Innovation - this theme echos at all levels of learning and present-day action. We are seeking a new model, a new way of living that relates to the consciousness that has been rising in recent decades at an exponential rate. To translate this consciousness into action, into institutions, organizations and social dynamics that can give sense and dignity, is the concern of educators, sociologists, scientists, diplomats, religious believers and opinion-makers.
If inter-dependence is fundamental to all that exists, where is space for autonomy? In a world that has become globalized, is it possible to preserve identity and traditions without falling into fundamentalism? How can we escape chronic indignation and denunciation in order to participate in reparation? Knowing that our natural resources are being depleted, how can we justify the manufacture and consumption of products that we don't really need? Is there a margin of tolerance for contradictions? These questions are new, for situations for which there is no historical precedent, for which there are no quick and easy answers, but it is necessary that we reflect on them.
The ethic of responsibility, in the conditions of a democratic project, mobilizes the civil society to organize in many ways to fulfill not only our basic necessities of life, but also our aspirations: a future that prospers in solidarity, respect, mutual confidence, and the feeling of significance and engagement.
