Sun Child Environmental Festival in Armenia
Due to an overwhelming response for participation the first ever environmental festival in Armenia will take place at two different times, April and October 2007.
Festival dates split due to overwhelming response
After the announcement of SunChild Festival there was an overwhelming response 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 stable and serious forum where all of them could be presented in an appropriate way, more time was needed. So after negotiations with partners it was decided to split the activities.
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).
