In the framework of the Day of the Escarapela, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, carried out an open and participatory proposal in Plaza 25 de Mayo, with the aim of commemorating this national date, promoting national identity and strengthening community ties through art and tradition.
The activity was attended by the Mayor, Dr. Francisco Azcué, and the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto. Numerous families from Concordia, local artists, and residents who joined to share an afternoon of celebration were also present.
“These types of gatherings allow us to reconnect with our symbols, with our history, and also with one another. The escarapela is much more than an emblem; it is a reminder of who we are as a people and where we want to go as a community,” expressed the mayor Azcué. “It is a joy to see so many residents participating, enjoying the art, and celebrating our identity together,” he added.
The Undersecretary of Education and Culture Prof. Carlos Gatto highlighted the importance of resignifying public spaces through culture: “We chose the gazebo in Plaza 25 de Mayo because it is an emblematic point of the city. From now on, we want this to be a living place, where art and popular culture have a constant presence. This is a way to continue building citizenship, through open, free, and meaningful proposals.”
The day began with the distribution of escarapelas to the public present, and continued with an outstanding cultural program. The Children's Folklore Ballet of the San Antonio Cultural Center, directed by professor Paola Marianella Garay, offered a performance that moved the audience. Then, open Folklore and Tango classes were held by professors Juliana Oyarbide, Ivana Piñol, and Daniel Bogado, who invited everyone to join in the dance and collective learning. Music also had its place with the special participation of artists Pablo Kauffmann and Marcelo Salvador, who shared their talent on stage.
The Undersecretariat of Education and Culture thanks all those present, the artists, and those who made this activity possible, reaffirming the commitment to continue promoting cultural policies that foster memory, identity, and community participation.
