Innominātu is a show that combines the body, movement, visual arts and natural elements. Through the figure of the shaman-performer, the body becomes a mediator between the human and the more-than-human, exploring the profound relationship between nature, consciousness and matter.

In a poetic and site-specific experience, the creation invites the public to slow down, listen and rediscover a primordial link with life and the surrounding landscape.

Celebrate International Day of the Forest with us by observing wildlife closely.

Participants will learn photography techniques to capture the diversity of birds that inhabit the forest, while exploring the importance of conserving forest ecosystems. An opportunity to develop an eye, sensitivity and respect for nature, recording unique moments of connection between birds and forest.

An invitation to participants to measure and compare temperature differences between wooded areas and more exposed areas. Using simple monitoring instruments, they will observe on the ground how the presence of trees, permeable soil and vegetation cover influences the urban microclimate.

The activity provides a practical understanding of the essential role of green infrastructure in mitigating heat islands, regulating the city's temperature and promoting climate comfort. A participatory experience that combines science, the environment and active citizenship, demonstrating how nature is a fundamental ally in adapting to climate change.

In groups, participants go around the farm to discover natural elements and signs of this season, collecting materials, making drawings or small creations. With everything they find, they build their own "Spring Magic Box".

At the end, the boxes are closed and exchanged between groups, allowing everyone to discover the interpretation of spring created by the others.

An immersive walk in which the body tunes in artistically and sensorially to the natural surroundings.

Along the way, participants will be led through moments of bodily expression, words, sound and silence, creating possible sensitive narratives inspired by and in relationship with the forest itself. More than walking, dancing or writing, it's about feeling: listening to the natural sounds amplified by attuning attention to details that normally go unnoticed. Absorbing textures with the body, breathing in the rhythm of the trees, touching the smell of the earth. The dance won't just be observed - it will be experienced in the dialogue that each body has with its interiority and with place, promoting an emotional and conscious connection with nature.

On International Forest Day, discover the aromas and flavors of Monsanto Forest Park in a special showcase of hot infusions prepared with local herbs. A sensory experience that celebrates the forest as a source of life, diversity and well-being, valuing its natural resources and the traditions that connect us to the territory.

A plogging walk that combines contact with nature with concrete action: walking and collecting waste along the route.

Following the Water Route, participants are invited to walk through the forest, paying attention to the flow lines, streams and points where water circulates, understanding how abandoned waste compromises the quality of water, soil and biodiversity.

This initiative underlines the vital link between forest and water: protecting the forest means ensuring clean water, healthy ecosystems and a more sustainable future. A simple gesture, but one with real impact - because every piece of waste collected is a step towards defending life.

Visit the exhibition that brings together the winning and selected photographs from the 2nd edition of the "Monsanto Inspires" competition.

A moment that celebrates talent, creativity and a sensitive eye for biodiversity, light, the seasons and the details that make Monsanto a living heritage of the city. An opportunity for art, nature and the community to come together.
