Global Goal: Unite for Our Future | The Concert

Here’s how to watch the online ‘Global Goal: Unite for Our Future’ concert this weekend – wherever you are in the world.

Global Citizen is partnering with the European Commission to bring us ‘Global Goal: Unite for Our Future’ this weekend.

Part-concert, part-campaign taking place this Saturday (27 June), the event aims to raise awareness and money for the COVID-19 fallout, while calling for action around testing, treatment and vaccine research.

It will be televised and streamed online globally, and hopes to highlight the disproportionate impact coronavirus is having on disadvantaged communities — including BAME populations, people living in extreme poverty, and other communities that face discrimination.
