- Training For Trusteeship 2009
-
Nov. 19 - 22, 2009
- The concept of trusteeship for the future is fundamental to human welfare, yet scarcely receives attention in today’s educational curricula. This concept, which is stressed alike by religion, philosophy and law, underlines the fact that every generation, far from being in a position of ownership or overlordship, is in a position of trusteeship for generations yet to come. Unfortunately it is the concept of dominion rather than trusteeship which is prevalent throughout the world.
