Under The Raintree Women's Cultural Festival
Description
The objective of Under The Raintree Women’s Cultural Festival is to inspire girls and women by introducing them to a new set of role models across the fields of arts, science, business and politics. <br />
Authors, filmmakers, dancers, artists, musicians, stand-up comics, actors, corporate leaders to participate in speaker sessions and present programmes and performances that are scintillating & thought-provoking. <br />
We ensure that these reach the right demographic by inviting educational institutions to send their students to both volunteer and participate in all the events.
In the run up to festival, curators will announce 'challenges'. these would be for choreography, music, poetry and verses etc. The most promising entries will chosen and the applicants will be mentored. Their work will be shown at the festival.<br />
Students of Media and Women Studies will be given priority in volunteer slots, and will work closely with curators and the Festival Director.<br />
Their work will be considered as projects that will considered during academic evaluation.
We partner with independent and recognised category experts who curate the events for the Festival. <br />
We commission original content for headline acts. <br />
We raise funds to ensure that every speaker/ performer/ artist is paid honorariums (not commercial rates). <br />
Some of our sponsors pay vendors some of the costs directly, such as the costs of venue or sound hire. <br />
Our accounts are audited by a certified chartered accountant and we give a report to sponsors.
