Hola Visitor:
In this newsletter you find a selection of news and events posted on the website of Convergence of Cultures.
A lot of revolutionary events are taking place around the world. Winds of indignation about injustice, corruption and lack of freedom are blowing all over. In the same time we can notice a strong search for new channels, new forms of action. It seems that our vision of the world and the life is changing and that certainly affects also the dialogue between cultures.
Will we and all cultures overcome the roots of violence, that separates us and build a new worldwide culture based on non-violence? Many teams and groups of Convergence of Cultures are participating in this challenge. We invite you to share your experiences, sending photos, videos, comments on the actions in which you are participating.
Together we move forward, together we build and together we learn!
Greetings from the World Team
