2023 Tempo Latino has been awarded the "DETONNING EVENTS " label.
What is a Detonating Event?
It's an event that contrasts with current event proposals, a committed and responsible event. Committed to reducing its environmental impact, it federates and mobilizes its teams, partners and audiences around the issues of ecological and societal transition, and gives itself the means to deploy a global, structured and continuously improving eco-responsible approach.
It's also, logically, an event that de-tunes, since it reduces its carbon emissions, waste, energy consumption and the resources used in its implementation. And it's an astonishing event, proposing to experiment with ecological and societal transition in new, more sustainable and inclusive forms!
