Veillons sur notre monde
Dimanche 25 mai : 14h30 - 16h00
Conversation entre Sa Sainteté le Dalaï Lama et Jonathan Dimbleby
In response to the huge demand to hear His Holiness speak, an extra public talk has been arranged for the afternoon of Sunday 25th May at the Nottingham Arena. The afternoon will focus on how as individuals we can meet the challenges of our times, in particular environmental issues and concerns. Jonathan Dimbleby, the well-known TV and radio presenter and President of the Soil Association, will host the event.
The afternoon is open to a general audience but young people will be actively taking part.
Pupils from local schools in Nottingham will open the programme with a dramatic dance presentation on the theme of climate change. During the afternoon a panel of young people, chosen from the 'Any Questions' competition, will individually put their questions to the Dalai Lama. The event will conclude at 4 pm with a reading of poems, by their authors, selected from the many entries received for the 'Poetry Challenge'.
This special event is being organised by Dharma Network 2008, in collaboration with Nottingham Inter-Faith Council, Nottingham City Council Children's Services and the Nottingham Evening Post.
This event offers young people and their families a wonderful opportunity to attend a very important event for Nottingham.
