Become an InterPlay Ambassador!
International InterPlay Trip to Brazil
• foster local and global cultural exchange
• empower people through artistic practices
• advance intergenerational learning
• strengthen and uplift women
• make peace through lasting friendships
We are inviting experienced and willing InterPlayers to come along on and help us create connections with other countries.
InterPlay is fast becoming a proven tool kit for international community-building. Perhaps you could be an InterPlay “ambassador” playing a significant role in that process. By traveling with InterPlay leaders to other countries and providing body-to-body support in various groups, ambassadors increase the “yes” factor in the experience; listening at the heart and the edges of the group, and sharing personal experiences using InterPlay forms. Sometimes ambassadors are asked to lead and perform. The gift of people-to-people intimacy accelerates friendship and understanding between our different cultural contexts. What a powerful way to experience another country!
Masankho Banda is leading an important ground-breaking InterPlay tour to Southern Brazil this September in preparation for a larger contingent to travel there in the Fall of 2010. Participants will accompany Masankho as he introduces InterPlay to Brazilian participants under the &ldquo''Cultures of Peace” theme.
Masankho will be teaming up with Nadia Thalji, who learned about InterPlay while visiting her sister in the Bay Area and then went back to her home in Brazil and began enthusiastically organizing InterPlay activities. She even created an InterPlay website in Portugese!
Sept 21, 2010 has already been designated an InterPlay Special Day of Peace by the Mayor of Bento Goncalves in Southern Brazil. Nadia Thalji, new coordinator for InterPlay Brazil says, “It’s on the official agenda of the City Hall and in the local newspaper. Life is good.”
