20. Better World Fairs, Festivals & Assemblies

"When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined." -- Bono

Organizing a Better World Assembly at a local school or a Better World Fair at a school, community center or place of worship is a community-building experience. Your Better World Club can invite organizations that are working for change to participate with a booth or activity. A Better World Fair spreads the message that WE WANT A BETTER WORLD but it can also be fun, with music, games, and arts & crafts.

The preparations to create your Better World Fair provide an opportunity for free newspaper, radio and television coverage, so that your message of CELEBRATING FOR A BETTER WORLD will be shared and spread. A Better World Fair can also raise money for a local charity or a national organization that is helping to make the world a better place.

Preparing for a better world festival also promotes creativity and expression as ways to share a wonderful message. A contest in schools can encourage children to write and draw about what creating a better world means to them. Putting their works on display gives the children, their parents and the community a feeling of pride. Artists, musicians and artisans will be encouraged to focus their creative efforts to create works that promote peace, compassion, justice and equality.
