"On October 10, 2010 (10.10.10), across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their voice to the largest participatory media event in history.
Founded in 2008, ONE DAY ON EARTH is creating an online community, shared archive, and film. Together, we will showcase the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occur in one day. We invite you to join our international community of thousands of filmmakers, hundreds of schools, and dozens of non-profits, and contribute to this unique global mosaic. Through the One Day on Earth platform, we will establish a community that not only watches, but participates."
*** It is a social network, it is both film and photography based, and for some, may be worth doing only once a year. That said, it looks pretty cool. ***
@dmortega it may be possible to do a slide show. I've been looking for that as well, but figure there are some here who do both film and photography. :) Thank you for taking a look, and if you find something regarding photography submissions, please post. :)
@dmortega Nope. Cyprus isn't generally a poor country - flashy cars, big houses, brands everywhere. I have seen maybe a handful of homeless people - the poorest are the students, probably, who come to work over the summer. As for medical care - anyone earning under €700-ish per month is eligible for free healthcare, if I'm not mistaken. But then €850 is minimum wage so yeah. And anyone earning under €1,200-ish gets medical at a discount.
@dmortega For sure! It's ironic because I'm so used to South Africa, which is the complete opposite of Cyprus.
Found this: "The people of the Greek zone are among the most affluent in the world. According to the World Bank's Development Report, Cyprus is ranked 16th in terms of per capita income adjusted for purchasing power."
@dmortega Not that I'm aware of - I suppose we must, but nothing common enough for me to know. Besides, the site says it doesn't have to all be grim... I'm more likely to get something more cheerful
@indiannie_jones --- well it sounds like you will be learning something about your area through this little project. I suppose many of us will also learn something. I look forward to see what you post on 10/10/10. :-)

@indiannie_jones Yes, it did mention showcasing "diversity....and triumphs" too. I don't think it has to be grim but more educational. I'm glad you are going to give it a try.
