A Ceremony is born
<\/strong>This is how I remember the first Our Uniting Water Ceremony at Stockholm Concert Hall 1990\nLight faded in the auditorium. Silence fell. A tiny, searching ray of light caught the audience. The light reached the spherical crystal bowl seemingly hanging free in he air. Shadows moved towards the bowl, stopped and moved again. Slowly the ice became visible hidden in the steam. The shadows were children coming together. They held cups of water in their hands. One after the other they came up to the crystal bowl shaped as a dewdrop. You could hear the purling when the children poured their water into the bowl.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our Uniting Water invites children to share their concern for water \u2013 with one another and decision makers of the world. \u2013 Without water there is no life on Earth. Today the Crystal Bowl contains water from all nations of the world.<\/p>

Local Water Ceremonies
\nOur Uniting Water has been the start of environmental programs and projects in schools and for the whole municipality. Children who have roots in other countries bring water from their home land and tell about the water situation \u2013 similarities and differences. The Ceremony inspire young and old to talk together of what is important in Life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A few adults have been invited to give water to the children\u2019s crystal bowl;
\nUN Secretary General Kofi Annan took water from the fountain outside the UN Head Quarters in New York for Our Uniting Water Ceremony at the Globe Arena in Stockholm 1998.
\nAstronauts and cosmonauts were the children\u2019s guests of honour at the Future Vessel Event in Stockholm and brought water that has been in orbit in space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
