Celebration 10 years Earth Charter
Over 200 participants attended this event, including EC Commissioners, Affiliates, members of the International Council, youth leaders and Worldconnectors. The event had the honour of having the participation of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands and Prime Minister Balkenende. In his address, the Prime Minister said that "the art can change your life and that he would never forget the music he heard here today", and he compared the EC movement with a tree that has been growing, although not as much (and fast) as it should, but he hopes it will continue to grow until its leaves cover the whole world.

For the 10th anniversary of the Earth Charter, a major and inspiring event took place on 29 June in The Peace Palace, The Hague, Netherlands. This was exactly 10 years since the launch of the Earth Charter, and was a wonderful occasion to look backwards and forward with regards to the Earth Charter Initiative!
This was a wonderful occasion for participants to learn from each other and get extra portion of inspiration. A special feature was to have Minister of Culture and Youth of Costa Rica, Manuel Obregon, play parts of his concert "Symbiosis" and also to have a "Concert of the plants" led by Macaco Tamerice. The event was convened by Worldconnector and Earth Charter Commissioner Ruud Lubbers and was organized by NCDO in cooperation with the ECI Secretariat.
