Venue: Silver Oak, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi
An international group of thinkers and scholars, diplomats, activists and civil servants come together to seek a deeper understanding of how to bring about changes in the present environment and enquire into the kind of institutional mechanisms that need to be put in place to foster human solidarity. Special emphasis will be laid on various visions and projects, the role of diplomacy in the conflict-ridden world and on various renditions of the idea of compassion as a common value along with their practical implications. Focus will be also on how science and technology can contribute to situations afflicted by water and food crisis, disease and war in order to sustain the goal of 'human solidarity'.
The aim of the programme is to foster a conversation that leads us to appreciate differences within national and international context, while promoting the kind of understanding that can foster a sense of Human Solidarity, that help us to mediate between the marginalized and the dominant groups in different contexts, while recognizing the criteria of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, gender, class and others.
Confirmed eminent speakers at the conference are Samdhong Rinpoche, Gianni Vattimo, Sol Katz, Dirk Evers, Reinhold Bernhardt, Roberto Toscano, R. Jahanbegloo, G. Giacomelli, Bob Carroll, Homi Dhalla, Ashgar A.Engineer, C. R. Gharekhan, Lokesh Chandra, Karan Singh and Anindita N. Balslev.
