SPEAK! ST. PETE - A CELEBRATION OF UN INTERNATIONAL DAYS

SPEAK! ST. PETE – A Celebration of United Nations International Days is a highly-visible programming series developed to confront and deconstruct worldwide social issues while inspiring public dialogue throughout the City and beyond.

SPEAK! ST. PETE, supported by the United Nations Environment Programme, is a celebration of United Nations International Days. The series launches with four programs, each commemorating important United Nations supported International Days: World Water Day on March 22, Earth Day on April 21, Biological Diversity Day on May 22, and World Environment Day and World Ocean Day, June 5th through 8th.

Each program consists of accessible and entertaining events that stimulate public dialogue and raise awareness through critically acclaimed films, nationally recognized lecturers, stimulating panel discussions, live webcasts, and cultural performances. Visit our Events Schedule for a detailed description of SPEAK! ST. PETE events.
