Some of the highlights from recent One World Centre’s initiatives will be on show at the charity’s Annual General Meeting next Wednesday 25th September.
The evening’s entertainment will begin with students from Year 10 at Castle Rushen performing a selection of poems they have written on development issues. This will be followed by a chance to view six short films (none longer than 4 minutes) created by primary school students on the theme It’s Not Fair!
Vicky Harrop will round up the night with an illustrated talk featuring some of her stunning photographs on the work of ASK (Action Saves Kids) in Bangalore. She currently has an exhibition of these pictures on show at the One World Centre Pop Up shop in Duke Street, Douglas.
The evening will also see a group of local schoolteachers receiving their Global Teacher Award certificates after successfully completing the Global Teacher training through the One World Centre.
The One World Centre exists to educate about global issues such as poverty, injustice and sustainability and to encourage a positive response. We work with young people and community groups across the Island. New members are very welcome and anyone interested in the Centre’s work is warmly invited to attend.
The AGM takes place at Green’s Cafe in St Johns. Doors open at 6.00pm. A short formal meeting will get underway 7pm with the entertainment starting around 7.20pm.
