Proposed Activities

Theme song (see Theme Song)
Request art/drama/music/poetry based on the “Vision” and “Mission”. The winners will be performed/presented/displayed at festival. This can be local, with virtual presentation accessible at the time of the festival.
Add your ideas

Establish cultural committees in each country or maybe each sponsoring non-profit. They could be responsible for introducing, managing and judging the themed-art contest.
Establish the technology needed for successful virtual presentation.
- What type?
- What are the pitfalls?

Table Mountain
- Prisca: Routes up the mountain represent the various migrations of peoples from Africa, with signposts describing when the migration occurred and the route, so its like you get to retrace the path, but learn a little DNA-based science on the way. People can choose any route they want. (i.e. you can be an honorary member of any tribe) But the steering committee will also provide marchers and some guidance to authentic cultural clothing.
- Question: How many ways up Table Mountain are there???
Synchronized feeds of the festival itself into worldwide locations, as well as a jumbotron showing feeds from local sites
- I have this concept of your local YWCA Zumba class doing a routine to the theme song and watching the rest of the world dancing too. Or like they do with the Met Opera, showing it at Movie Theaters. Or better yet, a concert venue. Here is the obvious one for Minneapolis http://www.thecedar.org/Cedar Cultural Center. We should identify venues in all major cities early and get on their schedules.
