META VOLUNTEER PARTY: “CHANGING THE WORLD ON VACATION”

Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life, but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others and to have fun.
Daniela Kon's debut documentary CHANGING THE WORLD ON VACATION: NGO VOLUNTEERS AND THE POLITICS OF COMPASSION (2008, 87 mins) is inspired by her own experiences volunteering with NGO's in Thailand, India, and Cambodia.
She investigates the moral complexity of development work and the personal and political boundaries of sustainability.
Not only volunteers are invited tonight for our "Volunteer Party" with DJ after screening. Free Admission!
