Salvador hosts the 9th Edition of the Youth Festival for Peace

"In all things seek unity and balance" - this is the attribute that governs the 9th Edition of the Youth Festival for Peace, which will take place in Salvador on July 28th at 8:30 am and 8:00 pm. The event will be done at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health, and has music presentations, artistic expositions, yoga, a round table and vegan snacks.

The attribute is also present in the principles of the Festival, such as "Love the Kingdoms of Nature", that stimulates respect and responsibility for the care of animals and the environment; the "Culture of Peace", that fosters fraternal coexistence among people, respecting the cultural diversity of the peoples and each one's way of being; and "Ecumenism", in which a young person has the freedom and the legitimacy of reaffirming their faith in the sacred, according to their own beliefs and inner experience.

These principles guided the selection of the artists, among which there is the reggae band Nazirê, that created the song "Wake up to life" which went viral, achieving more than 10 million viewings on the social networks. Also chosen for this edition were the musicians Pedro Pondé, awarded the Caymmi trophy with the Scambo band in 2004 and Fe Lira, a young man who sings and plays his own music, based on folk, pop and popular Brazilian Music.
