Cambridge, 5–10 July 2009
2009 sees the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal work ‘On the origin of Species’.
You are warmly invited to attend a celebration to mark these two anniversaries. Who is the Festival for?
The Festival is aimed at a broad audience. We should like to attract members of the public, school students (16+), undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and other professionals as well as academics and specialists. What we are offering?
A festival of the science, society, literature, history, philosophy, theology, art and music arising from the work, writings, life and times of Charles Darwin. How we shall do it?
Leading figures in science and the arts will come face to face with each other and the public. There will be talks, discussions, performances, workshops, exhibitions and tours; some formal, others relaxed, all bound in a festival atmosphere in and around the historic city of Cambridge. Why we are doing it?
To excite, enthuse and explore the past, present and future of the natural world. To cultivate a deeper interest and understanding in science and the arts.
