Here's an interesting event that came in my TED e-mail...
From the pangeaday youtube page: and pangeaday.org
In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see themselves in others -- through the power of film.
On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.
Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.
Movies can't change the world. But the people who watch them can.
On May 10, we want the whole world to be watching the Pangea Day program. Join an extraordinary community of people who are coming together to do just that by hosting an event.
You can host a Pangea Day event in your home, school, town square, or wherever you want to gather your friends, family, and community.
Visit www.pangeaday.org/events.php and plot your event on our map today! And check out our website www.pangeaday.org for more information.
For those of us in the Eastern time zone, the event is taking place at 14:00 (2:00PM) on Saturday May 10, 2008.
