Invitation to create your own local Peace event around our global Peace event on July 9th
On July 9th a worldwide Jazz Event will be held in Abuja, Nigeria. This event will be streamed live worldwide to those partners in our network that wish to share our message of Peace and shared responsibilities around core human and natural values.
What could your local event look like?
You could make agreements with a local bar, a restaurant or theater, to invite local citizens to your event. During the event you organize local talks with key messages of shared responsibilities for sustainable human progress. You receive the streaming link (at 8€ cost of participation) with which you can show the entire musical event to your own public. It is up to you if you add elements like food and drinks to your own event and like that cover your local costs. You would need a large screen and a good internet connection to be able to stream the show. The rest of the setting is entirely up to you.
STIR is partner to extend our human centered way of working with complex issues and the ethics of our shared responsibilities. We also suggest to network the initiatives, not only for the 9th of July, but also for the development of possible future programs together. Please drop a note to jp@stadvanmorgen.com if you like to join the network.
Our image of a culture is not always based on reality
Prejudism is a horrible human factor that creates many unnecessary conflicts, fears and misunderstandings. If we want a peaceful, progressive world we should eliminate prejudism through curiosity about the other, dialogue and and open mind.
On April 20th at 17:00 we organize our 4th online Peace gathering. We will highlight 7 different cultures from all around the world. What do we know about these cultures? Where does our knowledge or lack thereof come from? Do all the Dutch walk on wooden shoes? Are all the Germans villans as they make us believe in American Hollywood movies? Do people in Africa live in clay houses and wear grass skirts? Do all Chinese eat Sushi? Is Brussels the Netherlands? Let us meet with reality and admire the beauty of the cultures around the world instead of judging or fearing them, often based on nonsense and misinformation.

Nature comes alive again, how about humanity?
The equinox on March 20th shows us once again the magical coherence of nature and reminds us of our own historical immaturity to deal with symbiose and peacefulness. Let us celebrate our steps to maturity through a musical online event.
Springtime shows how the ecosystem in nature comes alive with the extra sunlight. Trees, flowers, insects, bushes, everything is showing itself in its colorful diversity. The ecosystem is well balansed, peaceful and symbiotically interactive. Every event triggers other life events up to the full cycle fullfilment. After that it gradually downgrades itself into the winter pauze where storms, darkness and cold form a natural moment of rest.
Nature acts like a well orquestrated symphony. The question arises why humankind has some much difficulty behaving in a similar cocreative, multually dependent and peaceful way? We believe that it has to so with our evolutionary immaturity. For a long time humankind could grow nearly unlimited in a space without natural enemies, except ourselves. We also did not interpret the natural environment as a friend to interact with, we rather saw it as open storage of raw materials free for us to use. Our territorial drifts and controls, together with a puberal competitive drive, made us fight each other out of self interest.
In analogy with the orquestrated symphony of nature we, human beings, act like musicians that have learned to play an instrument but have not understood yet how to play together. We show traces of empathy and diplomacy at times but hardly manage to syntonize into values driven cocreation with each other or our environment.
This is changing.
We seem to mature the hard way, through painful conflicts, sudden illnesses and bursts of awareness. Awareness gradually show us that all these conflicts don´t serve humankind at all. We need to outgrow this mentality and become constructive, progressive, cocreative, according to the Laws of Nature. One of these laws is the musicality of the living environment. Let us celebrate this online at 17:00 CET (Amsterdam time)
