Mandela8 are delighted to partner with Inclusive companies to deliver a webinar focusing on the My67 Minutes Programme.
This webinar will provide you with an overview of the My67 Minutes programme established by Mandela8 and what it entails. Nelson Mandela spent 67 years supporting social justice and human rights before he passed the baton to others on his 90th Birthday , 18th July, now officially named Mandela Day, asking them to spend 67 minutes of their time to do an act of kindness for someone else. The ‘My 67 Minutes’ campaign encourages everyone to take 67 minutes out of their day – one minute for every year that Mandela fought for human rights and social justice – to do something for someone else or for their community.
We want to see thousands of individual acts of kindness all across the world, ideally on Mandela Day – Sunday 18th July, or in the week leading up to Mandela Day itself.
During this session, Sonia Bassey MBE, Mandela8 Chair, and Dawn Morris, Mandela8 Trustee, will share how you, your organisation or your communities can get involved. There will also be the opportunity for Q&A from the audience as we explore ideas to celebrate this commemorative occasion.
