Nvard, FD blogger, Caucasus : “You must achieve peace inside you, if there is a battle between you and yourself, when you are not satisfied with what you have and you seek more and more, then it results in your everyday life. Your behavior changes and you become intolerant toward other nations and races. The worst thing is when you trigger a conflict among the people of a certain country without taking your gloves out and hide your face under the democratic mask.”
Anush, FD team, Armenia: “Peace is a dialogue. Don’t forget about the possibility to dialogue when there is any kind of threat to peace. Use your chance of creating a more secure and peaceful world.”
One of the main features of Forgotten Diaries is to have participants keep their own ‘digital diaries’, blogs that allow them to talk about themselves and their countries, upload pictures and videos, and ultimately, engage in intercultural dialogue among themselves and the audience.
Each country/area has its own blog; please take the time to read through them and feel free to leave comments or questions.
