Dear All,

Greetings from Pravah!

Details

Date: 9th- 10th December 2009

Time: 9:30 am- 4:30 pm

Venue: Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall (Opp. Department of Social Work, Delhi University),

University Road, Delhi - 110007

We hope that you will join us in this effort to bring together young people and diverse non governmental organisations. The event will offer the participants opportunities to explore and identify ways in which they can engage with these groups and begin their journey towards becoming active citizens. We expect that through this platform, the young people will be able to travel from 'Me to We', and be able to lead processes for positive social transformation.

This year for the first time Pravah’s SMILE volunteers are also organising Music for Harmony at North Campus as part of the larger festival. We look forward to this endeavour to redefine and understand peace and together celebrating and exploring ways of realising it, creating just as much energy in north campus as it did over the past 7 years at Dilli Haat during the Dastkaar Nature Bazaar.

Please find attached the formal invitation for the two day Youth Festival as well as “Encore: Music for Harmony 2009” on the 10th of December 2009.

We would appreciate it if you could spread the word and circulate the invite to as many people as possible.

Hoping to see you there...

Thank you!

With love, peace and energy
