Moviment Graffitti is once again organising its Reclaim the World event. The theme of this edition is People before Profit, and will focus on the relevance of environment protection and sustainability, with a particular focus on the issue of climate change. This activity will be held today at Freedom Square in Valletta, between 10am and 11pm.

The morning session of the activity will be primarily aimed at increasing public awareness on environmental protection issues through public discussions and exhibitions, while in the evening there will be a live musical concert featuring the performance of a number of local artists.

Apart from Moviment Graffitti, a number of other humanitarian and environmental voluntary organisations will participate in this event with the setting up of information stands to promote their just causes, which vary from environmental protection and animal welfare, promotion of ethical and development issues such as fair trade, and promotion of fundamental rights and freedoms such as workers’ and minority rights, including LGBT issues.

Between 10am and 12pm, two public discussions will be held. The first discussion, which will be presented by Vince Caruana deals with the issue of global warming while the second one will deal with the issue of Speculation versus Sustainable Development featuring the contribution of Michael Briguglio (Zminijietna), Roderick Galdes (MLP), Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando (PN) and Harry Vassallo (AD). It will be chaired and facilitated by journalist James Debono. The musical concert will be held between 8pm – 11pm and will feature the performance of a number of different music genres, varying from folk blues to soft rock and punk rock. The local artists participating in this event are Walter Micallef, Access-to, Rage Against Society, Subculture, and Batteries Not Included.

Participation in the whole event is totally free. See you there.
