The 9th European Vegetarian Congress - Riccione, Italy 1/7 October

 

The 9th European Vegetarian Congress is organised under the auspices of the European Vegetarian Union (EVU). Like the European vegetarian congresses in Cervia (1985) and Bussolengo (1997), the 2005 congress will once again be organised and coordinated by the Italian Vegetarian Association.

During the congress, themes will be discussed, which are not only of interest on a national but also on a European scale, and which demonstrate vegetarianism's ability to help create a better world in which to live.

Important representatives from the world of international vegetarianism are among the list of people that have been invited, together with a number of outstanding members of society and opinion leaders.

The following topics will be addressed during the congress:
- Vegetarianism and world hunger
- Vegetarianism and animal rights: two sides of the same coin?
- Vegetarianism, sport & health
- Non violence: one of the roots of vegetarianism
- Vegetarianism, economy & sustainability for a new world
- Talking vegetarian: spreading the word about vegetarianism worldwide

The 9th European Vegetarian Congress will be held in Riccione, at the international congress centre in Le Conchiglie Hotel.

Riccione is a spa resort with a mild climate located in Emilia-Romagna in the province of Rimini, in an area of natural beauty and lush vegetation.

The congress starts on Saturday, 1 October at 10:00 and ends on Friday, 7 October after breakfast.

We look forward to seeing you there!
