We are Burma is an event that will bring together thinkers, politicians, artists, media and social entrepreneurs to encourage individuals in their own small way to take responsibility for the situation in Burma. The dual purpose of the evening is to bring attention to the Burma situation among European circles and to highlight the work being done in the field by small and medium NGO’s who risk their lives delivering cross border aid, relief, health services and educational programs inside Burma. Our special focus will be those projects, which are engaged in delivering education services to these knowledge-starved populations. The event will showcase popular local performers and keynote addresses from Burma experts and will also premiere several short videos. This combination of entertainment and of learning more about the situation in Burma will culminate in an invitation to get involved and help. We will also be highlighting the upcoming elections in 2010 and encouraging European politicians to get involved actively so as to elevate this process.
The event is a joint effort of :
