Dear Colleagues
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.
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
The context for each event is below
With respect, Larry
*ICAI global conference in Nepal context* for those interested.
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. 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? Focus areas are: Growing a New Sense of Leadership Building a Viable Future for Planet Building Strategies for Comprehensive Development Resourcing Human Development Peace Building and Good Governance Reshaping Education for the 21st Century
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.
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 http://www.virtual.ica-nepal.org/ or http://conference.ica-nepal.org/
*ICA Gathering*
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.
Any colleague in the world is invited to participate and share questions, topics or input.
