New book features 1P1P

“Living your Passion; How Love-in-Action is Seeding a Whole New World” by Rose Diamond. Rose Diamond, ex-pat Kiwi, and well-known pioneer in transformational learning, outlines and describes key elements of the journey towards a more global consciousness and the values and priorities arising in the seeds of the new culture emerging throughout the world. In the interviews featured in this inspiring book Rose Diamond explores the thesis that New Zealand has the potential to be a truly peaceful, sustainable, and soulful nation at the forefront of the growing global desire for radical change and deeper connections.

 

October 8, 2007

120 children in Christchurch, Auckland and Hiroshima joined in a ground-breaking live video link anchored by Mayors Bob Harvey (Chair of 1p1p Advisory Group); Hiroshima’s Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba, President of the global network Mayors for Peace; Garry Moore, Mayor of Christchurch, New Zealand’s first peace city and Cam McPhee, Senior Advisor, Ministry of Education VLN network. The event showcased the Peace Pals, their collaborative projects and their spontaneous dialogue around their hopes and strategies for a more peaceful world, utilising a state-of-the-art, Kiwi designed communications technology platform. The project was the first global Peace Pal live link-up and was widely and enthusiastically welcomed and endorsed by teachers and principals. It also had the involvement of the majority of Apple Distinguished Educators in New Zealand.

 

One People One Planet is a revolutionary idea. It is an idea and an opportunity that we ignore at our peril. It’s time has come. Never before has there been the means to engage the view and talent of the world’s children and seeing what they might achieve in changing the face of the world. If we accept that, like us, all children have a deep heart-felt desire to be liked, understood and respected it is clear the kind of changes communicating as Peace Pals will bring. The world will gain a new voice The Voice of the Children. This voice can be heard and monitored globally for the very first time because of the radical developments in communications technology.
