Dear
Friends
Reading
International Festival 2007
Friday 12th – Wednesday 31st October 2007
Reading
International Festival planning is beginning. The Festival aims
to highlight, promote & celebrate international activities,
links and solidarity in Reading. This year we particularly commemorate
200 centenary of the Abolition of Slavery and some groups are
involved in the production of an exhibition entitled: Reading
Links – Abolition of Slavery.
As well as all the other human rights and environmental issues
we, encourage groups to organise events on this theme.
Black
History Month
celebrates Reading’s active and rich diverse community
life with an emphasis on slavery issues as well. One World Week
is also included with the theme of ‘All Together Now’.
If your organisation is planning an event,
theatre, workshop, feast, celebration, music, talk or film with
an international dimension during this time, why not get it
included FREE in this year's Festival Leaflet. It helps spread
the word to other groups, because all participating groups help
distributing the 12,000 leaflets to their own networks and throughout
the town.
This
year the deadline will be August 30th with a Joint meeting on
Wednesday 5th September 7.30pm 2007 ...it will help us enormously
if you fill in your forms a.s.a.p. even if there are some details
missing. It helps us to get a better picture of what is likely
to happen and thus avoid clashes of similar events.
If
you would like to check out how dates are being booked or talk
about an event, please don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck
with all your events.
Best
Wishes
