CALL for "2015 & Beyond in Science
& Arts"
(Dated: October 1, 2006)
AIM OF THE PROGRAM:
The program aims to inspire, motivate, encourage, and moreover,
force our imaginations and collective
consciousness to activate them effectively,
and to reform our collective energy for
achieving the Millennium Development Goals
as well as envisioning it BEYOND 2015!
So far, we haven't made any major progress
towards 2015; instead we have taken steps
mostly backwards since 2000. Therefore,
the next 9 years is a very short term
in human development to achieve such noble
goals. For this reason, we urgently need
to activate all our common potentials,
visions, and energy towards prompting
this process as well as being able to
visualize BEYOND 2015. Thus, we also aim
to present ideas beyond 2015 which will
be our real inheritance to our children
and grandchildren!
PREMISE OF THE PROGRAM:
As premise of the "2015 & BEYOND in SCIENCE & ARTS"
program will be embracing of readings
of newly written/unpublished original
poems and anthologized poetry in conjunction
with scientific ideas/quotations by
poets, scientist, students, and presenters from various disciplines,
cultures and countries in an inspirational
and motivational ways. It will aspire
to redefine ideas in universal contexts
and to build an effective bridge between
science and arts to "foster positive
connectivity", encourage "creativity"
within these disciplines, as well as
for the ultimate purpose.
