What is O-livestream®?   

O-livestream® (olivestream) is a circle of diverse people drawn together by a "live-internet-video-education stream" in local communities and around the world. O-livestream offers a vision and a technological vehicle serving the empowerment of communities and their unique heritage, facilitating education and cross-cultural conversation. It supports  explorations by groups on a range of concerns toward understanding and constructive action. O-livestream assists partners in designing live video teaching modules for exchanges to enhance classroom learning.

O-livestream affirms the wisdom of the people, elders, teachers, and leaders within and across cultures and traditions, actively participating in ways of life that are age-old and progressively new, that have flowed from roots in prior generations, upbuilding lives, shared struggles, justice, and identity. The olive tree symbolically unites diverse continents, without global domination. The olive branch is a symbol of peaceful knowledge carried purposefully, streaming over the seas from one destination to another. The Earth is a circle of 'living streams,' seeking healing and a future.
