10 July to 18 August 2010

Blueprint for a Better World is an interactive exhibition examining the realities of global poverty and the possibilities for change.

The travelling exhibition will be open to the visitors at the Museum of Australian Democracy from 10 July - 18 August 2010 and is presented by Caritas Australia in partnership with AusAID.

With a focus on Australia’s regional neighbours, the exhibition brings the eight Millennium Development Goals to life through visual art, photography and multimedia. The Millennium Development Goals is a global action plan, signed by 189 world leaders, to eradicate extreme poverty by 2015 by working towards eight measurable targets.

Photographs, stories and contributions such as posters, baskets and school books from Caritas local partners provide insights into communities and development programs in Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Sudan and Indigenous Australia.

Be part of one interactive aspect of the exhibition ‘Pledge Towers’, which provides an opportunity for you to write down the contribution you intend to make to ending global poverty. The pledges then become a component of the living exhibition, enhancing the reality of the positive difference one person – and indeed a community of people – can make in the world.

Through the exhibition’s interactive displays, be inspired to join the pledge to overcome global poverty and be part of a community striving to build a better world.
