[:de]Screenshot_FokolarBewegungAuch die inhaltliche Ausrichtung wurde überarbeitet und bietet jetzt interessierten Usern einen guten ersten Einblick in Leben und Initiativen der Fokolar-Bewegung. Vor allem aber lässt die neue Seite Menschen zu Wort kommen, die sich an der Spiritualität der Fokolare orientieren. Ganz neu etwa: „Ich bin dabei, weil…“ – Freunde der Fokolare fassen in wenigen Sätzen zusammen, warum sie sich in der geistlichen Gemeinschaft engagieren. „Die Seite hat etwas von einem Springbrunnen“, schreibt eine der ersten Besucherinnen. „Die Startseite wirkt zunächst sehr ruhig, aufgeräumt… Und wenn man dann etwas anklickt, springt einem sehr lebendiges Leben, Vielfalt, “Buntheit“ entgegen“.

Creating a better world for all

Creating a better world for all

CayrusWorkshop_03From 21-25 October 2015, at the Mariapolis Centre in Castel Gandolfo (Rome), a workshop dedicated to the second phase of the Cayrus* International Youth Project, entitled “Launching Peace”, brought together 60 members from eight countries who belong to associations aimed at highlighting the use of arts to promote awareness and to inspire creative activism in peace building. The meeting started off with participants sharing their impressions from the previous conference held in Cairo, Egypt, during April-May this year. This was followed by a presentation of the European Union programs by Marco De Salvo, and the idea was launched to work together on a project. CayrusWorkshop_06After working in groups, some very interesting proposals emerged. One which attracted everyone was using the culture of food as a tool towards fraternity and promoting peace. The idea is to bring together young people from all participating associations and to share foods from their cultures. During the experience, which will last for five days, the young people will also deepen the theme on how to be builders of peace in their respective nations. One very interesting initiative which is worth mentioning concerns a Palestinian couple, Milad William and Manar Whab. Together they run an NGO called Vision Center for Culture and Arts (VCCA), a non-profit and non-political organization which aims to promote music, arts, and drama as communication for peace and understanding, in order to serve the four villages Al-Azaria, Abu Dees, Al-Sawahra, and AL-sheikh Sa’ed.
