The Schurmann Family: From Global Voyages to a Worldwide Mission for Ocean Protection
ALLATRAAt COP-30, the international public movement ALLATRA met with the renowned Schurmann Family from Brazil — legends of global sea exploration and ocean protection. For more than 40 years, they have been studying the world from the water, completing four round-the-world expeditions, documenting the state of the oceans, and drawing attention to global pollution. The Schurmann Family stands at the origins of modern environmental education: Vilfredo and Heloisa, from the very beginning, undertook sea expeditions with their three children, introducing them to maritime culture, travel, and research. Later, Heloisa became a well-known writer, creating books about sea adventures and the importance of protecting nature. The family also founded the educational center Voice of the Ocean, which conducts research, environmental projects, and educational programs focused on marine protection. The center hosts scientific events, collaborates with universities and research institutes, and conducts projects on microplastic pollution and its influence on oceans and ecosystems. During the meeting aboard their vessel, ALLATRA participants were able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of an actual research expedition. The Schurmann Family shared their many years of experience observing plastic and microplastic pollution, spoke about the most alarming trends, and explained how traces of human activity are becoming increasingly visible even in the open ocean. This exchange of knowledge became a valuable contribution to the shared understanding of the global problem and possible solutions. Heloisa Schurmann spoke at COP-30, sharing the family’s experience in ocean protection and the importance of environmental education. As part of the conference, the Voice of the Ocean center also hosted thematic events and meetings dedicated to addressing ocean pollution and exploring solutions to protect marine environments. Over the years of travel and dedicated work, the family has made a significant contribution to raising global awareness about ocean pollution and the necessity of sustainable human interaction with nature. Their mission inspires people around the world, showing that anyone can become “a voice of the ocean” and contribute to protecting the planet. The Schurmann Family — Vilfredo and Heloisa Schurmann, along with their children Pierre, David, and Wilhelm — is known as the first Brazilian family to circumnavigate the globe on a sailing vessel. Heloisa, herself a sailor who later became a writer, and their son David, a media professional, have brought the dramatic changes occurring in the oceans to the attention of a broad audience through books, documentary films, and media projects. Drawing on their experience, the initiative Voice of the Oceans was launched. Together with international partners, the Schurmanns document plastic and microplastic pollution, support scientific research, and conduct educational work dedicated to ocean protection.

Anticult Network: Human Rights Violations and Threat to Democracy | OSCE 2025
ALLATRA📍 In October 2025, at the OSCE Warsaw Human Dimension Conference, an important statement was delivered by Dušan Valeček, representative of ALLATRA International Public Movement from the Czech Republic. His speech addressed the topic “Anticult Network: Human Rights Violations and Destruction of Democracy.” The ALLATRA representative spoke about the large-scale system of persecution, incitement of hatred within society, and discrimination imposed under the slogan of “combating cults and sects.” According to Dušan Valeček, this network is linked to the Russian organization RACIRS and its European platform FECRIS coordinated from Moscow. ⚠️ Under the guise of “fighting dangerous cults and sects,” a campaign is waged against religious minorities, human rights advocates, independent journalists, politicians, and private individuals. According to the facts presented, anticult entities that receive funding and political support already face accusations of sexual abuse, exploitation of vulnerable people, and interference in the work of government institutions. 🎙 In his address at the OSCE plenary session, Dušan Valeček emphasized that if European countries fail to ensure a legal assessment of anticult activities, democracy in Europe can face a real threat. He called for ending the impunity of anticult networks and raising the issue of their accountability to the legislative level.23 views -

World Changers Summit — Vatican 2025: Dialogue of Science, Faith, and Humanity | АLLATRA TV
ALLATRAOn October 21 and 22, 2025, in the spiritual heart of the world — the Vatican — the 10th Anniversary of the World Changers Summit: Transcendence. Unveiling the Future of Humanity took place under the patronage of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and with the support of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (IASC). The Summit brought together distinguished scientists, leaders, diplomats, and spiritual figures from around the globe to discuss the future of humanity and the role of technology, ethics, education, and spiritual values. The founder and inspirer of the Summit is Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli — philosopher, humanist, and visionary, President of the IASC, who promotes international cooperation in the fields of science, diplomacy, and ethics. Particular attention was drawn to the address by Pastor Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, one of the most influential religious leaders of our time, and founder of the international Spiritual Diplomacy initiative, which unites representatives of different faiths in the name of peace, mutual respect, and the protection of human dignity. His inspiring speech, which opened the first plenary session of the Summit, sounded like a call for unity and interfaith dialogue. The Summit also featured Maryna Ovtsynova, President of ALLATRA International Public Movement — a global alliance of scientists, experts, and professionals from more than 180 countries, who work on a voluntary basis to find scientific solutions to climate and humanitarian challenges, promote the ethics of cooperation, and protect human rights. One of the highlights of the Summit was the formal presentation of Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli’s book “Transcendence: Quantum Computing, AI, and the Future of Humanity.” The event took place in the very heart of Rome — at the Princess Salons of Palazzo Brancaccio, one of the city’s last remaining princely residences. In his book, Professor Andreoli raises the question of humanity’s moral responsibility amid rapid scientific progress. The presentation was followed by a substantive panel discussion with leading representatives of the Vatican, scholars, and spiritual leaders, including Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia and the author himself, Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli. The Summit concluded with a solemn Mass at the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto, celebrated by His Excellency Monsignor Antonio Staglianò, President of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. This event symbolized the emergence of a new form of global leadership founded on spiritual and ethical values — a leadership where faith meets intellect, and science aligns with moral responsibility. ALLATRA International Public Movement expresses its sincere gratitude to Professor Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli and Pastor Dr. Mark Burns for their outstanding contribution to the development of interfaith and humanitarian dialogue that unites nations, traditions, and cultures in the name of peace, kindness, and a creative future for all humanity.
