Twestival Beirut Amman 2010

24.03.2010

On Thursday 25 March 2010, people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together offline to rally around the important cause of Education by hosting local events to have fun and create awareness. Twestival™ (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good.

Each city and school hosting a Twestival will be given the opportunity to select an area of education to support for fundraising to go towards Concern’s education programs. This will be recognized with a special icon on their website once they have set a goal.

The Lebanese and Jordanian joint Twestival will take place at the ArabNet conference, the premiere international conference about the web industry that is being staged on that same day in Beirut. Since most of the active “tweeps” in both countries will be attending the conference, it was decided to create a joint Twestival on the first day of the conference, which happens to be on March 25^th , coinciding with the Global Twestival.

Naeema Zarif, Meen The Band , Lara Zankoul and Maya Zankoul have all prepared some special surprises to support Twestival Beirut Amman’s cause of helping girl’s education through donating all ticket sales to Concern International. Oh, and ArabNetMe will be giving out 3 FREE tickets to March 26th ArabNetConference Panels! Tickets will be sold at the door for 10$.

Much more surprises will follow... to keep track check the official Twestival Beirut Website
