Global and local focus for launch

THE Just Festival has launched its ambitious 2013 programme in Edinburgh, with a challenge to build bridges and break down barriers between communities, globally and locally.

The festival, which will run from 2 - 26 August this year, will feature some 129 events in 450 performances across 28 venues, and will attract tens of thousands of visitors and participants.

It is reckoned to be the largest intercultural event of its kind in Britain, with backing from civic, religious, secular, educational and charitable partners. More here.
