October 17: International Day For Poverty Eradication

The National Platform of Maltese NGDOs, in collaboration with STOPoverty! KOPIN and Global Action Schools organised the first MDG day conference in Malta. The event hosted a number of academics, school schildren, diplomats, members of parliaments, representatives of different NGOs and faith-based groups to discuss the Millenium Development Goals and the way forward.

For this event GCAP Malta also promoted the "Stand Up Speak Out" activity which brought together 15,948 people standing up and speaking out against poverty and inequality between the 16th and early 18th October. The majority of people taking part in the actions were from schools including pupils and children, however a number of other groups also performed a stand-up.

This was the first time for the National Platform to set-up such an event and they were very pleased with the outcome. They definitely hope to have the opportunity to organise something of this sort next year!
