... UNITED NATIONS BRINGS E450 000 FIRE TO MTN BUSHFIRE

MALKERNS – The UN will be supporting this year’s Bring Your Fire Zone with E450 000.

This sponsorship was also announced during the launch which was held yesterday at House On Fire. #BRINGYOURFIRE is MTN Bushfire’s inspiring call to action that encourages the proactive contribution of the individuals towards addressing pertinent social and environmental issues. Your fire is your energy, your spirit, your passion, and your drive to make a tangible difference!

MTN Bushfire will take place from May 26 to 28th, 2023 and the #BRINGYOURFIRE mandate guides the festival’s conscious and continuous efforts to challenge discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality or religion, and encourage an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Energising this call to action, MTN Bushfire resolutely uses its creative platforms to engage with a range of social issues, through the festival’s carefully curated programme streams, zones and activations.

Before the festival weekend, the #BRINGYOURFIRE mandate will commence with a public discussion forum on pertinent issues in society today. The live dialogues will be hosted on MTN Bushfire Twitter space and will be advertised on all MTN Bushfire social media platforms. This year, the Bring Your Fire Zone as supported by UN Eswatini, has stepped up its game in honour of the 75th anniversary of the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights.

The UDHR 75 campaign aims to empower rights holders and to promote change.  MTN Bushfire is proud to be aligned to these goals and specifically to Article 19, freedom of expression, and Article 27, the right to participate in cultural life and enjoy the arts. According to Senior Human Rights Advisor Laila Nazarali, this is an ideal partnership for the UN. ‘‘This is an ideal space to partner as the Bring Your Fire Zone is a space for the conscious celebration of unity in diversity and an inspiring emblem of social inclusion, illuminating the transformational power of events through its call to action for positive social and environmental change.”
