About Us
21st Century Network was set up to discuss some of the great
issues of our millennium and bring back the hope that we can
do something about it. We try to link citizens together around
common 21st century causes and bring them in touch with decision
makers globally and thus give new energy to democracy and
social action.
We are the organizers of 21st Century Network and we would
like to invite you to take part.
The aim of 21st Century Network is to get people talking
about the major issues of the 21st century again in a way
that creates hope for the future. Many people in political
parties have told us they no longer talk about politics as
their parties become more interested in power, focus groups,
marketing and spin. It is important to engage people across
parties and nation states in discussing issues that have immense
importance for our lives and those of our children. From these
discussions in real meetings and online we hope we can encourage
people into social action and community engagement.
We also hope to involve politicians too as their
power has become less and less as decisions are taken by global
bodies unaccountable to local decision makers. There is a
common alliance waiting to be made between politicians and
global communities if only politicians can shake off their
conventional tribal behaviour and form new partnerships that
reflect 21st Century concerns.
21st Century Network is an alliance of like
minded people seeking solutions and action in a century of
unprecedented challenges for the planet on which we live.
