3rd edition of the Soul of Cultures International Festival in Essaouira

The Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation and the Kadiriya Brotherhood of Essaouira (Association Jeunes de l'Art Authentique) are co-organising the third edition of the 'Soul of Cultures' Festival from 21 to 23 February, a meeting which last year brought together for the first time Muslim, Christian and Jewish brotherhoods in the Moroccan city of Essaouira and in which the Machado Foundation is also collaborating.

Following the good results of last year's event, we will once again be holding this convivial event, which will address issues relating to heritage, rituals, traditions and the many commonalities that link millions of believers of the three religions of the Book beyond their differences.

The programme of the meeting combines various round tables, ceremonies specific to the three religions and musical evenings with artists from different countries and faiths, in a celebration of diversity, peace and coexistence.
