Citadel Square in Sighișoara hosts, until August 26, the 16th edition of the ProEtnica Intercultural Festival, with dances and traditional music, performed by more than 50 ensembles, film screenings and art exhibitions.

ProEtnica Intercultural Festival includes 30 artistic shows in the field of performing arts, which can be seen on an open-air stage, 25 interactive front-stage performances,12 presentation and craftsmen booths, an exhibition from the field of visual arts by ten contemporary artists from the national minorities, three screenings of documentaries presenting the national minorities, interreligious and intercultural dialogue from different perspectives, as well as workshops that are led by organizations of national minorities.

Volker Reiter, organizer of the Festival: The idea is to see minorities having a resource for development. Festival slowly began to internationalize and I hope that in five, six years, ProEtnica will be the biggest intercultural festival in Europe.

ProEtnica promotes the rights of cultural expression of national minorities and, at the same time, strengthens cultural dialogue. Festival contributes to preservation and creation of intercultural peace in a pluralistic and democratic society. It is in concordance with the principles of the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.

Event is organized with the support of the Romanian Government - Department for Interethnic Relations, Mureș County Council and Center for Interethnic Youth Education Sighișoara.
