Enchant the World

The word "enchant" refers to a spell or charm: using magical powers to draw people's will. It also means capturing someone's attention through personal charisma, beauty, kindness, or talent. To enchant is to captivate, seduce, and evoke fascination.

But in its etymological origin, from the Latin incantāre, the word literally referred to the inner song something provoked in you: that sense of wonder you feel in your spirit when you stand before something that inspires admiration, captivates you, or takes your breath away.

Today, as we live in times of disillusionment and sorrow, we want you to help us enchant the world once again.

Perhaps you are already doing it without realizing it: when you are moved by someone’s need, when you give without expecting anything in return. When your enthusiasm is contagious, or when you share what you’ve learned. But if you share your stories and your art, then don’t doubt it—you are already on this journey.

Because this is the secret of that magic:

By sharing, we rebuild who we are.

Together, we spark hope.

So, enchant the world: fill it with soul.

About the Manifesto: Every year, we publish a manifesto based on the social climate and where we stand as a community. It also serves as the foundation for developing the festival’s creative concept and imagery each year.
