Following her dedication to the cause of youth development in Nigeria, Rita-Ezenwa Okoro founded the Street Project Foundation to implement transformative artistic projects that impact the lives of thousands of young people.
Don’t miss her story in this special on-site closing session of the Fair Saturday Forum!
Every year, the Fair Saturday Forum brings together international cultural and social leaders to encourage reflection on culture and social innovation as the main drivers to build more humane and positive societies.
In these uncertain times we continue to live in, and given the challenges we still face as humanity, what role should culture and social innovation play in building a better future?
The FSForum – an international space for reflection born in Bilbao in 2017 – will once again bring together a selected panel of leading representatives from the fields of culture, the arts, social innovation and global organisations to share their reflections and help us envision different futures in this VI edition of the FSForum, hybrid for the first time.
Access to the forum is free through the registration button on this page. Once you have registered, you will be able to access an online daily talk on culture and social innovation from May 2 to May 31.
This year, as a new feature, in addition to enjoying a daily online presentation, the Fair Saturday Forum will offer you the chance to enjoy 5 face-to-face sessions, once a week, which will take place at the BBK Kuna building (Urazurrutia 3, Bilbao, Bizkaia). Check the schedule below!
To attend these sessions, all you have to do is fill in the same registration form that appears on this page, where you can choose the day(s) you would be available. If you are unable to attend, don’t worry, these sessions will be recorded and broadcast a few days after the day of the event. We look forward to welcoming you!

On the occasion of the launch of this new edition of the Fair Saturday Forum, the play “The Book of Sirens” had its international première, a play created and performed in air-raid shelters in Kiev by the Ukrainian company ProEnglish Theatre, the only English-speaking theatre in Ukraine. In addition to its educational work, the theatre directed by Alex Borovensky has become a reference point during the last few weeks, in which they have resisted the war with Russia through art.
