Dear crazy Culture Lovers, today officially starts the first part of the CWG project that will reach its climax with the spring event organised by AEGEE-Trieste & CWG: "Poetry and Youth: your key to hope" This project is spilt in two important parts: - the first one is a direct call to your heart and sensibility, to your will of express your thought through the language of the soul. Following the theme "frontiers: ...that divide, that join, real or metaphoric" you could write a poem and send it, as explained in the attachement, to actively participate to the International Poetry Competition "Castello di Duino". - the second part, the event, will take place in Trieste and Duino during the weekend 23-25 of March. There, the winners, University students and AEGEE participants will have chance to meet, read and breath poetry and reflect around the theme of the event and, of course, to visit Trieste and its magic surroundings and have fun together. ;-))) (soon more details...) So, dear poets, don't be afraid to discover the tender part of your soul and to share it with us! This is your chance to live AEGEE spirit in a new, bright way!
