In the aftermath of last month's devastating earthquake, PechaKucha Headquarters in Tokyo is planning a global initiative to raise money for the re-building effort. Many of the 400 PechaKucha cities will host a presentation on April 16th, with all proceeds going to Architecture For Humanity. A similar event last year helped raised money for the rebuilding of a school in Haiti, following a disaster there. You can find out more about their global event here: http://global-day.pecha-kucha.org/
PechaKucha Vancouver will be participating in Global PechaKucha Day, by hosting a smaller show, in their familiar 20x20 format, at the Cascade Room on Main Street.
Theme: Inspire Japan
The 20x20 presentations will be focused on 4 main themes INSPIRE, JAPAN, THE ISSUES, RECOVERY. They could be simply about things that inspire us, or Japan how it has inspired you. Great ideas or solutions that help deal with the issues at hand whether earthquake, tsunami or nuclear - and the road to recovery.
