Message to World’s Civil Society, Media, Educators, Corporate Representatives and Children

If not us – Who?
If not now – When?
If not together – How?

 Our World is divided and conflict-torn, socially and ecologically unsustainable. We cannot remain as we are, nor can we go back to the conditions of the past. We can only move forward, but not on the same path we have been following till now. We need to find a new direction for our individual and collective future through cooperation, mutual understanding and collective action. Finding a new path is a major challenge, but it can be met.

The 4th Global Symposium aims to strengthen cooperation among the civil society and media to unite their efforts in world interest and to act and achieve our common goals by laying a strong foundation of a nuclear-free, democratic, sustainable, just and peaceful world order by bringing together inter governmental agencies, global leaders, civil society organizations, corporate representatives, media and children.

The Global Symposium will assemble the innovative ideas and creative experiences of non-governmental and international organizations and all sectors of civil society and articulate a vision for the future that recognizes the fundamental interdependence of humanity and suggests ways to move forward towards a New World.

The Conference aims to create a widespread awareness about issues like scarcity of safe drinking water, reform of governmental and corporate structures, more equitable distribution of resources, and development of renewable energy programs and encourage dialogue to replace international conflict for achieving a breakthrough by creating a sustainable future.

The Global Symposium will act on all these suggestions above and constitute a BREAKTHROUGH 2007 -2012 team. The BREAKTHROUGH team will be constituted as a group of active thinkers, active doers and active achievers who will come together at Global Symposium in December 2007 and through joint effort, coordination and networking will endeavour to awaken planetary consciousness for a New World. 

I look forward to meet you at the Global Symposium in December 2007, let us work together!

 

Yours for humanity,
