Dear all,
The cooperation with the music and performing arts Glastonbury Festival is on the way to get implemented. With an attendance of more that 150.000–170.000 persons (one of the biggest open air festival world wide), the participation of the globally best known artist of contemporary popular music (Coldplay, Adele, Beck etc. etc. see: http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/), hosting also dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret etc., the presence of the world (music) press this is really a big step to bring the the IYGU movement and network into the global music and youth scene, and to make many important persons from the political arena aware of it. The cooperation will include most of all the presence in the Green Futures arena of the festival (http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/the-green-fields/green-futures/). Here IYGU is already in the spotlight:
'2016 is also the International Year of Global Understanding. The Green Fields is the perfect arena for highlighting this as we continue to promote and elevate awareness of how the local impacts the global. You will find many practical examples of how we as individuals can make a difference to the whole.'
In addition we just signed the memorandum of understanding for a global action center for the arts with the Laboratoire MEMOIRE DE L'AVENIR in Paris under the direction of Margalit Berriet. The global call for participation for the engagement of arts in the IYGU and global sustainability is attached.
I will keep you informed about the further developments!
Best wishes,
Benno
