Thanks to new technologies, the word is no longer controlled by those who own the means of printing and replication, as well as the governments of countries that restrict freedom of thought and communication. Now everyone can take control of the press. Everyone can tell their stories to the whole world. We strive to build bridges across the abyss separating people in order to better understand each other. We strive to work together more efficiently and act with greater force. We believe in the power of direct contact. In personal, political and powerful bonds between individuals from different parts of the world. " [1]
