Worldwide Parks Origin of the project This project is part of Silo’s Message major project. In 2003 the idea arose that wherever the Message was being practiced – besides the small neighbourhood halls- there should be a location with a great reference hall where all the members of the Communities of the Message could held common ceremonies. The worldwide project of the Halls of the Message The project has been continuously adapted during the last year(2004) as the Message evolved. The original idea has been extended to a great multivalent hall for ceremonies, conferences, concerts, theatre performances, seminars, etc., accessible not only to those who are inspired by the spirit of the Message and Universal Humanism, but to anybody. Naturally the first step of the whole project will be the purchase of a sufficiently large piece of land, on which a monolith bearing the date of foundation will be erected for the inauguration. Our aspiration is to build as soon as possible five of these great Halls in different places of the planet which represent historical locations of passage for the inhabitants of the respective regions: South America, North and Central America, Asia, Europe and Africa. In addition to these five locations two other medium-sized halls are planned in Chile and Spain. |

In early 2004 a project was launched to build 'Community of the Message' Parks around the world. This ongoing project has been evolving in breadth and scope. Five major Parks will be built, one in each continent: North America (in California), South America (near Buenos Aires, Argentina), Europe (in Umbria, Italy), Africa (near Alexandria, Egypt) and Asia (near Mumbai,India). |

In most cases, the Parks will be part of a larger complex that encompasses the Park proper, a stainless steel monolith, a multi-use building, a fountain, etc. The following medium-size regional Parks are also being contemplated: Punta de Vacas, (Mendoza, Argentina), Manantiales (near Santiago, Chile) and Toledo (Spain). |
Major Parks are typically located in the outskirts of metropolitan areas and close to major road intersections. Parks are meant to to be places for the realization of ceremonies, conferences and other events.

Each Park is initially financed through a fundraising campaign. The money collected is then administered by a non-profit body which purchases the land, builds and maintains the complex. |
