Additonal Information
On August 17th, the hugely exciting Viva Vida Pro-Life Youth Festival wil be held in Madrid during World Youth Day 2011.
The magnificent Circulo della Belles Artes de Madrid, in the centre of the city, will be host to the Festival which has been organised by Youth Defence. It's expected to attract hundreds of young pro-life activists and leaders who will hear from leading pro-life advocates, listen to some of the best music bands , and learn moves for a pro-life 'flash mob' which will take place in Madrid's city centre. Featured bands include the very popular Ooberfuse, Elation Ministries L'Angelus and Scythian.
The Festival aims to build on the growing synergy and strength of youth-led pro-life groups, who are gaining new ground across Europe and the rest of the world. It will give a platform to more than a dozen such pro-life groups from Spain, Australia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, the US, and other countries, and promises to be an exciting and positive celebration of Life aiming to encourage pro-life activism.
Speakers include renowned pro-life leader Cardinal George Pell, the pro-life investigative journalist, Lila Rose, and Fr Stan Fortuna.
The conference aims to emphasise the words of Pope Benedict who said that 'It is necessary that the whole of society defend the right to life'. As well as the Festival and the planned flash mob, the conference will reach thousands of young Catholics attending World Youth Day with special 'call to action' cards featuring Pope Benedict's words and giving web addresses of pro-life groups across the world.
Abortion is the human rights issue of our generation and we need to be informed, inspired and motivated to defend life.
The Festival is one of a series of the Viva la Vida events organised by Youth Defence in recent years which have attracted young pro-life leaders and activists and contributed to a significant rise in pro-life activism right across Europe.
Don't miss it!
