Action for Southern Africa is encouraging local groups to run events throughout the year to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 90th year and focus on the achievements, opportunities and challenges of the movement for development, justice and rights for southern Africa.

Whether you are a school, a Church or faith group, a campaigning organisation or a trade union branch there are many simple and effective activities you can organise to mark the occassion.

ACTSA has produced this handy guide to Running an Event for Nelson Mandela at 90 to help you organise your activity.

We'll also provide you with advice and promote your event online. Email us to tell us about your plans.
