This program, titled “The life is smell,” is a program in which participants reflect their smell experiences from birth to the present. Younger participants imagine their own smell experiences for the future; older participants reflect their memories and look at themselves through “smells” that have changed over time, such as past natural environments, political situations, and cultural transitions.

The time spent in dialogue with participants from different countries and generations will be an opportunity to learn about others and to learn more about ourselves. We look forward to a time of discussion together.
