Frances’ interview in Berlin is featured live: watch and listen!
Frances featured in the Bielefeld newspaper.
While in Berlin, Frances visited a school teaching the concepts of living democracy and was presented with “The Dove of Peace:” A live-size golden dove carrying an olive branch, sculpted by German artist Richard Hillinger for the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and adopted at the third session of the UN General Assembly. The artist made thirty statuettes to represent the thirty articles of the Human Rights Declaration. In 2009, all of these doves, each as a symbol of peace, are “flying” through the whole of the world from person to person, from institute to institute. To learn more, visit Collage United Nations.
