Puntos Calientes - A Peace Seed Date
Place: Escolapios College
Charla informativa (Macrea Clarke) organizada por un grupo de jóvenes que trabajan desde la Fundación Itaka-Escolapios en temas de sensibilización en relaciones Norte-Sur y Comercio Justo. Se celebrará en el propio Colegio Escolapios (Alda. Recalde, No. 19, Bilbao), empezando a las 20.00 h. Los organizadores dicen:
"Vivimos en un planeta diverso, intercultural y globalizado en el que lo que sucede en un punto del planeta interpela cada vez más nuestras vidas. Un planeta cada vez más pequeño y cada vez más complejo. Un planeta lleno de distintas realidades. Llamemos a esas distintas realidades puntos...puntos de dicrepancia.Discrepancia politica, social, cultural, religiosa...discrepancias que se materializan en confictos, movimientos sociales, agrupaciones y organizaciones...en definitiva; PUNTOS CALIENTES."
