CONFETTI Screening on 16th of Jun
There was no better place to launch the latest phase in the groundbreaking CONFETTI Movement than with a VIP event on the historic Magna Carta Island.
On June 16, politicians, industry leaders, academics, and the first team of UK CONFETTI Hosts gathered to launch the 1000 UK Confetti Movement.
The screening of CONFETTI was followed by a fantastic and thought-provoking Q&A which highlighted the need for this movement in the UK: spreading awareness about dyslexia and the ways that people can support those with learning difficulties.
We were honored that Dr John Stein – emeritus Professor of Neuroscience, Dept. Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics and Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford – delivered opening remarks before the screening.
Attendees of the event were greatly moved by the film and pledged their support to furthering the power of CONFETTI throughout the UK!
UKIIC Director and UK CONFETTI Ambassador Professor Yu Xiong has been working tirelessly to kickstart the UK CONFETTI 1000 Screenings Movements.
