Events to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights

Human Rights Digital Film Competition
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the International Declaration on Human Rights, the NSW Charter Group is launching a competition for the best film under two minutes that illustrates why Australia needs human rights protection. Several organisations have already donated cash prizes. The larger the prize the more entrants we can attract. Please contact Brenda (brenda@piac.asn.au) if you would like to contribute to the pool or sponsor a prize for a specific target group (for example a prize for young entrants under 18). More information on how to enter will follow.

PIAC is meeting with several community interagency forums over the next two months to talk about preparing submissions on human rights. The session takes about half an hour. If you would like to book the session for your next meeting, please call 8898 6522 for more details.
