The program of activities will include talks, a children's workshop on marine conservation, the re-staging of the play "Fable of a Wax Country," a camping event inspired by British fantasy tales, a guided bicycle tour, among other offerings.

This edition will feature exceptional guests, such as the prestigious Cuban botanist Luis Roberto Torres; the scientist from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Alex Monro; the sustainable design architect, John Osmond; and the senior professor from the Faculty of Biology at the University of Havana, Lourdes Mújica.

Furthermore, participants will include the Cuban children's theater company La Colmenita, the projects El Parqueo, La Manigua, and Nómada, alongside the venues Quinta de los Molinos, the Chullima Workshop, the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Finca Vista Hermosa, and the Church of Our Lady of Regla.
