Crossing Bridges
Works through culture and media to expand the scope of understanding and unity between people. Created in 2001, Crossing Bridges is made up of artists, musicians, filmmakers, and activists from Kosovo, the Balkans, and beyond. The work of Crossing Bridges is built on the foundation that peace and tolerance are achieved through open communication and truthful, creative expression, with a lot of faith thrown into the mix. The Tribes Project
Dedicated to multicultural perspectives and representation through the performing arts. We produce evocative original works and adaptations as forums for the open discussion of race, culture, and issues of the human condition. Athens 2004
Site for the Summer Olympics in Athens Greece. The Olympic Truce Movement
The concepts of the Olympic Games and of the Olympic Truce or "Ekecheiria", meaning the ceasing of hostilities during the duration of the Games, are inextricably linked. In ancient Greece, throughout the duration of the Olympic Truce, from the seventh day prior to the opening of the Games to the seventh day following their closing, conflicts ceased, allowing athletes, artists and spectators to travel to Olympia, participate in the Olympic Games and return to their homelands in safety. |
