  • Full and global coverage of our profession. Balanced representation of all theoretical and methodological approaches. Participants from the area of consulting, education, practicing leaders and social workers. A full-scale representation of all those generating and in general interested in the subjects of change, development and learning. A fair representation of all major international, regional and national organizations, associations and institutions actively involved in developing systems, organizations and communities.

  • Participants from all continents and all sectors, representing the specifics of the private, the government and the non-profit sphere too, using the opportunity to show to the World their own approach, the conceptual frameworks and the applied methodologies. Presentations from all sectors on different initiatives, projects and the ongoing efforts, the corresponding results and the achievements of the last decades.

  • The Initiative, (instead of concentrating only on organizing a 3-4 days long international event) is about getting involved in the co-creation of the World Summit, being an active and integral part of a 3-4 years long process leading to and following up the 2010 event.

  • The whole project is an experiment, a joint effort, a global journey of finding, using and promoting new and meaningful ways of international cooperation and self-governance - applying successfully and showing our community and the World some of the most promising concepts, approaches, technologies, co-operation and communication methods available.

  • The output is a better and shared understanding of the changes and the World around us, a universal and generally accepted (re)definition of our profession as a way of fostering human development in the World and a clear, renewed, joint declaration of our role and possible contribution in the 21st century.

  • Finally together we can make history as - instead of establishing a new organization, association or institution – we will all be part of strengthening the currently existing ones and in parallel assisting in the birth of the worldwide movement of ongoing global, cross-boarders, cross-cultures, cross-organizations communication and cooperation.
