Carnival Seminar

Julie has been invited to attend a Carnival Seminar in Liverpool on 19th March which is hosted by The Arts Council of England.  The seminar is ‘aiming for an informed and business-ready sector’ and states “The next five years offer once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for the carnival sector across England.”   

It will be a great chance to catch up with colleagues from other carnival organisations, and one of the speakers is Henrique da Silva, whom Julie met when in Rio in 2005. Henrique is now President of Paraiso School of Samba, winner of the Notting Hill Carnival ‘Band on the Road’ competition.
