the inevitable race to the abyss. While scientists are constantly launching alerts and that natural disasters are multiplying in the four corners of the world, we are not witnessing the change needed which will bring about a society that respects the living.
“As the philosopher Baptiste Morizot says, the living is a philosophical concept that names our relationship to the adventure of life on Earth. This year, we have imagined new formats with new themes, a more assertive anchorage within the Pays d’Arles and an opening on the scale of the territories in France, but also internationally. »
