A Growing World Community - by Marina Urquidi
What exactly are we aiming at? It may not be easy to say in a few words, but with all those amazing things you are all doing all over the world, in a multitude of fields, through all different walks of life, the keywords here are "linking," "experience sharing," "mutual reinforcement," and ... "emergence of a world community." No less! The conviction is that the planet’s survival, the human (...)
We’re Here for You - by Marina Urquidi
The fantastic thing about the Internet is the way information gets around. The fantastic thing about information getting around, is that it makes people realize that somehow, they are not alone in their struggle. That every day, more people from every walk of life (and this is important), in every region of the world, are becoming increasingly aware that the time for change is now. And that (...)
Poetry in Motion - by Marina Urquidi
Change is in the air, the answer is (still) blowing in the wind, and we are the ones blowing!

Do you sometimes (...)
Alive and Kicking! - by Marina Urquidi
It’s been a long time ... almost two years, now, since we’ve sent out a proper "What’s New?"! And how nice to be able to do so! What has happened in this time lapse? Well, among others, the FPH designed a new 10-year strategy whereby it would be shifting its substantial support of the Alliance as such to the emergence of a world community and proposed that the Alliance should adopt a (...)
Networks in Motion - by Marina Urquidi
In keeping with the new Alliance spirit, which emphasizes decentralization and autonomy, or unity in diversity, this month’s A21 newsletter gives much greater importance to news coming from our networks. Active allied workgroups, whether socioprofessional networks, thematic workgroups or geocultural workgroups, are… busy, busy, busy ! Busy acting, busy circulating useful information, busy (...)
