Moviment Graffiti is once again organizing its annual ‘Reclaim the World’event this coming Saturday October 18th in Freedom Square, Valletta. The event includes a number of discussions, stalls by NGOs and a rock concert.

Reclaim the World is an activity which Moviment Graffitti annually organises to raise awareness on global issues such as poverty, exploitation and environmental destruction.

“Its aim is to show that because of the present political and economical world-system, few corporations and big interests are making huge profits at the expense of the majority of the persons in the world. However our main message is that another world is possible, only if we fight our battles for equality and social justice.” Graffiti said in a statement.

Reclaim the World will take place in Freedom Square Valletta on Saturday 18th October starting from 10am. It will consist of:

Two Panel Discussions

10am: Globalisation and Work A debate on the effects of globalisation on local economies and workers’ rights.
