‘Light It Up Blue’ is a global campaign that sees thousands of iconic landmarks, cities and towns around the world turn blue on April 2 to recognise World Autism Awareness Day. The campaign highlights the pressing need for greater public education and awareness of autism in our community.
Gibraltar is joining many other countries around the world in the illumination of an iconic building in blue. The Government has decided to light up the Gibraltar Parliament.
The blue lights will be switched on at 8.00pm on Wednesday 2nd April and will remain switched on until Sunday.
