SunChild Festival News
After the announcement of SunChild Festival there were overwhelming
responses from many national and international organizations, schools and
individuals from neighboring countries like Iran, Turkey or Georgia. Many
people and organizations are ready to contribute to SunChild Festival with
their own activities and with films, photos, works of art or music.
In order to canalise all these new approaches and to create a stabile and
serious forum where all of them could be presented in an appropriate way,
the organizers need more time. Especially the international part of the
festival needs now - after so many responses - a more thorough
preparation. So after negotiations with the festival partners it was just
decided to split current activities. Splitting the festival enables people
working for its realiztion to fulfil theiir mission with the
seriousness and competence which should be expected by organisers of such
an important, large scale event.
SunChild Environmental Festival will now have two parts:
First part of the Festival will be held - as already announced - from 1st
to 15th of April. This first part is a combination of local events which
are organised by FPWC, SunChild NGO and local partners. In these two weeks
there will be concerts, a march for environment, tree-planting and
environmental-cleaning events in different parts of Armenia. The children
who are already active in the FPWC school-projects will be involved in all
these activities.
These big public events will help to raise public awareness for the
environmental problems of Armenia.
Second part of the Festival will be held from 6th to 10th of October 2007.
This part will be dedicated to creating an international/regional,
cross-border platform for an environmental movement in the
Southern-Caucasus. This part of the festival will combine international
workshops, a regional/international environmental film-program, a national
and international children's film-program (children made films from all
over the world and films made by children, which are active in FPWC
school-projects!) and nature-photo exhibitions (photos shot by children,
which are active in FPWC school-projects and professional photographers).
Join SunChild in April and October!
