Concorso Internazionale di Poesia Castello di Duino- Forum Mondiale dei Giovani Diritto di Dialogo

2012

PROGRAM OF EVENTS

“Castello di Duino” International Poetry Prize –  World Youth Forum “Right to Dialogue”

Poetry and Solidarity Languages of People

The network formed around the “Castello di Duino” International Poetry Prize promotes two series of artistic and cultural events, which have their epicenter in Trieste and different ramifications in the provinces of Friuli Venezia Giulia: the SPRING FESTIVAL (21st-25th March 2012) and the WORLD YOUTH FORUM “Right to Dialogue” (September 2012).

The program in its whole wants to see Trieste “overrun” by young people carrying a message of beauty that can be conveyed beyond any border and any age. It sparks intergenerational and intercultural meeting, with poets and literature of different commitment and origins too.

The theme of the Contest, Mirror/Masks, will be the leitmotif of the whole 2012 program.
