Organisers designed the festival as an educational, artistic, and cultural exchange, aiming to create opportunities for sharing knowledge and experiencing life within the Pankararu territory. During the four-day event, the festival will focus on themes including memory, ancestral education, nature, spirituality, and traditional care practices. The festival prioritises local knowledge and places the Pankararu community and their territory at the heart of all activities.
People interested in attending can complete a general public registration form, while schools can register groups of students to connect classroom learning with the experiences of the territory. Local vendors from the Pankararu territory can also register to sell goods during the festival. The 7th Pankararu Music Festival is a partnership between the Aió Conexões Pankararu Institute and Funarte, a Brazilian governmental organisation for the performing arts, and intends to strengthen a program built from and for the territory.
