Citizen21 is pleased to share in the following the outlines of the conference scheduled on UN day.
Purpose
The objective of the conference is twofolded.
We aim to uncover:
1) How private behavior has effects on the state of the community
2) How citizenship as an ideal can draw its strength from individual attitude
Another objective of the conference is to explore possible redefinitions of citizenship in this 21st Century where issues of environment, consumption, security, education, freedom are ever more pressing.
We would like to convey actors from the academic, corporate, socio-political and
cultural world to gather for a whole day and offer their perspectives while engaging with the audience through debates and workshops.
Outcome
The expected outcome is new insight about the public and private relations in the
exercise of citizenship.
It will be used as information and education material for schools, associations,
businesses and institutions.
It will also constitute a dynamic platform upon which we can further the debate and
engage other actors on the same topic to widen its scope and improve it.
Furthermore we intend to use the outcome as basis for concrete actions and initiatives where and whenever it is relevant and of benefit to the community.
Projected effects on Citizen21
It will provide a good opportunity for Citizen21 to be part of the debate and little
by little define itself and contribute to a purposeful exploration of the many avenues of citizenship available to us as a society.
The conference will also be an occasion to plant the seeds for the following campaign
that Citizen21 is preparing around the winter season.
