We’re delighted to bring you news of PEACEFEST ’08, a benefit event for worldwide peace, on August 15th, 16th and 17th of 2008. Starting at 8AM SLT on the 15th and ending at 11:59 PM on the 17th and covering more than 20 sims, this festival will feature live music, theatre and dance performances, art exhibitions, panel discussions and a rally at the Peace Park in SL Central Park. Master schedules for these exciting events are posted at http://slpeacefest.wordpress.com and at Port Spinoza.
PEACEFEST ’08 is a global, cross-cultural effort to create lasting peace through mobilizing support and learning for RL Peace organizations. All proceeds from PEACEFEST ’08 will go to benefit organizations such as Amnesty International, UNICEF, World Conference Of Religions for Peace, Kids4Peace, and Uthango Social Investments.
This event represents a true cross-over from RL to SL and back again as RL speakers are brought in-world to discuss peace related initiatives in the global open and free SL forum. Musicians and speakers will be streamed in SL along with panel discussions and performances.
If you are interested in this project, you can donate directly to PeaceFest Pevensey, our official PeaceFest avatar. All transactions for PeaceFest are published on the website, and all proceeds go to the identified organizations. The group is the Peace Train and this is the first of what they hope will be many successful SL events in the cause of peace.
This is more than an event, it’s a journey….destination peace!
