Since 2021, the Pax Christi Movement has been engaged in a cycle of reflection on the fractures dividing French society, with the aim of creating spaces for exchange and understanding to move towards a peaceful society. After the course of reflection “From security to peace”, the Movement is proposing this year a colloquium entitled “Deconstructing hate speech”. It is a question of understanding the origins of these discourses, their modes of construction and above all of finding the means of acting to limit their production and scope. This symposium, built in an interreligious approach, is the result of a partnership between Pax Christi and the World Conference of Religions for Peace. Head of establishment, magistrate, police officer, journalist, academics, actors from the associative world will be invited to testify and to exchange during round tables and workshops.

Enlightened Human Resources   The XVIII United Nations Career Roundtable that takes place at UNESCO’s  Headquarters in Paris, gathering some three hundreds Human Resources  specialists coming from all over the world,  will be closed by the  exhibition-event DANCER INSIDE PARIS of the photographer and architect  Simone Ghera. He is from Rome, based in Berlin and has been a member of  the CID, International Dance Council (NGO affiliated to UNESCO) for  several years. His project DANCER INSIDE is supported by CID Paris  Section    

During the event, several ballet performances will be held by dancers of  prestigious ballet Companies, accompanied by the pianist live music  solo.  The project DANCER INSIDE was presented already in the Palais des  Nations in ONUG Geneva on 2020 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION  

The project "DANCER INSIDE" represents Ghera’s personal work and  contains images of dancers from different countries,  companies and  academies, taken over several years (since 2008) during rehearsals and  classes, backstage, outdoor locations based in significant architectural  and historical premises.   Each photograph represents the combination of two opposed but linked  elements, which are the pillars of his project: Architecture and Dance.  On one hand, Architecture embodies the cultural identity, the history,  the geography, the religion of each place which is unique and different  from all the other ones.  On the other hand, Dance is a universal language that overcomes the  national and cultural boundaries and can be understood by everyone.  The combination of these two elements creates a synergetic work of art  that aims at spreading the cultural diversity of the world through the  universal language of dancers. The beauty of the world lies in its  diversity and the artistic communication enables the public to  understand it and appreciate it. This is the message that Ghera’s  photographs want to convey, matching very well the overall mission of  the United Nations and the diversity of its people. In particular in  this very occasion, the performance of the ballerinas with their  agility, elegance and lightness will be very inspirational for the staff  working in Human Resources Management.
