Nokia and Pangea Day uniting the world through the power of films
Pangea Day is a global day of films, music and speakers that will be held simultaneously on May 10, 2008 in gathering places around the world. Inspired by the 2006 TED Prize wish of Jehane Noujaim, Pangea Day endeavors to bring the world together and promote understanding and tolerance. Pangea Day is a celebration of what unites us, rather than what divides us, via films made by the world for the world.
On May 10th, millions of people all over the world will come together to watch a 4-hour program of short films, coupled with talks from CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and Queen Noor of Jordan, and with special musical guests. Through the Friends of Pangea Day page, anyone, anywhere can sign up and host their own Pangea Day event or attend an event in their local community.
Nokia actively supports the Pangea Day mission by connecting people across the globe. Through the power of mobile technology, Nokia gives people a voice as well as platforms to communicate and share every day.
