Fringe

As an internationally recognised event, the 2012 Global Atheist Convention promises to generate a ground-swell of enthusiastic support for rational thoughts and ideals. On this occasion, thousands of free thinking individuals will descend upon Melbourne from all over Australia and the world. This will provide an excellent opportunity for local atheist, humanist and secular organisations to host their own gatherings to help build community and provide a rallying point for like-minded individuals.Suggested events include debates, community forums, workshops, panel discussions, social events and artistic performances to be held before or after the Convention.
