Alliance - WCA - Calendar

The works of the Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World shifted into high gear in the course of 2000-2001. The Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation for the Progress of Humankind allocated an exceptional budget to its work program. The pre-existing Thematic Workshops and Socioprofessional Networks fixed a work program that would allow them each to draft a Proposal Paper previous to the Lille Assembly. The Alliance was enlarged through the integration of other social and professional spheres by setting up fifteen new "socioprofessional networks." Five Continental Assemblies were held simultaneously in June 2001. Working methods were enhanced, detailed, standardized, and circulated.
The World Assembly leads, in 2002, to a new stage of the Alliance.

The working methods

Closing speech by Pierre Calame (about the new stage) |
The speech pronounced at the closing ceremony of the World Citizens Assembly includes two parts. The first describes the working process of the Assembly. It was broken up into four stages: a statement of the necessary mutations by each of the twenty socioprofessional groups; considerations by each of the twenty socioprofessional groups on the Charter of Human Responsibilities; a selection of seventeen major themes reflecting the convergence of the proposals by the different socioprofessional groups and an outline of a strategy for each of these themes; elaboration of a plan of action for the themes judged to be important. The second part presents the possible next stage of the Alliance after the Assembly.
