Nov 19 - Mark Montovio Takes Part In FEGADI Conference
Mark Montovio, from The JM Memorial Foundation, took part in a conference in La Linea at the invitation of FEGADI, (Federación Gaditana de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica). The event, which was part of a series of activities making up their Cultural Week, saw a number of guest speakers discussing a variety of contemporary issues.
Together with photographer Marcos Moreno, who provided the visual material, Mark Montovio shared his thoughts on the work he has been carrying out in Morocco for over twenty years. Under the generic title of ‘Solidaridad sin Fronteras’ Mark presented ideas on how it was possible to work with different communities for mutual benefit and focused on how you could develop links between cultures who have much more in common than what is generally thought.
‘I was delighted to accept the invitation and enjoyed sharing my thoughts over a period of ninety minutes with a very diverse audience’, said Mark.
‘It was also a good opportunity to meet the Director of the Centre in La Linea, Francisco Marquez Linan, the councilor for Equality Carmen Garcia and the Councillor for Culture Encarnacion Sanchez, who are very eager to develop links with a variety of agencies across the border and the strait.’
