Dear Madam,
Under the slogan “LET THE PLANET SHINE”, the 49th
Traditional International Gathering of Children of Europe – Joy of Europe
will be held in Belgrade, from October 2nd
to 5th 2018. The founder and general sponsor of the International Gathering of Children of
Europe is the Belgrade City
Administration, and the executive producer is the Children’s Cultural Centre of Belgrade. The manifestation has been
granted the EFFE 2017-2018 label of quality by the European Commission.
Eligible participants at the “Joy of
Europe” festival are art schools,
cultural centers, studios, clubs, associations, but first and foremost groups
that have achieved remarkable results at national and international
competitions, festivals, and similar.
Stage performance can be presented
in the form of dance (classical,
traditional, jazz or contemporary dance), music (vocal group or choir), as well
as multimedia performance.
Visiting groups can have no more
than 15 children participants, from 7 to 14 years old, as well as 2 adult group leaders. Children will be
accommodated in host families from Belgrade schools, with children of their
age, one child per family, because
the point of these gatherings is making friends and developing lasting
friendships, as well as getting acquainted with new and different cultures. The organizers cover the expenses of half board accommodation for the two adult group leaders.
The participants cover the expenses of transportation to
Belgrade and back, and should they choose to use their
own bus during the event, the organizer
will cover fuel expenses during the event, as well as the accommodation for two
drivers.
The 49th Joy of Europe will be dedicated to environment
protection, as one of the priority issues connecting children of the world,
developing ecological consciousness and
responsible relation toward the planet Earth and its resources. It is our wish that children and their
educators be inspired by natural beauty, energy of the Sun, waves, water,
wind...by recycling, or free interpretation of manifestation slogan in preparation
for the Gala concert, stage performance permitting. Theme can be interpreted
widely, in accordance with artistic sensibility of the group.
