Global Bersih Outreach Outreach to European Cities
Organised Outreach Video calls
Global Bersih Secretary, Bala Chelliah visited Global Bersih Paris and Global Bersih Netherlands in February to help promote Global Bersih to local city supporters, and also assist in determining activities that the cities can undertake to galvanise interest and participation. Both cities welcomed the support, and an ongoing dialogue has been established with the Global Bersih Secretariat in Geneva.
Global Bersih reached out to city coordinators and to keep them informed and engaged via video calls with Bersih 2.0 Chairperson, Maria Chin Abdullah and our patron, Ambiga Sreenevasan. These video call events were well attended and appreciated by city coordinators. The Secretariat is looking to hold such events regularly and expanding the pool of speakers or guests to cultivate awareness and knowledge of electoral issues and advocacy in Malaysia.
A meeting with Jordan of Bersih Perth was held in there in March where Global Bersih explored how to reach out and engage with local students.
