11 Eleven Project
On 11/11/11, humanity will be invited to participate in the largest collaborative storytelling event in human history. On this auspicious day, anyone in the world who has access to any recording device will be asked to capture their lives through film, photography, music, soundand text. It’s quintessentially “a day in the life of the world” told by the people of earth.

Post the date, participants will submit their creations to the 11Eleven Project team, who will then filter and curate the work and turn it into a few different projects, including a book series,world music collection and a documentary film. The narrative of the project will be guided by 11key topics given to participants to inspire their creativity.

All the profits raised from the project will go to supporting charities aligned with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals – these charities include the World Wildlife Fund, The Hunger Project, Save The Children, Global Voices, Hamlin Fistula and Opportunity International.

Currently the 11Eleven Project is available in multiple languages, with traction in over 150 countries and holds partnerships with more than 13 educational institutions. The entire projectis being run through volunteer passion, bringing people from all walks of life together, to unite the world on 11/11/11.
