BRAC CHAIRMAN FAZLE HASAN ABED VISIT CITIZEN RIGHTS FAIR,SUN STALL.Dated on : February 20.2010
The concept of Nagorik Mela (Citizenship Fair) is to hold a fair on the idea of citizenship in a broad sense and from different angles. It is to be a concerted effort of various NGOs and other civil society organizations working for the rights of people directly or indirectly, who can showcase their ideas, programmes, products through demonstrations, talks, films/ documentary, theatre, cultural programmes, photography exhibition, etc. It can be both a platform for advocacy of their organizational programmes/ perspectives and a catalyst for different organizations to work together on an issue that all organizations in some way or other are addressing through their work. Thus it could include organizations like Grameen Bank, NGOs like BRAC, Proshika, Nijera Kori,SUN, human rights agencies like Ain-O-Shalish Kendra, BLAST, cultural organizations like Rupantar, associations who promote rights of ethnic groups through sale of their handicrafts, etc. We envision colourful festivity with stalls selling products from these different orgs, food, theatre and music performance, video showings, etc.
