Understanding the Globalization Project: 10 Essential Factors
In this thought-provoking seminar, we will embark upon an exploration of how and why the globalization project has become our dominant worldview and the unquestioned model for how we fashion our everyday lives. Using a systems approach and drawing on our own experiences, we will uncover 10 interrelated factors that are necessary for the implementation and perpetuation of the globalization project. With this greater understanding our group will exchange views on who benefits and who loses in this complex phenomenon and engage in a lively dialogue about alternative sustainable and equitable paths for our shared human future.
