We invite all teenagers and young people to participate in the Animal Masquerade Parade, organized as part of the SunChild International Environmental Festival.
The Animal Masquerade Parade will be a colorful and spectacular procession through the central streets of Yerevan. Participants will create and wear costumes representing endangered animal and/or plant species, using recycled and repurposed materials.
What is required to participate?
- Participants should create attractive costumes and masks representing different endangered animal and/or plant species, using recycled materials such as paper, fabric, plastic, metal, and other waste.
- Prepare colorful signs promoting biodiversity conservation.
- The sign should include the team name, region, and, if representing an institution, the name of the institution.
- On 25 October, participants will walk through the central streets of Yerevan with their environmental slogans, creative characters, and original ideas.
- Teams should have a recognizable identity, with all participants clearly identifiable as part of the same team. Teams may participate as one or several groups.
- Each team must have a designated leader responsible for the participants throughout the parade and ensuring that they remain together. Police officers will also accompany the procession.
