Ovaj međunarodni seminar okupio je više od 40 sudionika i to iz Afrike, Latinske Amerike i Europe, a po prvi put održava se u Rusiji, istaknuo je SIGNIS-ov koordinator za televiziju Ricardo Yáñez.

“Jedna od glavnih tema ovog seminara je dijalog među Crkvama i među kulturama, i sretni smo što smo po prvi put u Rusiji jer je Sankt Petersburg oduvijek bio vrlo važno mjesto za uspostavu dijaloga među kulturama i narodima“, istaknuo je Yáñez.

SIGNIS-ov seminar u Sankt Petersburgu organiziran je na poziv kršćanske filmske i televizijske produkcijske kuće Blagovest-Media, a na seminaru će po prvi put biti predstavljena Laudato TV. Program i ciljeve nove obiteljske televizije koja se osniva u Hrvatskoj, predstavit će direktorica Ksenija Abramović.

„Seminar je mjesto susreta na kojem upoznajemo nove ljude i njihove projekte, i jako smo sretni što ove godine na seminaru po prvi put sudjeluje nova televizija iz Hrvatske“, rekao je Yáñez.

Istaknuo je kako je za uspjeh najvažnije biti otvoren prema svima.

„Najvažniji je susret, svi misle kako je to nešto jednostavno, ali uopće nije. Jako je važno kada se uspije ostvariti susret ljudi iz cijeloga svijeta jer se tada otvaramo novim mogućnostima, razgovaramo o drugačijim pogledima i to nas obogaćuje“, zaključio je Yáñez.

SIGNIS seminar in St Petersburg on the theme “Dialogue of Churches, Dialogue of Cultures“
 
Catholic TV producers and broadcasters gathered by SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communication, are taking part at the 13th SIGNIS seminar  from 23 to 26 June 2014 in St Petersburg. Over 40 participants from Africa, Latin America and Europe met at this international seminar which is the first SIGNIS event organized in Russia, as Ricardo Yáñez, SIGNIS TV desk coodinator, said.
 
“One of the major themes of the seminar is 'Dialogue of Churches, Dialogue of Cultures' and we are happy to be here in Russia for the first time because St Petersburg has always been an important place for establishing dialogue between cultures and nations“, Yáñez said.
 
The SIGNIS partner in the organization of this event is the Christian film and television production company Blagovest-Media. At the seminar Laudato TV will be introduced for the first time. The program and goals of this new family television which is being founded in Croatia will be presented by Ksenija Abramović, the CEO of Laudato TV.
 
“The seminar is a great opportunity to meet new people and introduce their projects and we are very happy that this year a new television from Croatia is participating,“ Yáñez said.
 
He also emphasized that the most important thing for the success is to be open to everyone.
 
“The most important thing is to meet people. Everyone thinks that is easy, but it's not at all. When people from all over the world meet and share, we are becoming more open to new possibilities by discussing different views and that enriches us all,“ Yáñez concluded.
