Blueprint for a Better World - the MDGs and You  
Date: 2nd - 20th July - 10.00am - 4.00pm each day
Venue: Prindiville Hall at The University of Notre Dame
Contact Details: 

 

It is an interactive exhibition on tackling poverty in the world. It is free of charge.

Caritas Australia is the Catholic agency for international aid and development in Australia and works with partners in Australia, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific. Caritas Australia works to address the causes of poverty and bring about long term change, by working with communities who experience poverty, injustice, hunger and oppression regardless of their religious, political or cultural beliefs.

 
Touring Exhibition: “Blueprint for a Better World – the MDGs and You”
 
Caritas Australia in partnership with the Australian Government’s aid agency, AusAID, will be exhibiting around Australia in thirty-five locations over eighteen months commencing February 2009 in Brisbane, a travelling display aimed at highlighting the Millennium Development Goals and the promise of Governments throughout the world to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.
 
The multimedia exhibition has a particular focus on development programs in Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, and Africa; gives a practical face to the eight Millennium Development Goals; Close the Gap on indigenous Australian health and the importance of achieving the MDGs in relation to health in our region. 
 
Video, photographs, visual installation as well as contributions (such as posters, baskets, school books, readers) from Caritas partner communities make up the installation. Each of the eight MDGs are presented as a blueprint for positive social change in our world highlighting how Caritas Australia and the Australian Government through AusAID are engaged in the challenge of tackling poverty for the world’s poorest.
 
The exhibition also presents a challenge for all and a call for action at all levels. If the MDGs are to be achieved, it is not just government initiative that is required. A commitment from the public is also necessary.
 
In a number of creative and technological ways within and adjacent to the exhibition space, Caritas Australia invites individuals and groups to take action: learning more about breaking the burden of poverty (workshops with speakers); by educating friends and family (You Tube video postcards); joining national and global networks (signing up to Caritas Australia campaigns run with Make Poverty History and Close the Gap alliances); pressing governments to keep promises made when the MDGs were promulgated in 2000.
 
One interactive aspect of the exhibit are the Pledge Towers, which provide an opportunity for those who view the exhibition to write down the contribution they intend to make to ending global poverty. The pledges then become a component of the living exhibition, enhancing the reality of the positive difference one person – and indeed a community of people – can make in the world.

The Man From Snowy River  
Date: 4-18 July and 25th July
Venue: Spare Parts Puppet Trhatre, 1 Short STreet Fremantle
Contact Details: 

Do you dream of a great adventure? Of thundering down a mountainside on a wild brumby? Could you be the hero of the hour? Do you hear the call of the bush…or just the sound of the loudspeaker.

…clean up in aisle 8, clean up in aisle 8, please…

Shane spends his days working in Patterson’s Supermarket, mopping up the spills, keeping an eye on the freezer section and making sure the trolleys don’t all roll away. But he dreams of a life of adventure. One day his big chance arrives – in the form of a talking bull, a snowy white mare and the promise of the ride of his life.

This is The Man from Snowy River as you’ve never imagined it with all the thrills of Banjo Patterson’s classic poem and a big meat-pie sized slice of silliness. The story of one boy finding his place in the world is brought right up to date with our own special brand of magical puppetry, shadow play and object theatre.

Adventure is waiting down the next aisle…
