Second Rural - Urban Dialogue Festival 2011

The Rural - Urban Dialogue Festival is an innovative experience in Colombia, which aims to deepen the involvement of the general public and institutions in environmental issues and to reflect on sustainable livelihood changes.

Many rural and urban communities have demonstrated their capacity to uphold alternative life-projects which embrace the principles of sustainable livelihoods. Moreover, with imposing development alternatives that affect both rural and urban populations (monocrops, agribusiness, consumerism, climate change), we believe that these scenarios for collective memory are vital to cultural understanding between rural and urban societies.
