World Dignity University description

In 2010, Evelin Lindner and Linda Hartling, together with other co-founders, presented plans for a World Dignity University initiative. In Part I, they lay out their vision of Building Equal Dignity through Excellence in Scholarship.

 
Toward this goal they propose building a World Dignity University as a Network of Networks. Finally, they present in Part III an Action Plan.

Our Vision

We are living in times when nothing short of global cooperation can successfully address the dire problems developing in the world today. Education provides the most promising path toward building “a global culture of cooperation,” a culture that advances the principles of mutual respect, equality in dignity, unity and diversity, and environmental stewardship, the progenitors of lasting peace.
 
We have come to believe that a “World Dignity University” — a human-to-human network of networks — is a powerful and highly practical approach to realizing an inclusive and creative model of learning. We invite educators, scholars, practitioners, activists, learners, and people from all walks of life, from all corners of the earth, to share responsibility for leading the world toward greater cooperation by joining us in founding the first World Dignity University.
