The groundbreaking Indian Summer festival in Leicester UK featured a live Skype linkage between 16 slum children in Ahmedabad, India and an audience in Leicester’s Phoenix Center. The EKATVA project, featuring 16 slum children on a journey of art, unity and dance, all performed at the Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad on July 18, 2011. The performance was projected behind a Kathak dancer at the festival. Project Ahimsa is supporting the EKATVA project and hopes to host the children when they tour the USA in 2012.
