He said that this year 230 children were registered and will present, during the days of the festival, children’s content such as theater, poetry, dance, painting and music.
He highlighted that they will distinguish children in the categories of best, dance, theater, poetry, painting and music.
He explained that the tribute to Kim Freitas is justified by his contribution to the production of children’s content.
Speaking to the press, Kim Freitas said he was grateful for the recognition, as the festival has a national dimension, which will also bring with it an act of raising awareness against sexual abuse of minors.
He argued that this awareness-raising act should be extended to schools, churches and families, where each participant could alert children about the precautions to be taken to avoid situations of this kind.
He called on the country’s social media to increase content for children, so that they can have the basis to defend themselves.
