Edinburgh World Justice Festival 2010, Our 5th Anniversary

The 4th Edition of the EWJF continues the legacy of the Make Poverty History and G8 alternative campaigns and picks up on the theme of building justice out of crisis.

Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development will open the festival, kickstarting what promises to be 10 days of stimulating and thought provoking events.

Festival events are suitable for everyone and are an opportunity to learn more about the causes of some of the world’s gravest problems and to explore potential solutions to them. The events are also a chance to identify actions that we can take as individuals, and as a community, to advance justice across the world. You don’t have to have any prior knowledge of the issues to join in, all of the venues are accessible and all events are free except for our festival gig on 18 May.

The range of organisations and individuals contributing to the festival, as well as the variety and quality of the events they are delivering, are testament to what can be achieved when we all work together.

We hope you can come and join us.
