Children of the Gulf War
WILPF Australian Tour Project
Inviting Expressions of Interest to hold the exhibition
Because the Children of the Gulf War is a current and very relevant topic for many Australians, Expressions of Interest to hold the exhibition are sought from community groups, local councils, government agencies, galleries, libraries and any other interested parties concerned about peace and effect of uranium weapons on the environment, on civilians and on military personnel.
Through this tour, WILPF aims to raise awareness about these issues,
and to encourage networking among local peace groups, councils and community
groups to further the goal of world peace.
Wide promotion of the exhibition and its information, and collaboration with local groups will be crucial in achieving these goals.
The Project Description (rtf file/40KB) provides details of the exhibition and costs. Please read this carefully before responding to the selection criteria.
