LOG IN TO POSTER FOR TOMORROW

It was a great day for tomorrow
We're not used to boast our achievements, and indeed this note doesn't intend to do so, but please let us share with all of you our joy and happiness in seeing the closing of a very special day: our first day for tomorrow.
Despite the difficulties and the inevitable shortcomings which we became familiar with as we were running this project, for us it was a success. That's because many of the 30 exhibitions we managed to get organised around the world, are in countries which are seldom part of the graphic design discourse. For this reason, we hope to have started a dialogue that will continue in the future to include new players in an industry that is in dire need to redefine its scope and ambitions.
Moreover, we were able to shed some light on a topic such as the Right to Education. There's a strong need for us to be aware of this problem and its consequences, which limits people's potential in the South as well as in the North of the world.
Our wish is that the posters that we collected in the exhibitions and the book will fuel debate - hopefully not only within the graphic design circle, but in civil society as a whole.
In the next few days we'll try to share with you what we achieved today by pictures and more so please keep tuned!

Happy International Democracy Day!
Today 15th September has been declared International Democracy Day by the UN. No other day would be better for us to announce that Poster for Tomorrow is going to launch a new project: “Draw me Democracy!”, with the financial support of UNDEF, the United Nations Democracy Fund.
This challenging project will span over two years and involve a number of countries around the world, from Latin America to Africa to Asia. It's one of the very few global projects that the UNDEF has ever financed since its foundation. To accomplish its ambitious objectives, the project has been funded for a total of 175.000 USD.
In these countries, we're going to run 12 workshops with the aim of empowering designers and civil society organisations by developing their communication skills.
To read all about the project, please download one of the press release PDFs below, available in a number of languages.

Gearing up for 10/10/10
With only just over a month to go, we are announcing our program for 10/10/10, the World Day against the Death Penalty and we're doing it with style using the poster that Alain Le Quernec has made for us. Please spread the love.
We have already confirmed exhibitions in New York, Paris, Brussels, Geneva, London, Sao Paolo, Beirut, Seoul and more than 30 other cities. You can see the complete list of the locations in our official press release. We’d like to thank the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament for their help in putting these all together.
We’re still looking for further locations; if you’re interested please get in touch.
There are many other updates about the petition from the Community of Sant’Egidio and the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty that we're relaunching, on our exhibitions and music events and on how you can take part of it. If you're interested to know the details, we advise you to read the full press release pdf, which is available in other languages too. Look for the "latest press release" box on the left side of the screen.
The founding premise of poster for tomorrow is that we have strength in numbers. From today we hope to make that a stronger proposition by inviting you to become a member of poster for tomorrow. The more members we have, the more weight we have when talking to institutions, charities, governments, anyone and everyone. And the more we can get done.
For thirty euros a year you receive a copy of catalogue and a range of discounts from our sponsors. But more importantly you’ll be helping ensure that we can carry on our work and keep on raising issues that matter in the public eye. Log in and find more details in your account page.
