Global Water Awareness Campaign

Join us at our 2nd Annual Social Change Film Festival & Institute!

Our 2012 theme is Global Water Crisis: Challenges & Solutions. In addition to an exciting film festival and institute in November 2012 in New Orleans we are kicking off the SCFFI Global Water Awareness Campaign with a video contest for young people across the globe and a Water Symposium in Silicon Valley on November 5th. From late October 2011 through May 2012 SCFFI & partners present online activities and events at stellar venues where sponsors will be promoted over a seven month period as a campaign to raise awareness and inspire action.
