Cultural Creative/Transformation Elements

Enjoyable times allow one to forget the negative forces around our world, mingle with different peoples, and allow sociological barriers to dissipate. Music Pack the stadium(s) and park(s) with diverse peoples celebrating the positive lyric music of great musical groups from several forms of music Positive lyrics go to the subconscious and take root Cooperative Games/New Games/ Project Adventure style activities Shared and played as demonstrated by schools and professionals, adding fun and cooperative play for all to participate in and around the concert venue/park. Inspiring talks/Workshops Interspersed throughout the concerts, Nobel laureates and renowned speakers would present a greater vision for humanity to strive for every one’s edification and for the end of hunger and violence. Prior to and following the World Fest they would offer workshops, lectures, and media interviews stimulating more understanding how to create peace and prosperity for all. Ethnic Food Offer people exposure to many ethnic foods of the world – tasting the flavors of various cultures. Folk Art/Crafts/Dance/Performing Arts Offer people exposure to many diverse cultural expressions of the world – allowing growing appreciation thereof. Information Booths - Offering how each person may Take action to end hunger, Bring about sustainable – environmentally conscious living Learn conflict resolution skills Spread Character Education Learn where and how to volunteer your expertise/time for NPO’s, including the World Fest Organization. Spread peace (offering practices that generate peace within oneself, the family, and community) Spreading to more cities annually While exposing even more people around the world through the various electronic/digital media.

The World Fest is designed to promote unity amongst the diverse populace of a host city / country while bringing abundant amounts of money and volunteers to Non-Profit Organizations.

The main attraction will be entertaining positive music that brings all ethnicities together in a fun and inspiring atmosphere. The opportunity to simultaneously help the poor and spread peace and sustainability is an added attraction. All levels of society will be able to participate in this annual event with more cities regularly added, thus including more people, helping more people. The goal is to have people peacefully gathering together in the world’s cities, each year celebrating together on the same weekend while disseminating generic information on practices which generate peace within oneself, the family, community, etc.

Purpose of the World Fest is to: Make peace and ending world hunger begin with a sharing of good times at a world-wide festival. The profits from it would be cycled to Non-Profit Organizations proven to affect peace and prosperity for all. World Fest is planned as an annual event that is to be broadcast live throughout the world. The idea is to promote goodwill amongst people while helping the less fortunate. Our goal is to donate progressively more of our profits to local and international Non-Profit Organizations, subsequent World Fest’s will allow us to push our profit donations beyond 90%. At each World Fest venue — q Pack the stadium(s) and park(s) with people celebrating the positive lyric music of great musical groups of several forms of music as rap, soul, country, folk, jazz, rock, musicals, indigenous, big band, classical, etc. q During the breaks in groups / stage adjustments, short inspiring talks by Nobel laureates and renowned speakers would be given to present a greater vision for humanity to strive for every one’s edification and for the end of hunger and violence q Gather food, money, and clothing for the less fortunate q Diverse folk arts and crafts sold of positive images and posters - any profits would have at least 3/4 go to the World Fest charities q Booths with information on how each person may take action to end hunger, bring about sustainable living, and more peace (offering practices that generate peace within oneself, the family, and community) q Booths of ethnic food with at least 3/4 of profits going to charities. q Inform the public of opportunities to benefit humanity by donating their time, expertise and resources; provide character development programs and practices for the improvement of the society. Promoted as a public service by the common people of the world who communicate their will to have the World Fest along with: music companies, chambers of commerce, newspapers/radio/television, ethnic organizations, restaurants, and any other viable entity. No less than 80% of the profits are to go to established quality charities – the rest is spent on spreading the WF.

Location and Dates: Many major cities of each world region – many of which are “sister cities.” On the last equinox time period of the year– September 18 to 20, 2009 to honor the equality of the world's peoples. Expanding each year to more and more cities.

