Collaborations

 

Humanist Movement.     The humanist movement is inspired in New Humanism, a current of thought expressed in the writings of Silo and the many authors and artists who are inspired by his work. Humanism is not an ideology but a sentiment and a way of life that places the human being as a central concern. It is a way of being in the world that strives to overcome pain and suffering, learn without limits, and love the reality we build.  Through the methodology of Active Nonviolence the organisms and actions fronts of the humanist movement work for simultaneous personal and social transformation. The Memoscopio team collaborates with humanist organizations that include:

• World Center for Humanist Studies
• World Without Wars and Violence
• Convergence of Cultures
• Humanist Party
• The Community (for human development)
• Pressenza  International Press Agency 
• Bria di Novi
