Alliance for a responsible, plural and united world

World citizens assembly
Lille – December 2-10, 2001

	Socioprofessional Group

	POLITICAL PERSONALITIES

A rather homogeneous group of participants with a high degree of responsibility : the collegial effect is very clear. There is a good group dynamics : very rich exchanges despite the language barrier. 

There is a strong will to participate and discuss, hence a little frustration due to the very directive methods of animation that were proposed. In spite of that, the group accepts the method of the “Post-It” and plays the game.

There are difficulties to catch the notion of committees and particularly the representation committee which is badly understood (to replace with values, knowledge ?)

Result of the Post-It structuring

1 – Representation (values knowledge)

To head for more equality
To be more open, more tolerant
To better share wealth and progress, to show more solidarity
To have more independent and more ethics-respectful medias

2 – Economics, Society

To make poverty vanish
To better manage modernity and the development of the new technologies
To ensure the effective and free circulation of people, goods and services
To have a better, more efficient and fairer regulation of the market.

3 – Governance

To develop and protect local democracy
To have at our disposal better world-wide regulating systems (more efficient than the present ones., a court, …)
To balance the development of regional, national and worldwide democracy
To protect peace and have it respected (a department of peace, a court…)
To have companies take part in the world governance

4 – Mankind biosphere

To better manage natural resources and the refuse
To educate and make one aware of one’s responsibilities about the sharing of natural resources.
To get the respect of the right to and the equity in the access to resources consumption.
