Members of the media, notable personalities, and international non-profit organizations will help spread positivity during the festival.
The featured causes will include Nature & Wildlife on May 17, Education for All on May 18, Women Empowerment on May 19, Innovation for Good May 20, and All for Climate May 22.
Thirty organizations will participate in an exhibition area in Horyou Village to advance their causes by raising awareness and sharing information. Each day, multiple communications outlets will serve to promote the event and its partners through the Horyou platform, Horyou Village website, Horyou YouTube channel, along with an international group of media, corporate and cultural partners.
“The non-profit world and its initiatives will resonate in Cannes this year,” said Horyou Founder and CEO
Yonathan Parienti. “We are very happy to have non-profit organizations from our social network showcasing their contributions at Horyou Village. We invite everyone around the world and everyone present at Cannes to participate and join us in this unique initiative. This will be a special moment where diversity and culture connect for good, and cinema and art join forces at the heart of the world’s most prestigious cinematic event.”
