Happy Pangea Day!
May 10, 2008
In case you haven’t heard about it yet, there’s an exciting experiment going on around the world today.
It’s called Pangea day, and the idea is that by sharing this experience around the world, we can all learn about each other’s cultures.
Locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.
The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from an international competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over one hundred countries. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes. Details on the Pangea Day films can be viewed here.
The program will also include a number of exceptional speakers and musical performers. Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof, and Iranian rock phenom Hypernova are among those taking part.
It starts at 18:00 GMT (11 PDT) and you can find out lots more here:http://www.pangeaday.org/
