This planning group working came from a wide range of nations including: Brasil, the Philipinnes, China and Madagascar. The wonderful cultural mix enabled the content of the programme to have a truly \u2018global\u2019 vision, reaching beyond the boundaries of the performance arena: in fact the idea and suggestion from the youth in Hungary was to involve the whole city, having events in the streets, squares and above all, given their significance for the Hungarian capital \u2013 the bridges of Budapest.  The basic plan for the remaining preparation is not just to work out the detail but to also involve other young people and get ready for an event that won\u2019t be an end in itself but, be the culmination of a journey in mutual love that doesn\u2019t end there: that work now needs to start in each nation.  As we don\u2019t want to spoil the surprise we won\u2019t divulge any more details, the note to put in your diary reads: Youth for a United World hope to see you in Budapest from 31st august to 2nd September 2012.  <a href=\"http:\/\/giovaniperunmondounito.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/giovaniperunmondounito.blogspot.com\/<\/a>  [nggallery id=55]  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  <strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The preparations for the next Genfest are well underway.
