A little story from Rhodes - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog This story was sent to me by Maria Bakari, who I met at the Kaospilots meeting in January. Shes greek and Im half-greek, so we had a moment association. Maria doesn't have a blog, so with her authorization, Im posting the story here: Recently I had the exceptional joy to meet Mr and Mrs De Montalembert. The guardians of the Marc de Montalembert Foundation which has been set up here in Rhodes in 1994. The Foundation was made in the memory of their child, Marc, who died in a cruising mishap outside Rhodes, close to the Turkish shores in July 1993. His folks, French-conceived Marc Renee and Italian-conceived Manuela, have made it their crucial carry on the goals that they feel Marc would have needed to advance. They state of Marc: He had a dream of the world enlivened by resistance and between social comprehension. The Marc de Montalembert Foundation, offers youngsters younger than 30 the chance to win a 7,000-euro award to go around Mediterranean nations and seek after exploration regarding their matter of decision. The victor of the award is additionally allowed to remain for a time of as long as a half year at the Foundation, situated in the Medieval town of the island of Rhodes. The couple accepts that the award empowers youngsters from Mediterranean nations to cut down boundaries and bring issues to light of social similitudes and methods for correspondence with individuals who show up excessively unique. Youngsters are especially ready to connect over contrasts and conquer the uneasiness when confronted with the obscure, they state. Beating separation and numbness is the best test. This is the reason a significant movement of the Foundation is the yearly award, empowering a Mediterranean youth to find and study the way of life of the locale. I really felt special to have the option to be in contact with this vision, this excellent ?in numerous angles dream and the glorious magnificence of the vacation home and gardens where the Foundation is facilitated joining components of the social assorted variety (especially Byzantine, Ottoman and Medieval) of this favored island. While being guided in the nursery and tuning in to the tale of the spot being reestablished and changed (from a deserted property to a motivating structure) I could feel the respect, the uprightness and the regard that this space holds. I duplicate from a site: Besides, the plants developing in the nursery are amazing analogies for a few things essential to the de Montalemberts: social assorted variety (Byzantine, Medieval and Ottoman landmarks), serenity (in Spring all the blossoms bloom white) and development through correspondence of thoughts, standards and contrasts (the roots and drifting seeds). The message is clear and I urge you to impart this solicitation to companions and systems from the Mediterranean locale. Those of you going along with us for the Demos Community College ideally will get the opportunity to meet this magnificent spot and its awesome watchmen and have a decent discussion in this learning space. In doing as such (passing the message on) kindly remember: the ones who might require this experience most, the less favored and advantaged ones, the more youthful, the ones with less chances and less openness of data?

(I heard some place that researchers are looking for it in the zone?)
