GIVE ‘EM HOPE INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL – ORGANISE ONE IN YOUR AREA

NBI Associates, in association with the Give ‘em Hope Campaign, invite individuals and groups worldwide to devise, plan, coordinate, market and promote a Pro-Equality Music and Arts FESTIVAL (Performance date: April 2012) which involves a range of performers and artists from their local area.

These simultaneous Festivals are aimed at a broad audience and should include a variety of musical styles and types of performance.

The theme is, Tackling the “isms” Creatively” so all participants should be encouraged to offer music and artistic work which comments upon sexism, racism, disablism, ageism, homophobia and transphobia or any other area not listed here where people may experience prejudice, bullying or limiting labelling.    The aim of this event is to raise awareness of local and or national charity organisations and to communicate a message of social equality and a commitment to community cohesion.

The success of this event is reliant upon careful and thorough project planning. This takes time and effort and a basic checklist, to help you with your planning, includes consideration of: Venue, Accessibility, Facilities, Health & Safety, Insurance, Performers/Speakers/Guests, Equipment, Costs & Budgets, Publicity.

Contact David E Watters (Coordinator of the Give ‘em Hope Campaign) at DavidWatters@nbiassociates.co.uk to express an interest in organising an event in your area.

You can gather some friends in a single room or find a charitable venue who can lend you their space. Perhaps ask your school, college or workplace to stage an event. It’s all about supporting your choice of local and national charities and promoting community cohesion. There are no limits and no huge demands – this event is YOUR event.  MAKE IT WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE!