Quality restaurants and ethnic groups would support this area. Ethnic/Folk dance performed on stages AND participated in some of these areas. Inclusive booths that show how and where people could volunteer their time and expertise to the needy NPO’s of their area and/or the world. New Games, Project Adventure style activities and Cooperative games/play could be shared and played as demonstrated by schools and professionals, adding fun and cooperative play for all to participate in and around the Concert venue/park. GRAND OPENING EVENT: A grand peace and harmony parade with youth bands, drill teams, and floats created by the children/schools of the city and region leading to a major park/stadium for the festivities. Posters/Murals may be created by the schools in each area of the world’s cities supporting and promoting the theme of the World Fest. Clowns, storytellers (sharing positive character developing stories like from Chicken Soup for the Soul series or the Book of Virtues), Morality Plays, 'street entertainers' could meander through the park or be located around it. Any donations to them would have at least 3/4 of profits go to charities. Ethnic/folk bands and troubadours could be located around the venues. Health clinics could screen for high blood pressure, 'Fat' screening, Blood Pressure, etc., In Africa/Asia, it could be Aides/TB/Malaria screening too. Job placement centers located around the areas. Dept. of Human Services would support/staff this. Expositions of the various health and welfare services, of the locality, could be on display in various areas of the park/stadium. Concurrent museum displays and exemplary lectures would depict the positive influences of humans in the world’s evolution toward a more peaceful, quality coexistence. A World Fest Cinema Festival to coincide with the World Fest. It would dramatically elucidate the ideals of the WF in dramatic, comedy, and documentary forms of the film media. The first WF Cinema Festival would occur in Los Angeles and cycle around to London, Bombay, Sydney, and back in succeeding years. A Computer Game Extravaganza would showcase the “New Games” which stimulate character, and unity, cooperative games/play. Included could be Games that would stimulate solving the problems of human connectedness/cooperation, environmental issues, etc. The Boy/Girl Scouts could help supervise the areas – setting examples for “O” Waste, recycling, community service, etc. The necessary Police would be offered a training as Peace Officers rather than… A Booth with Character Inclusion books, tapes, videos, literature/handouts - spreading the social values of practicing the virtuous life. Sustainable Housing/Living presented in booth and as an actuality, build a 500 sq. ft. home/structure in 24 hours. Documentary Film Exposition of environmental and social action issues to stimulate discussion and action, such as the Nobelist, Inconvenient Truth, The Man Who Planted Trees, etc. The inspiring speakers of the World Fest could come to the city sometime prior to and/or stay later to offer speaking and workshop engagements - generating more practical inspiration for more people to get the message of peace and prosperity for ALL. They also could be on radio and television programs doing the same – all the while promoting the World Fest. Each year a new theme for the World Fest would stimulate the inspired artists to create new music/lyrics, art/crafts, stage and other performances thus keeping the World Fest attractive, fresh, and vibrant. These would be at each World Fest, others from this list may be added each year to bring more people participating and benefiting. AND each year more cities are added – to bring the joy of music, food, philanthropy, and playing together back to the Human Family. How shall it happen all over the world? How do you see yourself as being one of the supporters, organizers, or sponsors? Share it with love with friends/anyone; expose some or all forms to the media, producers, etc. to do it. Make it you own, do what you can do and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You could: make a phone call to a mayor or governmental representative, PERSONALLY MEETING someone about this transformative selfless project, emailing this to all your friends/acquaintances, etc.

If you don’t feel comfortable speaking about it, have me talk with them…

Here is a chance to do a great thing through a simple sharing or more... Let's make the world a better place with fun, food and festivities for all... The financial statement of the World Fest Organization would be open to public scrutiny. As would the NPO’s that donations are made to through the WFO.

The World Fest would attract a great diversity of people in a city to “cooperatively play” (non-competitive games) together and experience the joy of being part of the Family of Man — while at the same time, helping the less fortunate. The World Fest Organization will impact our world in the following ways by funding and stimulating volunteers to NPO’s that: 1. Improve the quality of life for the third-world on a localized level through sustainable living practices / technologies, and conflict resolution skills, also bringing back cottage industries 2. Educating the masses in character education and sustainable living practices for the amelioration of the world. 3. Bringing more health enhancing practices to the third-world for the eradication of malaria, AIDS, and tuberculosis, and providing access to pure water. 4. Stimulate a sustainable environment, housing, and lifestyle – as in the Green Belt Movement in Africa – thus preventing excess global warming and desertification.

Project Location World Fest Organization will be established in Los Angeles with Operational centers in London, Mumbai, Johannesburg, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro. The first year venues would be: Los Angeles, London, Mumbai, Johannesburg, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro. Each year the number of cities would nearly double to cities like: Toronto, Rome, Nairobi, Bogotá, Istanbul, Beijing – and onward ultimately to places like Bismarck, North Dakota…. The first offices will be in London, Mumbai, Johannesburg, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, and Los Angeles would be the international headquarters.

It is understood, just as with the Olympics, the stars/performers, would be there for Altruistic/Charitable purposes – their music/performing arts company would have them there for PR and pay their expenses. Each year the stars would cycle around to different major cities bringing fresh faces to each venue.
