Dear Colleagues<br>
<br>
This is the 50th year of ICA and the 35th of ICAI. Over the next
few months we will be looking at the next 50 as local ICA's and as
ICA International.<br>
<br>
I think all have been invited but I wanted to make sure. The
conference is scheduled Oct 29 - Nov 2 followed by and ICA Gathering
in Nov 3-4<br>
<br>
The context for each event is below<br>
<br>
With respect, Larry<br>
<br>
<b>ICAI global conference in Nepal context</b> for those
interested. <br>
<br>
Since 1984, the Institute of Cultural Affairs International has
hosted eight international conferences concerned with the human
factor in development and re-emergence of civil society. These
conferences were highly participatory and focused on practical
sharing of approaches that work. Interchange, dialogue and designing
creative responses to particular areas of concern in society is the
aim of all ICA conferences. <br>
Overarching Focus Question for this conference: What are the ideas
(models, practices, images, frameworks, strategies, etc.) for human
emergence that lead to a world that works?<br>
Focus areas are:<br>
Growing a New Sense of Leadership <br>
Building a Viable Future for Planet <br>
Building Strategies for Comprehensive Development <br>
Resourcing Human Development <br>
Peace Building and Good Governance <br>
Reshaping Education for the 21st Century <br>
<br>
We intend through collective exploration to discover and catalyze
approaches that work and to build personal and collaborative
commitment to act beneficially on behalf of the whole. <br>
<br>
This conference will go on virtually for at least 6 months but will
be physically grounded in Kathmandu Oct 29-Nov 2. All are welcome

<br>
<b>ICA Gathering</b><br>
<br>
context: This is intended as a deliberative event for the ICA's and
colleagues present to deliberate on the conference results and other
topics. This is not a decision making General Assembly. Our
general Assembly will be virtual on December 14.<br>
<br>
Any colleague in the world is invited to participate and share
questions, topics or input.<br>
<br>
With respect, Larry<br>
