- informed democratic participation at the local or national level

Lately I’ve been creating The European Summit for Global Transformation.
The event started when a small group of friends asked, “What would happen if we got together everyone we knew who’s up to big things on the planet?” The results have exceeded everyone’s expectations. TED Fellows, Huffington Post authors, entrepreneurs, educators, authors and activists meet in Rotterdam for an action-packed weekend. There’s a movement on the planet for sustainability and social justice. Changemakers gather at the European Summit to share resources and get inspired.
The European Summit for Global Transformation 2009 = Connection. Transformation. Action. We’d love to see you there.
