USA NATIONAL DELPHIC COUNCIL
Linking Arts & Cultures
I am the new executive director for the USA National Delphic Council. We have a great vision for the role that the Delphic Games can play on the world stage. We would like you to be a part of helping us create America’s team.
The Delphic Games were first instituted in Greece along with the Olympics. The difference being that the Delphic is for the Arts: literature, oratory, drama, music, painting and sculpture. They had such a high priority in ancient times that even wars and conflicts had to stop during the time of the games.
One hundred years after the re-launch of the Olympic Games of the Modern Era, the International Delphic Council (IDC) took place in Berlin in 1994 to start off the Delphic Games of the Modern Era. The IDC arranges for the Delphic Games and the Junior Delphic Games to take place within a four-year period on a two year rotating basis.
This competition of spirit will vitalize and enlarge the cultural development, preserve the cultural heritage, strengthen the cultural diversity of people and serve understanding and reconciliation with a globalised world. The Delphic Games of the Modern Era are a forum for peaceful dialogue of all cultures. The continuous founding of additional national Delphic Councils in all continents is strengthening the cultural network and the chance of a peaceful world. ”
The USA National Delphic Council wants to develop America’s role and in order to do that we must foster awareness and support. We need volunteers and sponsors. Our list of priorities include: fundraising for our staff and administrative costs, an artistic and functional website, promotion and education. There is a photographic exhibition and presentation which features the highlights, success and beauty of the last games in Korea where 40 countries and 3,000 participants competed. This one day event will help us launch the games in our country with the long term goals of full USA participation in all categories and eventually hosting the international competitions. The presenters will come from Germany. We have a host family to house them and are looking for a venue for the show. The dates we have in mind are September 25th, October 2nd or 9th evening with time for set up and take down. The event will include light food and drink.
Next year’s games will be the Jr. Delphic’s cycle. Talented young people will be sponsored to participate in them. I invite you to look at the IDC website: http://www.blogger.com/www.delphic.org%20 or http://www.delphic.de/ .For more information and to volunteer email me at mpowellusandc@gmail.com.
