Multicultural day in la Pastorale Geneva – 6 September 2014

The Geneva Welcome Center (CAGI) is organising a multicultural day at la Pastorale in Geneva on 6 September 2014.

Between 3pm and midnight, visitors can discover activities prepared by about sixty local and international associations. The objective of this event is to connect NGOs and the Geneva public.

The event will feature interactive activities, photo exhibitions, short cultural documentary films, and world music including a DJ who will liven up the evening with reggaeton rhythms.

Participants will be able to learn how an old mobile phone can be recycled, what it is like to be a plaintiff at the European Court of Human Rights, or to tape and bandage up a wound. They will also be able to taste a margarita, the popular cocktail made with Tequila, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of its designation of origin label.

In memory of Glenneth Thomas, GCN member who perished in flight MH17

This is a special post to to remember a dear GCN member, Glenn Thomas, who tragically perished in the Malaysian Airlines disaster last week.

He will be deeply missed and our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

The tide recedes but leaves behind

bright seashells on the sand.

The sun goes down, but gentle

warmth still lingers on the land.

The music stops, and yet it echoes

on in sweet refrains.

For every joy that passes,

something beautiful remains.

(Author unknown)

In deepest sympathy,

The GCN Team
