The Universal Forum of Cultures is a large-scale event that involves contact with the public and that will depend on a series of maintenance tasks and basic services required for its operation. In view of the nature of the event, the Forum has created official staff wear with an exclusive design intended to clearly identify Forum personnel while reflecting principles of simplicity, multipurpose design and diversity.

The main guidelines for the design of staff wear were approved by the Forum's Executive Board in a meeting held on October 14, 2003.

The line of staff wear includes various models, covering the spectrum from casual attire to more formal, Mediterranean-style outfits, and including a range of versatile accessories.

In line with the principle of simplicity, the designs used for clothing items and accessories are intended to be visible, easily distinguishable, comfortable and lightweight, while allowing complete freedom of movement and adaptation to different activities.

In terms of their multipurpose orientation, clothing items and accessories are versatile enough to adapt to the requirements of different categories and are designed to be comfortable in both cool and hot conditions. The designs do not make any reference to a staff hierarchy.

The principle of diversity is reflected in the fact that Forum staff wear seeks to avoid the idea of uniformity, highlighting instead the message of identification with a community.

Assignment of color ranges

Orange: Used for employees whose main mission involves providing services directly to the general public.
Dark red: Used for employees who attend to the needs of specific groups and interact with the public directly or indirectly.
Blue: Used for employees who carry out technical work or provide technical support but who do not normally interact directly with the public.
"It's my donation to the event"

Designer Antonio Miró expressed his satisfaction at “participating in a humanistic event like the Forum, a necessary utopia.” Miró explained that he personally offered to donate his services to the Forum and design the uniforms free of charge. Miró has a personal interpretation of each of the colors of the garments. Orange is for Miró a color of peace and harmony, while white is a soothing, welcoming color that expresses goodwill. Staff dressed in white will wear sandals. “I have always liked sandals,” said Miró, “and since this year is the Year of Dalí, who liked very much to wear them, I thought it was a good idea".
