1° of may in Tamera

TAMERA ,first of may 2008.
About two hundred people gather today , in the Aula, in order to celebrate the beginning of the new Monte Cerro year.
Approximately fourty new students participate in the encounter.
Nine different nationalities (England, Israel, Italy, Holland, USA) will render the new group even more international than the last two last years of university.
Moon Rider, the gospel Tamera's choir, opened the matinèe with a portuguese, perky, rythmic heartful song . Rico , the main singer, pointed out : “ We want to sing a song which reminded all of us why we are here : how to heal a culture, how to change it! ”.
After a very long round of applause for the sonorus performance Juliane Eckmann introduced with simplicity and clarity the new Monte Cerro year . She also gave a warm welcome to all the new third year students.
Juliane reminded how Tamera is involved in a global level because the work that we are doing here is a benefit for the whole planet. “We all are part of the same world . We all are one like a planetary body”, she underlined.
It is foundamental to direct our forces toward a peace culture and not to encrease a culture of war and violence.
Juliane remarked how Monte Cerro Peace Education is a path of joy and inner deep decisions, vital for the world in which we are living in because it makes no more sense to go on living a habitual life when the whole world is in a rapid tranformation.
The matinèe had been enlivened by 3 songs which brought the participant to a joyfull communitarian dance.
The meeting carried on with a speech from Benjamin von Mendelssohn which diffused hope and power of change in a world which needs love and compassion .
“To live in Tamera means to live in a laboratory. In a project in which a movement for a free earth has been created. The main aim of the three years Monte Cerro Peace Education is how to carry on these foundamental topics of inconditional love, truth and trust between human beeings.”
