Enabling local global participation

Growing individual involvement in more democratic societies, and increasing concern about global concerns, is a significant step towards social progress and development. On a more localized basis, these trends are mirrored in popular concern for a better quality of life based on human, moral and spiritual values, a sense of purpose and meaning, care for others and the natural world and a generally more holistic approach. Sophisticated economic and technological globalism is being complemented by people-centred grassroots globalism.
