In the 21st century citizens, companies, voluntary organisations and government need to recreate the future at a time when there is common concern for the sustainability of both our planet and the people on it.
Public Engagement
GlobalNet21 was formed in April 2007 to discuss some of the great issues of the 21st century and then follow this up with further debate and action. It is about enlarging the Public Square where debate takes place using social networks to engage new audiences both locally and globally. In over four years we have grown rapidly involving a large number of people and organisations interested in recreating our future.
Social Networks
Using social networks we have attracted new audiences of people who are concerned about our future. In the UK we hold public engagement meetings regularly that are well attended and involve citizens, NGO’s, corporations and decision makers. These meetings are held in different venues including the House of Commons. Our discussions have now gone global with the addition of webinars and podcasts.
Resource Base
In attracting new audiences we have now established a growing network of organisations and people that provide a rich resource base for change in the 21st century. With this resource we are now able to develop a rich programme of events, match organisations with specific needs, provide training in many areas of social and corporate change and create a new culture of social responsibility.
Knowledge Transfer
We are now also working with a number of Universities and Institutes of Higher Education to find innovative ways of transferring knowledge to communities, organisations and companies. Combining the Knowledge Base of Universities with the Public Engagement of Globalnet21 can be very powerful. By the use of webinars, podcasts and a growing knowledge base we design learning for the challenges of the future rather than the needs of the past.
Social Responsibility Plus
The 21st century is one where social responsibility will be centre stage. Whether we are citizens, voluntary associations, companies or decision makers, our future depends on working together to a common purpose to confront the problems facing our planet. Today the Public Square is global and involves us all. Finding ways of working together is the challenge of our present century.
