What is ‘Vision’?
This is your invitation to reflect
on a great year and look forward to the next 100!
The Centenary Celebrations will end at 8.10pm on 20 October 2010
– 20:10 20/10 2010.
The aim of Vision is to bring all members of Girlguiding UK
together to share one moment in time. A time for reflection on
the fun of the last year, what the Promise means to each of us, and
to explore our hopes and dreams for the future.
Information for those organising Vision events can be found by
reading the following:
Looking to the future
In October 2010, Guides from around
the world will come together at the Young
Women’s World Forum to discuss the Millennium Development Goals
and their vision for the future.
The start of the next 100 years of
guiding is a chance for members across the UK to think about their
vision for the future – whether that vision is for them personally,
their unit, their community, the UK or for the world. Girls may
wish to take this further and to make a pledge for change.
Activity suggestions to develop these ideas are featured in
the Autumn 2010 edition of guiding magazine.
Who, What, When?
Vision events can be organised at any level, we hope that
all members of all sections will be able to get together as a Unit,
Group, District, Division, or maybe even a County.
There will be a party at Heythrop Park, Oxford organised for the
delegates attending the Young Women’s World Forum, which will be
the focus for the Girlguiding UK celebrations. This event will
broadcast the Chief Guide and guiding members from around the globe
renewing their commitment to guiding. It is hoped that everyone
will have the opportunity to watch this broadcast at the 20:10
moment using technology available in meeting places or in
their own homes.
Vision has its own key themes, these are:
- Review - the Centenary
year, eg using a special DVD and local footage.
- Rediscover - the worldwide dimension of
guiding.
- Record - for posterity
everyone who took part in the Centenary year.
- Reaffirm - or make the Promise, or make a
commitment to guiding, at 8.10pm on 20 October 2010.
- Reignite - our enthusiasm for guiding and our
hopes and aspirations for the future.
Important information
Balloon Releases
Environmentally, balloon releases do a lot of damage and can
affect farming and marine habitats in an adverse way. If you have
already planned to hold a large balloon release we would advise you
to ensure that the balloons are bio-degradable and ask that you do
not attach string, ribbon or tags to the balloons. We would
strongly recommend that this type of spectacle is avoided if at all
possible in your future plans.
Sky Lanterns / Chinese Lanterns
These, like balloons, eventually fall to the ground and can
cause considerable harm to wild life and the environment. The wire
element of the lantern in particular could kill any animal that
eats it and causes damage to farm machinery. We would strongly
recommend that this type of spectacle is avoided if at all possible
in your future plans.
Information from the NFU (National Farmers Union) is available
here.
