Πώς η αττική γη υποδέχτηκε τους πρόσφυγες. Φωτογραφική έκθεση
και έκτισε τις καινούργιες εστίες της, οι σημερινοί κάτοικοι- περισσότεροι
απόγονοι προσφύγων- έχουν την ευκαιρία να δουν εικόνες και να γνωρίσουν πώς
έφθασαν και πώς έζησαν στον Πειραιά οι οικογένειες τους.

Η παλαιότερη Mονή στην Ελλάδα που προκαλεί δέος - Σκαρφαλωμένη σε απόκρημνο βράχο σε υψόμετρο 900 μέτρων
Το ιστορικό μοναστήρι των Καλαβρύτων, περίπου δέκα χιλιόμετρα στα
βορειοανατολικά της πόλης, είναι αφιερωμένο στην Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου.
Πήρε το όνομά του από την τοποθεσία του, καθώς είναι χτισμένο στο άνοιγμα μεγάλου φυσικού σπηλαίου στον Χελμό, σε υψόμετρο περίπου 900 μέτρων πάνω από τη χαράδρα του Βουραϊκού. Το σπήλαιο ήταν γνωστό από την αρχαιότητα και αναφέρεται από τον Παυσανία.

Tajikistan Folk Music
Tajik folk music is traditionally divided into three styles, Pamir (Mountain-Badakhshan province), Central Kuhistoni (Gissar, Kulyab, Garm provinces) and Sogdiana's northern style; the latter is part of the same musical culture as the adjacent regions of Uzbekistan (Kashkadarya Province and Surkhandarya Province). There are many kinds of songs, both lyrical and instrument, including work songs, ceremonial, funeral, wedding and musical epics, especially the central Tajik heroic legend Gurugli also known as "Omar Sham Sham".

Rocky Dawuni "Shine A Light"
"Shine A Light” by Rocky Dawuni combines the sounds of New Orleans with reggae and samba to create an anthem of positivity. The song and video celebrate the power of our shared humanity and the importance of being courageous to tap into your own power of expression. In a time of great uncertainty in our world, "Shine a Light” reminds the listener to uphold the positive and recognize that we are all agents of hope and change. The brand new video for the track which was filmed Los Angeles, directed by renowned photographer Myra Vides and produced by Cary Sullivan is a tribute to joy in all of its organic expressions.
International musician and activist, Rocky Dawuni originally from Ghana, West Africa, straddles the boundaries between Africa, the Caribbean and the U.S. to create his appealing Afro Roots sound that unites generations and cultures. A galvanizing performer, Dawuni has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Janelle Monae and John Legend, among many others. Named one of Africa's Top 10 global stars by CNN, he has showcased his talent at prestigious venues and events including The Kennedy Center, Montreux Jazz Festival and The Hollywood Bowl. Rocky Dawuni's sixth album, Branches of the Same Tree (Cumbancha), which features the song “Shine A Light”, was nominated for a GRAMMY for “Best Reggae Album."
