Activities

Organise an equal day with your group/club/school/class and join us and others like you on 20th of March.
This “equal day” may be a big event like a star party, or small like an activity with your class, up to you.

This event should consist of:

A mandatory activity (choose one or more of the following activities: Creative photography, a Message of peace or Zoom meeting).
