involvement with the United Nations Development Programme.

Brief presentations on the 2009 Parliament of the World’s

Religions and Amnesty International’s Darfur Campaign will

reconciliation internationally and in your own backyard!

This event will feature an interactive art exhibit, Displaced, a

traveling installation that will guide you through four themed

refugee experiences: Conflict in Darfur, Flight and Displacement,

Life in a Displacement Camp, and Toward a Solution. Placards,

photographs, maps and handouts form the core content of

each theme.

You will have the chance to make your voice heard through

participating in the LIVE QUESTIONS CAMPAIGN BOOTH hosted

by FLASHPOINT The Academy of Media Arts and Sciences

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to discover what

other activist groups are doing about pressing social concerns

in their communities. Bring a friend, bring your class, but most

importantly, bring yourself to this exciting and interactive event.
