Dear Friends on The Wallenberg Board,
We are now in final pre-launch stages for the Voices of Humanity project, checking out the equipment and things are looking good. To participate, click in to the Voices of Humanity - Order out of Chaos voh.wallenberg.intermix.org/dialogs/4/forum discussion. At this point I am looking for ideas how best to further the Voices of Humanity project. For more about Voices of Humanity, see http://voicesofhumanity.org. Click the "Start New Thread" button to post your idea. So far we have nine good suggestions posted. I am looking for 20 or 30 if possible. That would be ideal.
After you have clicked in you can press the "Results" button at the top of the forum page to see how the voting is shaping up. As it is now the overall winning message was written by someone from The Steering Committee. Let’s see what we here at The Wallenberg can do.
One of our long-standing ideas has been to sponsor a Voices of Humanity dialog between Israelis and Palestinians. In 2005 we had a great dialog between Jews and Muslims, but we know the politics are much tougher between Israelis and Palestinians. See the write-up on our Wallenberg website. I would like to go ahead with this idea. The first step will be to establish a committee to formulate the project more exactly. Do we want this to be a Wallenberg project? Or perhaps we could make it a "Middle East Peace" discussion and try bringing in Josef Avesar and friends from mepeace.org and others as a way of getting started?
Please notice that InterMix allows participation at both group and discussion level. If you are reading this as an email and click in at the group level and reply to just this message, then only Wallenberg Board members will be privy. But if you then click on the "Discussion" button on the left and select the "Voices of Humanity - Order out of Chaos" discussion, then you could post your idea as a way forward for Voices of Humanity in the discussion, where we have UNA-SF and The Steering Committee participating as well.
Thanks for reading through.
atb,
-- Roger
