That time Sergei spoke about external factors that caused the present situation in minds and hearts of the Russia population; Jacques Marion revealed the internal problems. He spoke on “Towards the society of interconnection, working together for mutual well-being, and universal values.” The participants were listening with great attention and afterwards they started a live discussion.
Thereafter, Tatyana Krasnosumova, Secretary General of the UPF Ural chapter, chairperson of the Peace Council in the North-east region, and Ambassador for Peace made her report. She told about the recently realized UPF project, the "Guiding Star" training camp for Young Ambassadors for Peace; her report was followed by reading comments of the participants and a slide show about life in the camp.
Afterwards, the General Director of the company “Baltfest” Ltd., Natalya Dolidze, took the floor. She spoke about “Joint partner-projects.” She told about development of the project “Light of the Christmas Star” that was launched two years ago together with UPF and about a new project, “Baltic Cruise,” that is set to start in the near future.
