INTERDEPENDENCE
DAY September
12
| |
"The
reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small
planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences
and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.
" ~ The Dalai Lama |
Interdependence Day, acknowledges
and celebrates the truth that we are all connected, and that when one thread in
the web of life is sundered, all are diminished. Everyone benefits when equity
and mutual respect prevail. Interdependence Day is a day of celebration, information
and action. This annual event was launched by We The World in 2002 at the at the
Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development to celebrate the interconnection
and interdependence of all life on our planet. Since
2002, Interdependence Day has grown into a major part of the 11 Days of Global
Unity (September 11-21), a worldwide promotion of peace and sustainability. The
Global Declaration of Interdependence, a document you can sign online, has also
become an important unifying symbol of the global movement for a better world. Interdependence
