One World Week in Cambridge

One World Week will take place in February 2004 in and around Cambridge University...Its aims are to educate people about social, environmental and cultural issues through various mediums such as talks, theatre, events, film and debates...
Although it does have a serious message, to make people more aware of social inequality and environmental concerns, it is also designed to celebrate cultural diversity...
This event is incredibly important as it tackles worldwide issues of fundamental importance. We want to encourage people to think on a more global level, to think 'outside the square they live in'. Although this event is a university-based one and whilst we do want to tackle student apathy, in line with our broad outlook we want to make this event accessible to all in the Cambridge area, both 'town and gown'...
