Handshaking Marathon for Peace
Romanian NGOs are launching a call for you to join a handshaking marathon for peace in the memory of the victims of the war in Georgia, on Wednesday, 13 August 2008, at 18.45 hrs. We will gather in two groups – one on Av. Pavel Kiseleff in front of the Romanian Peasant’s Museum and the other at the Arch of Triumph – and we will walk towards each other until we reach the Russian Embassy in Bucharest (Sos. Pavel Kiseleff, nr.6). There we will shake hands and light candles in the memory of the victims of the war in Georgia, asking for the cease of armed conflict in the region.
Bring a white flower and a candle, take your friends along and come join us to show the world how conflicts should be mediated and to challenge international actors to do the same. Play your part in this act of solidarity and come shake hands with the person next to you.
Rules for the marathon:
At the handshaking marathon we will only whisper. During this event even the feeblest voices will be heard, not only those of the strongest.

At the handshaking marathon we will only bring along things you need in a negotiation: pens and sheets of paper, goodwill and open-mindedness for listening to the others, tolerance and respect towards our handshaking partners.
