To create awareness and mobilise youth to embrace and act upon the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ put together by the UN, notable personalities, comedians and humanitarians including Nobel Peace Laureate Shri Kailash Satyarthi are coming together to put up a mega comedy show 'Comics For Change' on the 'Human Rights Day' - December 10, 2019. The comics will help start relevant social conversations amongst the youth and ignite the flame of sustainable responsibility that they will carry with them wherever they go.

I was hoping that you might be interested in doing a story on the initiative based on an interaction with Shri Satyarthi ji and Vineet J. Mehra - UN Speaker and Founding member of the Global Sustainability Network, who has conceptualised this event. Everyone is coming together on a non-commercial basis to do this event.

All the performers will be available for interaction on the day of the show from 5 PM to the event start time - 6 PM, on December 10, 2019. All artists will also be available for backstage interactions during the show, post their performances.

There will be a 'Green Sustainable Carpet' walkthrough from 5 PM onwards. The venue is the auditorium of NMIMS College at Vile Parle (W).
