How to create a culture of Peace rooted on Identity
Creating a new culture of peace rooted in our shared human identity requires embracing the commonalities that unite us rather than the differences that divide us. This involves fostering empathy, mutual respect, and understanding across all facets of society, transcending distinctions of gender, color, ideology, and religion. Education
systems should emphasize global citizenship and interconnectedness, promoting dialogue and collaboration over conflict. By recognizing and valuing the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, we can build a foundation for enduring peace that celebrates diversity as a strength while focusing on our collective humanity.

Juneteenth is more than just a day of celebration; it is a profound reminder of America's history and the ongoing journey toward equality and justice. Honoring Juneteenth is important for several reasons:
Recognition of African American History and Culture: Juneteenth celebrates the rich cultural heritage and significant contributions of African Americans to the fabric of American society. It is a time to honor the resilience, creativity, and enduring spirit of those who were enslaved and their descendants.
Education and Awareness: Juneteenth serves as a platform for educating people about the history of slavery, the Civil War, and the struggle for civil rights. By understanding this history, we can better appreciate the progress made and recognize the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality.
Reflection and Healing: The day provides an opportunity for reflection on the injustices of the past and their lasting impacts on society. It is a time for healing, dialogue, and fostering a more inclusive and understanding community.
Celebration of Freedom and Progress: Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—the fundamental right of every individual. It acknowledges the progress made since 1865 and encourages ongoing efforts to dismantle systemic racism and promote equality.
Tonight initiative 'Pasing ist Bunt' organized an awareness event about right wing extremism and aiming at fostering intercultural understanding and celebrating diversity.
While the gathering brought many voices together, it became apparent that there's still a significant gap in immigrant representation.
This serves as a reminder of the ongoing need to dismantle intercultural barriers and confront the challenges posed by the rise of right-wing extremism, which often thrives on frustration and fear.
Despite these challenges, it's crucial to remember that taking action and striving for change is far more productive than yielding to frustration. In an effort to support this cause, I volunteered and developed their website, aiming to bridge the gap and promote a more inclusive dialogue.
Let's continue to push for a society that truly embraces and celebrates its diversity. Together, we can work towards a future where every voice is heard and valued.
