Europa Nova Foundation – Welcome the artists-ambassadors of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation.

Thanks to the support of Mrs. Robert Manchin, president of Gallup Europe and chairperson of the Europa Nova Foundation, the artists-ambassadors selected by the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation for the European project "Islands Voices" will participate in the symposium organized from 24-28 August 2010 in Losinj island in Croatia.

The purpose of this session is to reflect on the islands as microcosm of the world in collaboration with some experts and intellectuals from different spheres of activities. The artists will bring their knowledge and skills that they will share with different audiences during participative workshops, so as to underline that each person is in a way an island to be discovered and to be linked together, as to build up an archipelago of competences and collaborations. They will end their stay with a public performance centered on music and dance.

Artists-ambassadors:
Jason Carter (musician), Milton Paulo (dancer), Patries Wichers (multidisciplinary artist)
