In My Opinion The Gift of Generations

11 Jahren
by in SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS, NEWS
The Lord blessed me last week with the birth of a great-grandson. As I began writing this article I almost slipped and wrote „another“ great-grandson. I have been blessed many times over with becoming a great-grandfather. But I caught myself and did not write „another“ great-grandchild because the birth of every great-grandchild is unique and special. I come from a generation where I and my peers barely knew grandparents and no one ever imagined seeing a great- grandparent. The fact that great-grandparenthood is almost taken for granted in our current society is really one of the momentous miracles of our time. Much of this achievement has to do with the great strides in…

One of the basic questions raised by the commentators to the Torah as well as by all of Jewish history is determining the true relationship of Jacob and Esau. Is Esau the implacable enemy of Jacob and so has he remained throughout human history? Or, is he only the wayward brother of Jacob who is capable of reconciliation and cooperation in building a better and more just society? This question is been debated in Jewish sources for millennia. The Talmud itself records for us varying and even contradictory opinions regarding the matter. Over the long years of Jewish dispersion as history itself shows, especially in the countries of Europe, Jacob has suffered mightily at the hands of…

Wir hoffen, dass wir so vielen Menschen wie möglich mit unserem Projekt zur Seite stehen können. Wir haben aber das Problem, dass „Everyday Rebellion“ nicht kommerziell ist. Deswegen haben wir kein Budget mehr, um die Plattform mit neuem Material zu versorgen Wir hoffen, dass wir genug Spenden bekommen, um unser Projekt mindestens für ein weiteres Jahr fortsetzen zu können.

Interview: Nahid Fallahi
Übersetzung und Überarbeitung: Jashar Erfanian

Kürzlich wurde eine Crowdfunding-Aktion auf Kickstarter gestartet. Dort kann man das Projekt finanziell unterstützen. Als kleines Dankeschön bekommen die SpenderInnen etwa den Link zum Film, die DVD oder das Poster.

* Arash T. Riahi ist ein österreichischer Filmemacher iranischer Herkunft. Von 1995 bis 2002 war er freier Mitarbeiter des ORF und konzentrierte sich auf Dokumentationen, Musikvideos und Werbefilme. Riahi war 1998 Co-Gründer der Film– und Medienproduktionsfirma „Golden Girls Filmproduktion“. Neben Kurzfilmen, Werbespots und Musikvideos drehte Riahi einige Fernsehdokumentationen und Dokumentarfilme. Arash T.

Rob Kushen provides an answer to the question “Why should we have another Decade when the first one sucked?” This article gets to the point about what sucked and why; and gets realistic about what to expect from a renewed Decade.

Reflecting on Roma Rights and Media

The ERRC held a workshop entitled „Reflecting on Roma Rights and Media“ with professional journalists in Ohrid, Macedonia on 28 – 30 November. Journalist participants came from the ERRC’s new target countries, Albania, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Hercegovina. They gathered to discuss the state of reporting and representation of Roma in mainstream media, and how best to collaborate in shifting the narrative from prejudicial reporting to progressive and informed media coverage of Roma-related issues. At the workshop experts made presentations on topics such as Roma in Europe; European Institutions, European Integration and Roma; Human rights journalism; European Media and Roma; Romani Media or Roma in mainstream media; and European Politics, Far right movements and Roma in Europe.

Slovakia: The rocky road to inclusion: http://www.errc.org/blog/slovakia-the-rocky-road-to-inclusion/41 … via @errctweets

In this latest contribution to the ERRC Blog, Stanislav Daniel explores the vicissitudes of #Roma representation in #Slovakia past and present, and outlines what’s needed to build trust and credibility for a better future. “Shedding any expectations of fast outcomes or instant success at the national level, Romani women and men must first engage in policy-making in their municipalities, graduate to regional politics, and then move on to take their places in national and international structures. With this in mind, the very good news that the number of Roma municipal councillors in Slovakia is steadily growing, augurs well for the future.”
