Discover new cultures and work for Peace

[Unregistered]

Dear Colleagues
We are coordinating a comenius project about the views of different nations', cultures' and religions' towards peace and their efforts to live in Peace throughout the history. We are four partners at the moment(Turkey, Slovakia, Romania and Poland) and will be glad to see you in our project. The aim of the project is special one as we will educate sensitive students towards Peace and they will actively work for it. There will be many activities like publishing a book of joint approaches of partner countries, periodicals, brochures and VCDs. Our partners all agree the useful outcomes of the project in terms of student advantages. We are planning to organize trips to historical and touristic cities in our countries and organize conferences or student shows to share our studies with as much as students and public as well. There will be student visits too. Joint shows will be performed in our visits.
During the study students will have opportunity to send postal mails and e-mails to each other to enrich their awareness of different cultures.
Also in the second year of the project we aim to design a website for the students to be a member -from any country and participate our studies to reach peace forever. The students will communicate with a wide range of students from all parts of the world by means of this website. It will be a contact point for students, teachers and schools from different countries.
All the preparations are ready and we are planning to fill in the application form in two weeks. We are glad to welcome you to this enjoyable and meaningful study...
Best Wishes

About the views of different nations', cultures' and religions' towards peace and their efforts to live in Peace throughout the history.

Imagine a sphere comming into focus... First at a distance, then clearer and more orderly. It appears that there is a predominate species. They largely hold the future of many things and places in their hands weather they want the responsibility or not....

And as I look around from Space. And near this foreign place. I notice that, there are many different colored creatures, they seem to be of the same genious or family, but are in fearce battle with one another, trickery is at play and deception. They are using up the resources which they are dependent upon for life, but do not seem concerned. The imbalance seems to wobble even greater still. Like a diseased cell turning on itself, attempting to consume like that of an autoimmune disease... itself!

I notice the implosion from all those dilluted spirits, as the grasp for power to controll one another as they undermind themselves, their families and friends, their enemies,,, and all the other stuff....

It seems weird that there are all these people in the same place (on a sphere tumbling through space), fighting with one another, as if anyone/ thing is any better than the rest,,, And after all, we are all here for only a short time in the scheme of things, it all seems really quite foolish... Like tunnel visioned blind men with the wrong picture leading the way!
