Care Festival

Common Ground
CARE Festival Celebrating Art, Education, and Community

The Cyprus Arts and Education (CARE) Festival is a vibrant new initiative by Larnaca 2030. Bringing artists and educators together, it fosters care, creativity, and connection through performances and workshops, inspiring a more humane and interdependent society.

The Cyprus Arts and Education (CARE) Festival is a cultural institution introduced by Larnaka 2030. It emerged from the public consultation with artists and educators in the “Arts for Children and Youth” working group.

As a philosophy, and triggered by its acronym, the festival highlights and promotes the concept of care for fellow human beings as a personal need but also as an expression of social responsibility, laying the foundations for a more inclusive and humane society.

CARE Festival promotes the philosophy of a Mother City. What does a city that cares about its future, children and young people look like? This is the city we are striving for; a caring and nurturing city.

The second edition of CARE Festival signified the further development of the project. New topics and concerned were added to the original issues addressed by the festival: war, migration, refugees, marginalisation of vulnerable people.
CARE Festival was a three-day celebration of art, expression and co-creation dedicated to children, young people and of course the whole family.
