RECENT ACTIVITIES

Eva Kras has been involved in numerous activities, projects, and presentations. Here are a few key experiences from the last 12 months.

Invitation to participant in a Sangithi on Hind Swaraj during January 30 – February 1, 2009.
Eva joined this special think tank / retreat. The purpose was to talk about the Gandhian document related to his concept of Democracy (as written in approximately 1910) and how the basic concepts apply equally today. This occasion coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Ganadhian writing, and is as pertinent today as we struggle with "what comes next" following the worldwide breakdown of confidence in our present system.

January 2009
