Description of the project

For the fourth consecutive year IBO Italia is guest of the Ferrara Buskers Festival for the solidarity. After the 2012 edition for which IBO Italy collaborated to support the some villages of the area interested by earthquake of 20 and 29 may 2012, also for 2013 strengths are united for collaborating to collect founds to support the voluntary sector and the youth mobility.

It is born so the idea of a new workcamp to involve actively a group of volunteers to support this project.

The Ferrara Buskers Festival, with its 800.000 spectators, is the biggest event in the world dedicated to the art of the street. It was founded in 1988 with the aim of enhancing the role of street musicians and to get to know a city rich in history and charm – objectives which have been fully accomplished.

For many spectators from all over Italy and, significantly, even from abroad, the Festival is an exciting tour around the world in search of familiar and exotic sounds; it’s a passionate-treasure-hunt to discover the most original instruments, the most inspired performances and the most fanciful costumes. It is, above all, an endless mobile jamboree, that moves in a thousand directions, able to reserve surprises at every corner: a river of joy, of hints and amazement, that invades the streets and squares of one of the most beautiful city centres of Italy.

The protagonists of the Festival are the buskers themselves; travelling artists who, in their daily activities, try to give some good humour and poetry to passers-by. The extent of their being appreciated lies in the ability to win the attention of a yet-to-be audience. To get them drop a token in the “hat”(in Euros, dollars or pounds). The Busker’s money-exchange office is always open.

Every year, from the third edition - the festival is devoted to a nation guest from which the greatest part of the 20 invited groups come. To these ones they are added accredited groups that participate to own expenses and according to the selection they can perform only for a day.

Any artist receives cachet but only the offers of the public in the hat. The shows follows the principle of the rotation, varying the position of the groups every day.

From 2011 the organization is involved in the project Ecofestival to reduce to the least one the wastes and to also fix elevated standard around the respect of the environment for events of wide course. Diversified harvesting of paper, plastics and aluminum during the event. Bureau Veritas has certified the results of the project.

Moreover this, the Ferrara Buskers Festival wants to be also a great moment of solidarity sustaining the training and to the values of voluntary world, to the youth mobility and the intercultural world, to the active citizen to ideally unite Ferrara to Italy and the whole world.
