Back in October OpenConcept contributed a very small amount to the World Inter-Action Mondiale film festival here in Ottawa. It's a great festival highlighting all kinds of world issues. This year's focus was on First Peoples -- First Stories.
Went to a protest last night in solidarity with the pro-democracy protesters in Burma. I was partly brought to the protest by facebook as I got a number of invites to events in the coming days with it.
'Support The Monks' Protest in Burma' - Facebook group has certainly been useful. It's been interesting to see the circulation of news items being re-posted on Facebook on this issue as people are desperate to find out what is happening in Burma. Interesting to see the celebrity involvement as Jim Carry's video pleads the case for action. Not sure why it would be beneficial to email inquiries@un.org, but there is a hope that it may get noticed.
