AIM OF THE PROGRAM:
The program aims to inspire, motivate, encourage, and moreover,
force our imaginations and collective
conciousness to activate it effectively,
and 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 8 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. We should think of 2020, 2030 and 2050 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program will be embracing of readings of newly written/unpublished original poems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.
With a high hope the program will contribute to open up and elevate minds
and hearts for the common "noble goals," which will also
help us realize how to accomplish the MDG's and move BEYOND much more further in
favor of humanity!
The program aims to blend in newly written poems and scientific
ideas which are positively
constructed toward a great hope for 2015
and Beyond via our scientific, futuristic, and imaginary ideas in conjunction
with the selected World Poetry. It will aspire to redefine ideas in
universal contexts as well as create an
effective bridge between science and arts
to "foster positive connectivity", encourage "creativity",
lead to "care and love for others" between various disciplines
as well as for the ultimate goals. (Please see the premises of the Millennium Development
Goals: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/index.html)
Your participation via your newly written or unpublished poems
and selected ideas in science as well as selected poems from the World
