1000
Journals is a film about people whose lives are touched by 1000
traveling journals. These blank journals were released into the world
in the summer of 2000, by Someguy, a San Francisco based artist. Some
people found a journal, or got it from a friend or stranger. Some
signed up on the web and received it in the mail. Some wrote in them,
others doodled, pasted in photographs, or added artworks. Some kept
them. Some passed them on. There are no rules, and no one really
monitors these journals and their movements. And yet, they are
connecting tens of thousands of people worldwide, provoking and
inspiring them.
In September 2003, one of the 1000,
number 526, returned to Someguy, filled. What happened to the other
999? This film tells their stories. 1000 Journals shares the experience
of their worldwide journeys, and chronicles the self-governed
collaboration of thousands of random people who have added to this
global "message in a bottle."

About Cultural Kitchen
HI-ENEC established the Cultural Kitchen (CK) program to address the need for intercultural conflict resolution skill building and productive out-of-school activities for youth in Boston's increasingly diverse schools and communities. The Cultural Kitchen program aims to address this need by providing a constructive and fun after-school program with a focus on life skills such as healthy meal preparation, communication, and learning how to understand and appreciate similarities and differences, particularly with regards to race and culture.

About the Harambe Event Series
Harambe is a Swahili word that means "working together in unity" or "let's pull together". This concept is used to initiate projects that unite communities to pool their energy and resources towards a common goal while having a good time. The goal of the Harambe Event Series is to bring communities together to celebrate and learn about the world and its people in fun social settings, while raising funds to support Hostelling International's Cultural Kitchen program.
