International Gold Event 2008

MAD on 111108

Posted by: Amir on: 8 November 2008

The IGE may be over, but delegates around the world are still making a difference.

Over on Facebook, a special event called 111108 MAD encourages delegates to make a difference on 11 November this year (and other days, of course, but specifically on that day) to put the issues discussed at the IGE into action.

Here’s a description, straight from the event page on Facebook:

The idea is to DO SOMETHING, as long as:

1. It is related to the award philosophy (open interpretation)

2. it Makes A Difference (MAD) – to you, those closely around you or the society at large – any difference. (e.g if you think running up and down the stairs of the highest building of the country will make a difference – then go for it).

3. Connects people – You idea should connect people (even 2 counts) in anyway you think appropriate.

4. Tell the story – Tell the story of what you did – make a small video, post photos, write a story and post it on this space or anywhere else – the bigger the story – the more people know about it – the more influence it has on people.

We’ll keep you posted as to what the delegates are up to and the stories they have to tell. If you want to participate in 111108 MAD, check out the Facebook event page for more information and discussion.
