Musical Splendor &
New York, New York
We have had a busy few months recently - the 6th World Youth Congress website and its application form was launched, the Sustainaville and sustainable development education books are nearing their deadline (making those working on them, a bit panicky) and we have got the Rio+20 musical on its feet, along with a nice trip to the UN in New York.
Rio+20 Musical
Michael Gentle directed a cast of 8 young people in the 2012 Peace Child musical, which focuses on Rio+20 and how we can take action right now. The musical was performed in Cambridge University and at the general UNESCO October conference in Paris
You yourself can download the new Peace Child musical to perform it in your school or community and get in touch with Micheal himself at mike.lee.gentle@gmail.com
New York UN meeting
The Road to Rio+20 project is gearing up for an amazing 2012- Last week ourselves and the Road to Rio+20 partners were in New York to plan for future global youth mobilization and to present a conference at the UN headquarters.
You can re-watch this conference in all its glory here and photos and more video will appear within the week.
