Light of Hope - a bilingual Choreography Music phenomenon
The Light of Hope, a bilingual Choreography Music theatre programme,
uses the principles of the Red Cross movement to inspire youth to be
involved in various activities including training related to
humanitarian action.
It also allows youth to identify vulnerability in their communities
and villages and develop innovative and creative ways in which they can
offer service to these communities, whilst working under the guiding
principle of Humanity.
This programme is a broad cross-cultural, communication-oriented
educational module aimed at teaching basic humanitarian principles. At
the same time it links theory to action in favour of returnees, IDPs and
other vulnerable people in targeted communities.
Youth are encouraged to help others and eventually to be involved in
cross-cultural events that help to identify, respect and promote a
multi-ethnic society where only peaceful cooperation and mutual
acceptance among all can build respect for human dignity and help avoid
human suffering.
The episode introduces 30 amateur theatre artists from selected
schools in the districts of Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Anuradhapura who
have been trained in the basic techniques of theatre under the PHV
component. The nucleus of the performance is to highlight how the
promotion of humanitarian values within the social fabric could bring
more understanding, social cohesion and prosperity in a multi ethnic
community like Sri Lanka.
The Light of Hope bilingual Choreography Music theatre is produced by
the Promotion of Humanitarian Values programme of the Sri Lanka Red
Cross Society with support made available by German Red Cross and the
European Union under its flagship ACAP project.
The event will be staged on Sunday 24th at 4.00 pm at the Ruhunu
Auditorium, Buddhist Cultural Centre, Sambuddha Jayanthi Mawatha Colombo
