blue sky stuff supports as best it can a number of organisations, this is one of them:-
5Colours1World is an intercultural organization whose focus is on youth empowerment and active media training. The training projects and workshops we facilitate are centered around cultural diversity, interreligious dialogue, civic journalism, media literacy, gender equality, active nonviolence and peacebuilding, poverty eradication, racism, xenophobia, Fairtrade and environmental sustainability.
We also consult and cooperate with local, national and international NGOs who work in these areas of interest and specialization in addition to Nobel Peace Prize winners (Adolfo Perez Esquivel & Mairead Corrigan Maguire) and other individuals such as Dr. Jane Goodall and Werner Lampert, pioneer of organic farming in Austria, who work creatively and nonviolently to generate positive initiatives for active social and environmental change. To date, Gregory and Stuart have cooperated and worked with The International Fellowship of Reconciliation (I.F.O.R), The Jane Goodall Institute, The Erste Foundation, WienXtra, The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), The Wi’am Center, KonfliktKultur and the The Council of Europe’s Pestalozzi Program.
Stuart’s career began within the UK TV industry at Sky Television and then as a freelance location sound mixer for various international television programmes and short films. This followed the completion of a Bachelor degree in Professional Media: Video from the University of Gloucestershire. A diverse and multi-skilled expansion into camera operating, video editing and other graphical post production techniques and a move to Vienna led to Stuart volunteering as mixed media expert, coordinator and a trainer of I.F.O.R Austria’s Global Education English Project Weeks.
Gregory Kennedy-Salemi studied computer science and international relations at a private university in Chicago while simultaneously working as a computer systems manager at MTI Technology. Gregory represented his university at the United Nations in Geneva after which he began his tenure in 2003 as a volunteer global education coordinator, trainer and mixed media specialist for I.F.O.R Austria. During this time, Gregory was invited to speak at the United Nations on the importance of Global Education. Gregory also worked as a technical consultant and web developer at I.F.O.R’s International Secretariat in Holland. He also produces and directs commercial video projects for young, innovative start-up companies in central Europe.
