The Synergy Project
Friday, 28th April 2006
SEOne Club London Bridge, Weston Street, SE1 London UK
We return for yet another magical night of art, dance, and inclusive diversity – undoubtedly one of London’s most creative and inspiring club experiences.
Synergy gathers an incredibly colourful and vibrant crowd whilst managing to cast a critical eye on the troubled social and environmental situation of our planet. Embedded within a powerful celebratory context that caters for some of the most eclectic taste buds Synergy offers a glimpse into a different reality, bringing together artists and campaigners from London’s alternative and environmental community.
Exploring new ways of living and working Synergy is seeking a healthier and more harmonious co-existence.
For this aim we will continue to promote large non-smoking environments at our events, safeguarding everyone’s inclusion. We hope that you will understand our vision and help us by supporting this exciting and daring project.
We have a Peaceful Smoking Initiative. Please also read the Venue’s Drug Policy.

NGO Campaign
For this specific event in April 2006 the Synergy Project team
will support a number of initiatives :
SWAZILAND 2006 : Blood-borne disease project
We will be hosting an info stall throughout the night and a raffle at 5pm in the IDSpiral chillout to raise funds and awareness for this ambitious and important project. Have a read of below Press Release to find out more about it:
“We are a team of ten undergraduates from the Royal Veterinary College, London. We will be going to Swaziland in the summer of 2006 to study the prevalence of blood-borne diseases in cattle, the main source of food and income for subsistence farmers, which comprise the majority of farms. According to a study conducted in 1985, blood-borne parasites such as Babesia infect more than 60% of cattle in some areas of the country, and are endemic throughout Swaziland. After infection, the parasite can kill cattle within 1-4 days. Many farmers only own a few head of cattle, so infection by the parasite can have devastating effects on small-holdings.
Our research aims to re-assess the challenge posed by and levels of infection of blood-borne diseases within Swaziland’s cattle population today. Farming methods and veterinary techniques have changed drastically over the past twenty years, and as these diseases are transmitted via ticks, they can be relatively easily controlled.
Over the past twenty years, the HIV epidemic in Africa has reached unprecedented levels. In 2005 Swaziland had the highest HIV infection rate in the world. HIV and AIDS is decimating the working population of sub-Saharan Africa and leaving families without ways of earning an income. If we can control the number one killer of cattle in Swaziland, we can help poverty-stricken families and farmers maintain a basic income and source of disease-free nutrition in what is becoming an increasingly challenging era.”
Inside us All, the talented visual crew, are once again joining forces with Synergy to spread awareness and information about their charity projects in India.
Here is from their Project Press Release:
“Presently working with four community development societies based in India, each project exists to develop a basic level of education for children within poverty stricken areas.
From our recent visits and our ongoing help, each school made us more conscious of their under-developed resources.
The children suffer in immensely tough environments, often orphans or outcasts of unstable families. With problems ranging from child prostitution, gambling, drugs, domestic violence & crime their lives are ruined at a very young age.
Each project we’ve chosen to support is successfully providing hope and opportunity to the kids. Courses in basic math, language and crafts are helping children to develop skills and enabling them to interact within society.
One of inside-us-all’s main objectives is to work directly with children ourselves. By building our own education centre, by supplying educated and diverse individuals to one specific project. inside-us-all hopes to construct its own place of learning. Over the next few years we will be travelling to and from South America to develop relationships with communities enabling us to work towards a more creative option for slum / village children. We look forward to any help you can offer this project.
This project will be our long term direction, and we are looking for skilled volunteers, teachers, renewable energy experts, international communicators, political experts & individuals with a flare for life.
