>>From April 1 to 15 in Dilijan, Armenia, the First Regional Environmental
Festival Sun Child will take place. The festival is organized by the Foundation
for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets in the Republic of
Armenia (FPWC) and Sun Child NGO.
The aim of the festival is to raise public awareness of the environmental
problems existing in the region and to establish a neutral field for
cooperation, thus promoting the search of new, efficient solutions.
In the framework of the festival film screenings in competitive and nonâ~@~S
competitive sections, photo exhibitions, open-air concerts as well as a number of
environmental activities -tours, tree planting, scavenging in different
regions of Armenia are planned. Great importance is attached to the environmental
workshops since they are an excellent opportunity for the exchange of the
international experience. Experts, ecologists and ecojournalists from the
region and abroad will take part in them. In the framework of the workshops such
acute issues as advocacy coalition building, networking and eco-tourism will be
discussed and an exhibition of advocacy campaigns and tools will be held.
The festival puts a special emphasis on the youth and children participation
as the new generation of the region constitutes a strong whole able to
overstep boundaries.
To bring children closer to nature, to make them appreciate the treasures of
their motherland and finally to arise interest towards environmental issues
FPWC already organizes environmental film screenings and courses in regional
schools. Children are given opportunity to feature their own environmental
films, the best of which will later compete in the Children Film Program of the
festival.
