CONCEPT OF THE DREAMS FOR HUMANITY:
Through the DREAMS FOR HUMANITY television programs, the LMTV aims to inspire, motivate, encourage, and moreover, stir our dream and imaginations towards contributing to awareness and activating of our collective consciousness.
In order to close the huge global inequality and injustice gap in between with the %1 and 99 percent, we urgently need to activate all our common potentials in positive/constructive dreams, visions, and energies in terms of prompting visualizing the world as a whole as well as each of us a part of that whole.
All the greatest as well as worst things in the world have emerged with a spark of idea, inspiration, dream or vision in the mind of mankind since the down of the humanity. That also mirrored to both the greatest and worst things also have been executed in the mind of mankind!
The concept of the "Dreams for Humanity" written and presented by Bircan Unver.
