National Cultural Children's Meeting, Karditsa

The Children's Cultural Meeting held in Karditsa is an institution dedicated to the preservation, promotion and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage, with the children themselves as protagonists. In a rapidly changing world, this meeting comes to remind us of the importance of tradition as a living element of identity, dialogue and peaceful coexistence of peoples.
The event involves children's/teenage dance and music groups, which present traditional dances, songs, costumes and customs from various regions of Greece and abroad. Through authentic expression, play and creativity, children become carriers of culture, transferring the knowledge and values ​​of previous generations to the future.
Karditsa, with its rich cultural tradition and the hospitality of its inhabitants, offers the ideal environment for the meeting. Parallel actions, such as workshops, presentations and joint activities, enhance intercultural communication and cultivate mutual respect among participants.
The Children's Cultural Meeting is not just an event, but an experience of learning and exchange, fully aligned with the principles and goals of CIOFF for the protection and promotion of traditional folk culture worldwide. By investing in children, we invest in the continuity of cultural heritage and in shaping a world where diversity is a source of wealth and unity.
