How To Take Part

Host an Event > About Being A Host

On May 10, thousands of people worldwide will host local Friends of Pangea Day events. They'll be held in homes, schools and offices; backyards and a Bedouin camp; movie theaters and public beaches ... anywhere people can gather. It will be the first global campfire, harnessing the power of new technologies to bring people together through film.

More than 1,000 events are being planned so far. A sampling:
