A Twestival or Twitter-Festival is a global series of events organized by volunteers
around the world under short timescales, which bring people offline for a great 
cause.

 

Twestival is run 100% by volunteers and independently from any not-for-profit; although
the organizing teams do work closely to outline an achievable and measurable fundraising
target.

Twestival also sets out to identify key skills of volunteers and match these with
the needs of the cause; particularly communications strategy, tech integration and
social media training.

 

Twestival Local takes place in cities around the world : 10-13 September 2009.
