In Montpellier, this national event is associated for its launch with the collective Alba Latin America, initiator of the "Journées Latino-Américains de Montpellier" which will start a few days before the official opening of the Salc, on May 16. As part of this partnership between the actors of the Salc in Montpellier and the collective Alba, it is therefore almost a month of events promoting Latin American culture, which will take place between 16 May and 10 June in the city and its surroundings.
Latin American and Caribbean Weeks
Since their first edition in 2011, the days, became week, then week S of Latin America and the Caribbean, spread at the national and now territorial level, with the coordination of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, and the relay of decentralized services of the State in regions such as the Drac Occitanie.
Over the years, the Salc have developed in the territories and have refined their identity, mixing festive and scholarly spirit around the ties that unite us. In 2022, more than 400 events were certified in some 60 cities in France as well as in the Latin American and Caribbean states. No other region of the world is honoured in France in this way and no other country than France devotes such a tribute to Latin America and the Caribbean.
In the territory of Occitania, the Salc have already spread since 2019 thanks to dozens of players who have federated around the last editions. On a Montpellier scale, the dynamic is particularly strong since a collective of associations and places of welcome has been created to coordinate a dense and diverse cultural program, based on the initiatives of the Latin American community present in the city.
