FOLLOWING the launching of its Harmony Educational Campaign to promote harmony and good relations across Guyana, the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) also launched its play titled “I AM US” featuring local artistes.

“I AM US” speaks to unity and examines some of the societal factors that impact on social cohesion.

The play, which will feature prominent Guyanese actors and actresses, will be staged on March 2 with a gala opening and continues on March 3, at the National Cultural Centre. Both performances will commence at 19:00hrs and admission will be free.

The commission firmly believes this campaign, which is in keeping with its constitutional mandate to promote harmony and good relations, is vital in helping to enhance the environment to foster unity among all Guyanese.

It remains optimistic that Guyanese will find useful, the materials which will be made available and will be conduits to aid distribution countrywide.

The commission has extended invitations to the government, the opposition, the Diplomatic Corps, civil society, the media and other national stakeholders.

A national unity song performed by Guyanese artistes, Mark Ferdinand and Tishanna Cort; five harmony-themed public service announcements; four posters; a harmony “passport”; designs for two billboards and the commission’s new website were all presented at the launching which took place at the Grand Savannah Suite, Pegasus, Georgetown.
