World Youth Congress 2005 Scotland

This summer will see youth delegates promoting volunteering, global citizenship and sustainable lifestyles at the World Youth Congress 2005. Scotland will play host to over 500 of the most dynamic, socially and environmentally aware young people on the planet. They will be joined by celebrities, dignitaries from the United Nations, the World Bank, non-governmental organisations, businesses and academia. And they’re going to need to be entertained!

There is opportunity at WYC 2005 for dancers, singers, actors, musicians and any other performers who are passionate about the issues of poverty, environment and social inclusion. It hopes to boast a line up of the most outstanding youth performers from all around the world with an opportunity to showcase spectacular cultural performances during our plenaries, exhibitions and evening entertainment.

These performances will distil the traditional, contemporary, modern and fusion forms of dance, music and theatre into an extravaganza of Cultural Heritage. It represents a great opportunity of aspiring young artists to perform on stage before a distinguished live audience and to the international media.

Young performers will also have the opportunity to work with internationally renowned actors, directors and choreographers from theatre, television and film. These professionals will help the performers develop their craft through workshops and also by supporting them in a unique film project which all performers will participate in.

The organisers are looking for groups or individual young performers with a varied repertoire of music and dance across all cultural genres. You need to have at least one, preferably more, performances ready to run by the time of the congress. For more information visit www.scotland2005.org
