The birth of new Culture and the rise of Civil Society to its rightful place.

Now is the hour.
We face an ever‐deepening global crisis – economic, social, environmental – a crisis we have created.

To overcome it we will have to overcome ourselves –
we will have to transcend the thinking that created these problems.
It is only in each one of us that a new thinking can take hold.
It is only in each one of us that a living culture can be born.
New inspirations will draw us together.
Out of a common spirit we can balance and revitalize the dying forms of
Business and Traditional Politics.
We are Civil Society – the third force in societal governance.
We invite you to recognize and co‐create this reality.
Copenhagen has shown that we have yet to redirect
the general course of decision‐making.
We must know our own power and become strong in it.
It is time for the virtue of each individual to find its right place within the whole.
It is time for Civil Society world‐wide to recognize its right task within society,
to emerge in its true form.
