Genfest programme: a brief outline

The Genfest will begin on Friday afternoon, 31^st August, with an Expo on the deck area of  Budapest Sports’ Arena, displaying the life and activities of the Youth for a United World.

That evening, after a welcome session by the Hungarian people and the authorities, there will be a “worldwide” Concert, in which the musicians will be youth from all over the world.

On Saturday, 1^st September, the programme in the hall will switch from music to choreographies and from testimonies to sharing among the participants. The metaphor of constructing a bridge will be used as a symbol in building true and authentic relationships. At the end of the programme, a Project will be proposed to the United Nations to constitute a permanent Observatory office on universal brotherhood among nations. Through a signature campaign, an appeal will be forwarded in order to achieve precise objectives.
This Project initiative will kick off during the United World Week (UWW) which will be held from 1^st to 12^th May and this will coincide with the “start” of the year dedicated to the Genfest and it will continue up till UWW 2013 (1^st May 2013). For this signature campaign to bear fruit, the initiatives of the Youth for a United World on universal brotherhood will cover the whole year.

The evening of 1^st September, exiting the Arena, there will be a march for peace and brotherhood. We would like to invite the whole city to participate in it.

Sunday, 2^nd September, all the youth will be part of different celebrations, according to their Church affiliation, in the city’s many places of worship. We are also planning moments a moment of communion for those youth of different faiths and of reflection for youth with non-religious convictions.

We look forward to meeting you soon in Budapest!

To all of you, all the best for the preparations for Genfest 2012!!!
