The (unintended) effects of faiths joining forces

2011-11-28T22:46:00.001+02:00

The moment representatives from 7 faith communities marched together onto a stadium in Durban on the 27th of November was filled with beauty. The esthetic beauty of the colours and shapes of the attires supported the more profound beauty. The beauty of unity between the various faiths gathering in the fight against climate change.

One of the faith leaders, Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu

200 000 signatures were brought to the stage in a tiny version of the Ark and handed over to the COP President Nkoana-Mashabane and Christina Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC. While the latter thanked the faith communities for their efforts and encouraged all to endure in the struggle even after COP17 she fought to hold her tears back.

Towards the end of the event the rain started pouring down. The tiny version of the Ark situated in the middle of the crowd represented only too well the lack of ways out should the Earth have to go through the disastrous effects of climate change. Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Baha’i, Buddhist, Hindu and Natural religious voices are clear: “We have faith – Act now for climate justice!”

The event had its moving moments. But also its share of fun. Desmond Tutu contributed with his good humour. It probably culminated with general secretaries, reverends and bishops dancing in the rain until they were soaked. Apparently faiths coming together can do more than mobilizing against climate change. A Christian form of rain dance was one of the unintended products. Wondering what will happen next time. Definitely looking forward to it.

I'm back on Norwegian soil and the caravan is leaving Kenya, heading South.

Climate justice caravan

2011-11-08T23:10:00.001+02:00

The climate caravan riding under the slogan "We have faith - Act now for climate justice" left Nairobi on the 7th of November heading for Durban where the COP 17 will be held between the 28th of November and 9th December. 160 youth from 4 continents will travel through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and Botswana before they reach South Africa. Along the way concerts will be held, awareness raised and signatures for the petition collected. To read more and give your signature for a just and legally binding climate treaty, please visit http://www.wehavefaithactnow.org/

Sunday work in Nairobi

2011-10-30T21:19:00.003+02:00

Two weeks in Nairobi with no time to do much except from work, you gotta enjoy the small things. The first Sunday, half way through my stay, I took some time to appreciate the details of the house I stayed in. After lunch on the porch work was again on the agenda until late night. All for the climate caravan "We have faith - Act now for climate justice".

WoCalling

2010-12-13T23:15:00.015+02:00

WoCalling (Women Calling), is a project put together and led by Norwegian jazz vocalist and composer Cecilie Giskemo. Focusing on the Woman, the compositions were drawing on Zimbabwean and Norwegian traditional music together with contemporary jazz and other styles.

Some of the best female vocalists in Zimbabwe and the Norwegian acapella goup Røyst together with a group of musicians, dancers and poets gave the audience at the Harare International Festival of the Arts earlier this year a varied and unforgettable concert experience. And more is to come.
