Through its musical and poetic form, its historical character and its universal and current social message, the "Nueva Cancion" is the subject for developing numerous meetings, educational or cultural actions , thus weaving numerous bridges with other artistic disciplines - documentary film, dance, plastic arts, literature (illustrated children's albums, novels) up to the discovery of South American gastronomy. Everything is a pretext for travel, discovery and exchange.
