Episode 20 - Talking Makes Sense, So Let's Talk More!

In today's episode - Episode 20 - we speak to Peter (Pece) Gorgievski who is one of the co-founders of Global Dialogue Foundation (GDF) and Unity in Diversity. GDF is a not-for-profit organisation which works in the field of citizen diplomacy. The foundation's work is based on promoting dialogue across its outlined Sectors and Sub-Sectors and its efforts are focussed on overcoming barriers which exist among people in their hearts, souls and minds. GDF uses dialogue as a tool for improving living conditions and to promote people getting to know each other. In doing so, getting to know planet Earth as a global village and as a collective home for which all will care about. But also, so that peoples ideas, dreams and projects will be focussed towards an improved and inclusive manner of life - building universal brotherhood and a culture of peace, while sustaining the Earth as a unique planet and the only collective home in this reality. In his role as Chairman and CEO, he leads a global network of organisations and individuals who work together to promote dialogue and understanding among people of different cultures and backgrounds. Since 2010, Peter has focussed on bringing people together on an ongoing basis in local communities around the world and establishing projects which support the integration of all peoples with mainstream society, while each maintains their own unique cultural identity and heritage. Peter has travelled the world presenting the Unity in Diversity project, and has been working in collaboration with the UN Alliance of Civilizations since GDF’s inception. He shares his passion for contributing to building a world based on inclusive societies and a culture of peace. Peter is also a director of a private company based in Australia involved in import and distribution. He is married and has 3 children, aged 21, 19 and 16. And in case you were wondering, Peter sold everything he owned - a house, savings and most material possessions to get GDF off the ground in 2010. How's that for personal commitment to build a better world? How much would you be willing to give up to create the better world we all deserve? Enjoy and stay in touch!
