DAY 3, Friday June 10, 2005
DAY OF MEETINGS WITH THE RIGHT LIVELIHOOD AWARD LAUREATES
IN THE CITY AND STATE OF SALZBURG
For the first time, the meeting of the Alternative Nobel Prize Laureates will also provide the opportunity for the interested public to participate in sessions and events within the Jubilee conference. An extensive program has been developed which offers besides lectures, work shops and discussions a “Day of Meetings” on Friday the 10th of June. An in-tensive contact between numerous initiatives in the city as well as in the state of Salzburg enables the organisation committee to provide an active participation of the Alternative Nobel Prize Laureates at many local events. This will not only positively motivate the re-spective groups but also provide the Laureates with insights about activities and goals of these Salzburg groups. The interest of those initiatives and also from schools was tremendous. Invitations for RLA laureates to take part in distinguished events were ex-tended from all districts of Salzburg.
