The Millennium Development Goals (MDG), agreed by the United Nations in 2000, comprise eight targets to be reached by 2015. If achieved, these targets will make a serious impact on solving global poverty. Join us just a few weeks after the MDG review summit in New York to find out more - using Pecha Kucha.
Pecha Kucha is a Japanese presentation style, during which 8 expert presenters will show 20 slides and speak for 20 seconds about each slide, informing us how close we are to reaching each of the 8 targets - or how far we are from them.
Hosting the evening will be Madeliene Bunting, associate editor of the Guardian, who writes on a regular basis about the newspaper's Katine project in Uganda.
