The programme will include performances by students of the music conservatories “L. Canepa”, “D. A. Azuni” and "G. Marconi", special performances by soloists, pop groups, a jazz ensemble, as well as poetry recitals. The winning videos of the Ministry of Education’s 2014 “Music Against Child Labour” competition will be presented. A large canvas (7,8m x 3,5m) “Monopoly: This is not a game” created by the students to raise awareness about child labour will be displayed and presented to the audience. Director Antonio Ligios of the prestigious Conservatory of Music "Luigi Canepa" will officially adhere to the Initiative and present his statement of support.
