Experience an unforgettable evening at the MAC as voices for Gaza take centre stage.
This powerful speaking event offers a rare chance to hear first-hand stories of resilience, hope, and humanity from a community too often spoken about rather than with. Through personal testimony, reflection, and cultural expression, our guest speakers will illuminate the lived reality of Gaza today while celebrating the strength and spirit of its people. Listen to Gazan survivors and international volunteers who can testify to the genocide occurring there. Every ticket directly supports IDEALS Medical Charity, helping deliver vital medical aid, training, and rehabilitation to those most in need.
Join us to stand in solidarity, deepen understanding, and contribute to life-saving work. Be part of a night that inspires empathy, sparks dialogue and makes a meaningful difference.
Featuring a special performance from Worldwide Premier Irish Dance Company, Unity Irish Dance.
