SUMMARY:Free Virtual Performance for Kids: She No Princess\, He No Hero
DESCRIPTION:Join for the newly revised online version of FIAF’s beloved play She No Princess\, He No Hero! \nThis engaging virtual performance for families will be broadcast LIVE on Zoom and Facebook with kids able to interact with the actors during the performance and post-show Q&A. \nLeïli and Nils are in the same class. Leïli likes to hunt\, dress like boys\, and gel her short hair. Nils likes to wear his hair long\, shows his emotions\, and is not physically strong. Neither conforms to gendered roles that society dictates. Told through the voices of Leïli and Nils\, this intimate and poignant theater piece transports the audience into the mind of young boys and girls confronting the cultural stereotypes imposed on them as they come of age. \nConceived by celebrated French director Johanny Bert and based on a text by acclaimed French playwright Magali Mougel\, the performance unfolds in two parts\, one side narrated by Leïli\, the other by Nils. Like a puzzle\, the pieces come together allowing the audience to deconstruct clichés about identity. \nFollowing its world premiere at FIAF during the 2019 TILT Kids Festival\, She No Princess\, He No Hero toured in New York City’s public schools for more than a year\, receiving fantastic feedback from students and teachers alike. \n\nIn English\nDuration 40 minutes followed by a Q&A\nAllRecommended for ages 7 & up\n\nCast\nMarleny Heredia (Leïli)\nZan VaiLento (Nils) \nCreative Team\nConception and direction by Johanny Bert\nAssistant director: Dylan Ungaretta\nText commissioned from Magali Mougel\nTranslation by Christopher Campbell\nIllustrations: Michael Ribaltchenko\nProps & costumes: Thibaut Fack\nAdministration\, production\, touring: Mathieu Hilléreau and Les Indépendances\nProduced by the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)\nWith the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy

SUMMARY:UN Global Conversation With Ambassador Andrew Young: What a Wonderful World
DESCRIPTION:UN Virtual Global Conversation: Join the world’s biggest conversation \nKeynote speaker: Ambassador Andrew J. Young \nShare your perspective with the United Nations \nWhat: \n\nTo mark its 75th anniversary in 2020\, the United Nations will launch the biggest-ever global conversation on the role of global cooperation in building the future we want.\nThe UN75 initiative will work with partners from around the world to initiate dialogues within and across borders\, sectors and generations. The aim is to reach as many people as possible.​\n\nWhy: The objective is to stimulate longer-term discussion – and action – on reinvigorating global cooperation and on solutions to the biggest challenges we face. \n\nTo listen to their hopes and fears; and learn from their ideas and experiences.\nThrough these conversations\, the United Nations aims to build a global vision of 2045 – its centenary\, to increase understanding of the threats to that future\, and to generate ideas on expectations of global cooperation to secure that future.\nGlobal opinion polling and media analysis will be conducted in parallel to the dialogues to provide statistically representative data that can inform future communications and policy making.\nThe views and ideas generated will be presented to world leaders and senior UN officials at a high-profile event in September 2020\, as well as disseminated online and through partners on an ongoing basis.\n\nWho Can Participate:   \n\nAnyone can join this global conversation. While UN75 seeks to drive conversation in all segments of society – from classrooms to boardrooms\, parliaments to village halls – it will place special emphasis on youth\, and those who may not normally engage with the United Nations.
