Establishing a Global Network of Cultural Organizations
WCO recognizes and values the world's unique cultural assets through building a global network of cultural organizations and cultural centers for advancing peace and harmony on earth. Culture has a unique power to connect. WCO believes that culture has the capacity to connect one person to another person, a community to another community, and a nation to another nation. For this capacity, culture is the first critical step to inter-national, inter-cultural dialogues, providing common ground for mutual understanding, that can transcend national and political boundaries and enables a more sustainable and synergistic development of a global community. To this aim, WCO develops forums and global networks for cultural exchange and intercultural dialogue.
Establishing a Culture of Holistic Wellbeing
When constructing sustainable, balanced, value-based societies, one must ensure that the foundation is comprised of healthy, sound individuals. Such a society can be achieved only when each individual develops a state of health that incorporates body, mind and spirit in balance-an ideal, WCO believes that all cultures are ultimately striving to create. |
