There were 35 exhibitors and, as expected, Las Clementinas participated actively in the event, as we hosted the attractive seminar: The power of diverse tourism.Įverything started with the raising of the flag. That’s why we could enjoy photographic and artistic exhibitions, theatrical presentations, Stand Up comedy, LGBT cinema shows, tourist promotion, music concerts and social integration activities. This year in Panama, we had academic forums, educational workshops, entrepreneurship seminars and job fairs. But this event is almost always associated with its most sensual and festive part, leaving in the background, the more intellectual and reflective side. I had thought to start this blog post with this sentence: “The LGBT Pride Week in the Casco was a great party.” Then I realized that I was falling short It took a lot more to understand the magnitude of this unique week, of this incomparable party.Īs you know, LGBT Pride Week is an event that takes place all over the world, with the intention of making the LGBT population and its multiple contributions to the community more visible in a positive way. I´m talking, on this occasion, about the word party. Sometimes a word can´t express the intense life that beats behind it. Of course, Las Clementinas was part of the extraordinary celebration. It was an example of inclusion and diversity of reflection and party. For the first time LGBT Pride Week was held in our Casco Viejo.
