Twestival was
born out of the idea that if cities were able to collaborate on an
international scale, but work from a local level, it could have a
spectacular impact. While Twestival Global put the spotlight around
one cause on a single day, Twestival Local is getting back to its
roots and encouraging cities around the world to host events in
support a local cause on one day during the weekend of 10-13
September 2009.
100% of the
proceeds from these events will go direct to the local
not-for-profit selected. Everyone involved with Twestival is a
volunteer. Cities are asked to set a fundraising goal for
their event, but it is much more than reaching a financial
target. Twestival Local is a fantastic opportunity to connect
with people in your community. The aim is to give people a
chance to feel they are contributing to a larger social initiative,
but bring the cause a little closer to home.
