Fez Festival & Passion for the Planet

Passion for the Planet is a British radio station that aims to be a mainstream global champion of ethical living.

For the second year running, Passion has been chosen as the exclusive UK media partner for the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music. They'll be in Fez to record speakers at the Fes Meetings for broadcasting later in the year. And yes, they are passionate about what they're doing:

'The Fes Festival is a magical event - music from all over the world in stunning settings,' says Chantal, one of the directors.

'Just imagine listening to music as the sun sets, surrounded by the majesty of the Bab Makina palace courtyard, or dancing with Sufi mystics by candlelight in the early hours, or sitting in the shade of an ancient oak tree listening to leading thinkers of the 21st century, and then lunching in the hustle and bustle of the Fez medina, chatting with locals and soaking up the sounds and smells of the souks.'

What does a radio station have to do with ethical living? Chantal explains that Passion for the Planet's mission is to provide the information necessary to make those choices, and to deliver that information in an attractive, inspiring, intriguing and entertaining package. It's built on two beliefs:

- health and environment is the new rock & roll
- man doesn't live by locally sourced, ethically produced, organic bread alone, we still need the rock & roll.

And, you'll be pleased to note, 'there's no preaching, no chanting, no tips on knitting your own muesli.'

In the UK, you can listen on DAB digital radio and online at www.passionfortheplanet.com.
