In support of this initiative, Dan Puric agreed to support this Conference, which intended, and succeded, to break the barrier between stage and audience and debated, in an interactive manner, some aspects of everyday life. The very theme, "About Love and Martyrs", attempted to revive the community's philanthropic spirit, to revive people who have forgotten to be human - to love, to want to live well, to understand who is the other man beside him.
