NewsletterOn the occasion of the opening festival, there will be a major mobilisation of local energies, in close collaboration with community associations in Lille and the metropolitan area.
For several months prior to the opening, preparatory workshops, casting calls, rehearsals, etc. will be organised in numerous emblematic locations (the Gare Saint Sauveur, the Grand Sud, etc.) to ensure the largest possible public participation in the opening festival on 14 May 2022.
The workshop programme includes the creation of totems, hats, costumes and banners to dress the participants of the parade and the public. There will also be workshops to introduce people to ethical fashion (crochet techniques, sewing and the reuse of plastic materials, etc.).
