Swedish Radio P1(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_Radio_P1draw a new World History in 365 days. A contemporary five-minute piece on the day of a man who demonstrated courage.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Raoul Wallenberg's birth(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_Wallenberg) gives Living History Forum out a calendar with 365 names of people who put their lives on the line for human rights, freedom and democracy. One name per day in 2013. The idea for the 365 names originally came from the researcher and anthropologist Brian Palmer(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Palmer_(social_anthropologist) ) for several years, began his lecture by talking about a man with courage. After extensive work with many people involved (see http://www.levandehistoria.se/raoulwallenbergkalendern for details), and a collaboration with the Swedish PEN author  Ola Larsmo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ola_Larsmo) wrote all 365 names. This is what has inspired Radio Theatre. Every day we send a piece that is inspired by the person or events contained in the Forum's calendar. We also cooperate with the County theaters throughout Sweden. From north to south goes Radio Theatre team. Voices from all over Sweden will be heard.
