As the primary initiative of WICPER, the aim of these workshops is to train future leaders in the concept that they have duties to the community, to the environment and to future generations. The concept of trusteeship is emphasized to bring home to them the notion of responsible management of our inherited culture and resources for the benefit of those who are to come after us.
The objective of the Training for Trusteeship workshops are to inspire youth to do what they can as individuals and future leaders to change their countries for the better by working across the cultural, religious, disciplinary and institutional divide in serving their communities.
The participants of these workshops receive insights as to how they can work together and are encouraged to initiate projects within their capacity so as to bring about a positive change in our society.
“We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations.”
