CALL
We, hereby, call for writers, professionals or others, to participate submitting pieces of travel writing which would share Mikel Essery’s spirit of travelling Mikel Essery developed over the years in editorials, articles, interviews, travel notebooks and numerous talks.
"I am committed to the challenge of mixing cultures and bringing people together, being, thus, the real global challenge: the people and nor the states neither ideologies, cooperation and not competition, exchange and solidarity rather than the totalitarism. Travelling should enhance, above all, respect and concern for other ways of thinking, and its aim should be getting closer to other cultures."
We look for stories that starting from the life experience of each storyteller could bring us closer to other social, cultural, natural and human world issues; stories that could surprise us with their depth and promote empathy with the other; stories from which we could learn something, being, therefore, an invitation to travel, understood as a searching path or meeting ground.
