THE PARTNERSHIP WITH MARLU ‘TO SUPPORT YOUNG EMERGING TALENTS
One of the main objectives that the Young Knowledge Festival sets itself every year is to create an increasingly broad and cohesive network of talents, capable of bringing together emerging realities that can support each other in promoting the activation of some performing arts.
This year, on the occasion of its 15th anniversary, SMIAF decides on this objective with the precious support of the partnership with the company MARLU ‘, a San Marino company born in 2001 from the entrepreneurial skills of the three Fabbri sisters who have created a new way of thinking and promoting jewels: not just accessories, but precious ones that express the values and important moments of our lives. In this regard, Marlù has always supported the enthusiasm and desire to do the youngest and the youngest, considering their talent a treasure to be saved, enhanced and nurtured.
The partnership between two realities, which share these many values, takes the form of giving away three Marlù Awards, i.e. three scholarships that will be awarded during the Festival to deserving artists in three performing disciplines, an economic contribution that can be invested in build a project that can help them realize their dream.
In addition, Marlù will deliver recognition plaques to all SMIAF participants, to thank the numerous performers for putting themselves into the game and showing the public an interesting moment of art, inviting them to insist on achieving their goals.
Not surprisingly, perseverance in achieving one’s aspirations, despite the adversities of life, is the basis of the claim # KeepDreamingconMarlù which urges all of us – and in particular young people – to fight for what they believe in, to create something new that can surprise and inspire others, in a virtuous circle of creativity and social utility.
