The Dark Side of the Tourism Boom in Medellín: Commercial Exploitation of Children
Medellín, a city once characterised by brutal conflict, has recently emerged as a top destination for international tourists. However, a darker trend has since begun to arise.
Meet Our Patron: Fernando Montaño
Born in Buenaventura, one of Colombia’s most dangerous cities, Fernando is now Principal Guest Ballet Dancer and Honoris Causa Doctor of the Arts at the University of Bath, two-time winner of the Latin-UK Awards and a judge for Colombia’s Dancing With the Stars.
He is passionate about the transformative power of dance, and as our Patron he hopes he can make a difference to the lives of children and young people across Colombia.
