TRAINING WEEK PLAN
The EMERGE! 2010 International Training for Cultural Creatives aims to provide a space for young people to explore new possibilities of culture towards social transformation. Instead of being held hostage by political and economic interests, there is a need for Civil Society to recognize itself as the third societal force at work in the world, and to recognize that their power is cultural power. The creativity that is streaming from the future and which allows us to constantly find deeper meaning and identity, both as individuals and as groups.

New inspirations will draw us together. Out of a common spirit we can balance and revitalize the dying forms of Business and Traditional Politics. We are Civil Society – the third force in societal governance. We invite you to recognize and co-create this reality. Copenhagen has shown that we have yet to redirect the general course of decision-making. We must know our own power and become strong in it. It is time for the virtue of each individual to find its right place within the whole. It is time for Civil Society world-wide to recognize its right task within society, to emerge in its true form. Join us.
