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
