Every March 21 is celebrated the International Day of Forests, and taking advantage of this date, “World Wood Day” is also celebrated since 2013.

It is a multicultural event to promote the use of wood as a sustainable, renewable and quality material. The objective of this day is to remember the importance and the true value of wood, and how its responsible use plays a fundamental role in the conservation of forests today.

Although the objective of the event is to spread these ideas around the world, the organization chooses a location to host the main event. It usually lasts a week during which all types of workshops, conferences, competitions and lectures take place. In them educators, artisans, professionals and amateurs from different cultures participate, where they share experiences, skills and of course their passion for wood.

Some complementary events are also held throughout the year in other regions, with the aim of continuing to disseminate these ideas and share experiences.

Guests

With each edition of the Día de La Wood, as well as some of the complementary events, professionals, artists or students who have distinguished themselves are invited to share their knowledge or collaborate on other projects.
