On Thursday 25 March 2010, people in hundreds of cities around the world, including Dublin will come together offline to rally around the important cause of Education by hosting local events to have fun and create awareness.  Twestival™ (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good.  All of the local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.

The difference between the twestival and a usual “tweet-up” (meet-up) is that this will raise money for charity. The Twestival will provide a chance for “tweeple” to meet “twiends” in person. However “twebies” (twitter newcomers) in particular are advised to follow “twittiquette”.

Twestival was started in London last year by the local twitter community which decided to expand it into a global event for 2009.
