Green Games to launch in Paris

30 May 2013

PARIS: The Green Games will be officially launched on 4 June 2013 at the UNESCO building in Paris, France. Aimed at children aged 6 to 12 years old, the event, which aims to make young people aware of environmental problems, will feature a mix of sport, entertainment and personal enrichment.

During the course of the two-year project (April 2011 to April 2013) the founders have met global personalities from the world of environmental protection, including the United States, Canada, Peru, Brasil, Chili, Argentina, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Japan, India, Senegal, Switzerland and more. The personalities who have accepted to sponsor the Green Games are subsequently named Guardian Angels of the Planet. Their role is to pass on to children their experience, knowledge and environmental awareness so that they too can dedicate themselves to the global environmental protection project.

This world tour has resulted in 100 Guardian Angels across five continents being recruited. The founding congress will be held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris from 3-5 June 2013, in partnership with the global conference.

The Green Games finals aims to bring together children from across the world in June 2015.
