What can we learn from ecosystems to build more resilient, regenerative, and inclusive communities and organizations?
The festival aims to:
- Create a space for collective reflection and meaningful conversations that allow us to move toward an inclusive economy.
- Raise awareness about the value of diversity and the inclusion of all aspects of nature, including human nature, in various contexts.
- Foster inclusion through art, which serves as a vehicle for dialogue and a bridge between realities.
- Inspire collective and personal action grounded in awareness, with the conviction that everyone has the potential to be an agent of change.
An invitation to redesign the way we live together.
The Festival Agenda:
The Festival’s agenda is designed based on Theory U. Rooted in over two decades of action-research at MIT, this theory provides a conceptual and methodological framework that cultivates essential leadership capacities for personal, organizational, and social transformation grounded in awareness.
It integrates cutting-edge systems thinking, social innovation, presence, art, and transformation to address the root causes of today’s social, environmental, and ontological divides, shifting from an ego-system logic to an eco-system logic.
Festival Incluir para Crecer
2026 Edition
The Festival Incluir para Crecer begins to shape its 2026 edition, with activities that reinforce its commitment to fostering dialogue and practices toward inclusive economies.
2026 Edition
The fourth edition focuses on care and regeneration: economies capable of honoring life, repairing relationships, and building collective well-being. It brings together artistic experiences, spaces for dialogue, research, and reflection, as well as work and collaborative activities, generating knowledge to strengthen organizations and communities. It is a process in which art, words, the body, and encounters allow us to imagine and co-create worlds capable of sustaining and regenerating life in all its diversity.

First Activation · Community Imagination
Art workshop for world-making
The experience is guided by artists, educators, and creators who open spaces to experiment, think, and create in common.
We open the 4th edition of Incluir para Crecer — Latin American Inclusive Economy Festival with an open arts workshop that invites us to imagine, feel, and create collectively.
We begin with simple yet profound questions:
What does a world full of life feel like?
What does it look like, sound like?
What makes it not only habitable, but capable of sustaining and regenerating life in its diversity?
Through different languages—body, image, word, and matter—we open a space for collective creation to express the planet we dream of: a world where the vitality of ecosystems and all forms of life is possible.
The workshop will be facilitated by artists, educators, and researchers from the Incluir para Crecer team.
It will have an initial in-person edition in Montevideo and will later expand, through facilitators, to other territories across the country, the region, and the world.
In this edition, art takes a central place: as an accessible and powerful language, capable of moving even what we do not yet have words for.

As part of our ongoing journey at the Festival Incluir para Crecer, we participated in the Ecosystem Leadership Program by the Presencing Institute in Mexico, where we carried out an activation that brought together people from around the world.
