WhaleFest 2012
It has been called the world’s biggest celebration
of wild whales and dolphins: after the success of WhaleFest 2011, this year’s
event is being held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole, the very place where the
world voted 30 years ago to stop hunting whales. This historic anniversary is
an opportunity to inspire people about whales, dolphins and our oceans.The
WhaleFest 2012 will take place near London, in Brighton, Saturday October 27th
and Sunday 28th at the Hilton Brighton Metropole. It’s a global-scale event, say
the organizers, packed with life-sized whales, virtual whale watch trips, fun
family activities, celebrity speakers and more. The ‘WhaleFest Fringe’ is a whole week (22-28 October 2012) of music, arts and
cultural activities themed around whales and dolphins, backed by Visit Britain
and Visit Brighton. There are also two pre-WhaleFest conferences open to
everybody:
World
Whale Conference (Thurs 25-Fri 26 Oct)
World Whale and Dolphin Watch Operators Conference (Thurs 25-Fri 26 Oct)
World Whale and Dolphin Watch Operators Conference (Thurs 25-Fri 26 Oct)
Il 27 e 28 ottobre prossimi si
terrà a Brighton, vicino a Londra, il WhaleFest 2012, con diverse
manifestazioni aperte al grande pubblico degli appassionati di cetacei. Sono
previsti viaggi virtuali di whale watching, modelli di balene in dimensioni
naturali, attività per le famiglie,
conferenze. Per tutta la settimana dal 22 al 28 ci saranno poi eventi di
musica, arte e cultura ispirate al tema dei cetacei.
Due conferenze aperte al pubblico
sono:
Conferenza
mondiale sulle balene
Conferenza
mondiale degli operatori di whale watching (25 e 26 ottobre)
Il festival si tiene presso il Hilton
Brighton Metropole, ovvero proprio dove 30 anni fa il mondo votò per fermare la
caccia ai grandi cetacei.
