EARTHDANCE
Sydney |
***EARTHDANCE SYDNEY 2008*** Earthdance Sydney maintains a long tradition of mixing genres and blurring boundaries across both local and global spheres. The entire city of Sydney is again invited to enjoy the broad array of festivities - spanning music, arts and drama to interactive workshops, markets and much more - at the new location of Prince Alfred Park. With 5 music stages and plenty of activities for the whole family this FREE event is not to miss if you're anywhere near Australia this September 13th. Devoid of commercial imperatives Earthdance Sydney provides a chance to enjoy and absorb much of the local ethos and talent that one is not always exposed to. Bringing different sectors of the community together to celebrate and support global peace and humanitarian aims, the festival will also showcase what makes Sydney such an exciting artistic hub. ***OFFICIAL EARTHDANCE FUNDRAISER*** We foreshadowed that philanthropy would never be this hedonistic and we were right! The Earthdance Fundraiser on Saturday 9 August was an astounding success, with Earthdance veterans and newcomers alike lighting up five stages of The Cross, The Bourbon and The Bunker and kickstarting the countdown to Sydney Earthdance 2008 in grand style. So at this juncture we feel it is appropriate to issue an appropriately affectionate and indeed earthy - thankyou to all the local DJs, promoters, organisers, media representatives and volunteers who made the spectacular event possible. But, while on the gratuities front, it is of the utmost importance that we thank all the members of the public who came along on Saturday and gave the night such an amazing atmosphere. Over $7000 was raised from the fundraiser that will go towards the forthcoming Sydney Earthdance festival, which is now only four weeks away! And special thanks to all those who donated even extra and purchased armbands on the door, every cent counts!

Prince Alfred Park is literally next to Central Station (Sydney's main transport hub), finding a park is impossible, rangers & RBTs will be active on the day, and there's already enough pollution, so leave your car at home.

The AIME program partners Indigenous and non-Indigenous university students with Indigenous high school students in a one-on-one mentoring relationship. The program runs for 17 weeks, over terms two and three. The Year 9 Interactive Program has sessions on racism, education, personal business plans, hip hop, art, NRL, drama, press conferences and more. The basic concept of this program is engagement. The Year 10 Leadership Program has sessions on respect/empathy, Year 11/12 subject selection, how to study, mental health, depression, resilience, drugs and alcohol, writing and photography; and students in this stream define a duty statement for the Indigenous students at their school that is framed and hung in the front office. The basic concept of this program is self development. Finally, The Year 11 and 12 Tutoring Program offers students a tutor for one hour a week for 17 weeks. Tutors are trained in the best practice methods from the NSW Quality Teaching Framework. AIME also runs or helps staff Homework Centers at participating schools. |
