EVENTS
8 cities; 3 continents; 1 reason:
Supporting the Global Call to Action against Poverty.
The parties in each location aim at giving partiers a great night whilst bringing awareness to those attending about the GCAP, it’s aims and the role that we can all play in Making Poverty History.
Each party’s music and dance is a celebration of the people who are there and so each parties music is different whilst the message is the same: we must unite to eradicate extreme, man-made poverty.
As the sun sets in each location, the parties begin in the hope that we are at the dawn of the era that will see an end to man-made poverty. Each venue will share images of partiers through photos of the parties being transmitted between each venue and films and photos that carry the messages of Debt Cancellation, More and Better Aid, and Trade Justice.
