The Carano 4 Children foundation has launched the “Leonardo 4 Children 2021: Climate Action and Gender Equality” non-profit initiative, aiming to empower children and young people across Europe to contribute to addressing the issues of climate change and gender discrimination, while supporting children in need through art and science education.
The non-profit initiative “Leonardo 4 Children” includes competitions that represent a kind of “Nobel prize” for children. In fact, if Leonardo da Vinci were reborn today, 500 years after his death, he would not need to solve the problems of discovering the functioning of the human body, or inventing ways to make man flying, or inventing machines: he would likely focus on using creativity to solve global problems to improve the quality of our lives.
Composers aged 18-30 years old and resident in Europe, graduated from or enrolled in a Music Conservatory or Music School are invited to participate in the initiative to create an original music composition inspired by a fable by Leonardo da Vinci or a fable invented by young European children on climate.
Awards include an invitation to award ceremony and concert on 30/9 in Brussels, performance of the winning compositions at concerts, promotion and public recognition of the authors.
More information is available in the attachment below and on the initiative's website.
