About the forum
Culture that transforms
In today’s complex world, the Fair Saturday Foundation believes it is essential to raise awareness of the importance of culture in building fairer, more developed societies. To this end, it seeks to share concrete projects for social transformation and build international connections between them.
From this vision, BBK Bilbao Kultura Social Forum was born in 2017: a global meeting place for leading cultural and social figures who share their experiences and humanistic reflections on the transformative potential of culture.
