Abstract:
This is the 2008 yearbook of the Worldconnectors. The Worldconnectors are a group of people with diverse backgrounds who dedicate themselves in different ways to a just and sustainable society at all levels, from local to global. They have backgrounds in business, the NGO sector, government, knowledge centres, media and international organisations and they are opinion leaders in their field. Whatever their background or age, they all share the ambition for the Netherlands to play a proactive role in the global community. They are willing to contribute to this ambition by speaking on matters related to international solidarity, global sustainable development and universal responsibility in their own networks and in public. The Worldconnectors meet four times a year at a Round Table to engage in cross-sector dialogue with each other on relevant themes. The central aim is to influence the political agenda and the policy debate in the Netherlands from a global perspective. Another goal is to reinforce a global mindset among the Dutch public.
