Human Rights Concert

Amnesty Region Vest invites you to a concert which is organised on the occasion of Amnesty International’s “Small Places Tour”

Published: November 12, 2008

When: Thursday, 27. November 2008
To: Thursday, 27. November 2008
Where: Bergen, Garage
Host: Amnesty Region Vest

Amnesty International marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the ‘Small Places Tour’. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s call for ‘concerted citizen action’ in her famous “small places” speech in 1958, musicians and fans will raise their voices in song and action in venues, cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces.

Through hundreds of concerts held around the world, we will draw attention to urgent human rights concerns, recruit thousands of new human rights activists and, hopefully, raise much needed funds for Amnesty campaigns.

The Small Places Tour is Amnesty International’s most ambitious global music and human rights project since the Human Rights Now! Tour in 1988, and features over 700 concerts around the globe between September 10th and December 10th (Human Rights Day).

For more information, please have a look at the Small Places Tour-website.
