Our strategy

THE EMERGENCE OF A WORLD COMMUNITY

The Foundation’s strategy is defined every two years. The current strategy concerns the 2006–2007 period. It was established by the Foundation Council in January 2006.

The biennial strategies are the implementation of long-term guidelines. The current guidelines were determined by the Foundation Council at the end of the sabbatical period of reflection in 2002 and 2003. They concern the 2004–2010 period.

These guidelines were strongly influenced by the conclusions of the World Citizens Assembly, held by the Foundation in December 2001 in the context of the Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World. The following in particular were drawn from this: the idea of socially responsible alliances, the Charter of Human Responsibilities, the Agenda for the Twenty-first century.

The guidelines are summed up in the following passage:

"The Foundation is committed to contributing to the long-term transformations of our societies. For this purpose, it supports the emergence of a world community capable of designing and conducting three major transformations: new social, political, and institutional regulations from the local to the global (the governance revolution); a common ethical foundation (the Charter of Human Responsibilities); and new development models. It seeks a constant coming and going between diversity (expressed in its different dimensions), and unity (expressed through a constant attention to the management of relations and to territorial consistency). To implement these guidelines it combines three forms of action: promoting ideas and proposals; backing the emergence of socially responsible alliances; and the promotion and improvement of methods."

The 2006–2007 strategy is based on four sections that provide four doors into the action as a whole. These are:

- Methodological

- Geographical
- Socio-professional
- Thematic
