WPC International Annual Congress works on the principles of dialogue set forth by the late physicist David Bohm, who postulated that conversation between people and nations requires confronting our own prejudices and fears, and then working together to create a shared idea. At the conference, participants dialogue in small groups and eventually vote on action plans. All that dialoguing to be put on the group's Web site (www.worldpeacecongress.info) so that people around the world can also vote on the initiatives.
Impetus for the congress began with Rajani K. Kanth, Professor of Political Economy and Social Anthropology, who is currently a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University. "I think our governments have failed us," says Kanth. "So maybe we have to figure out a way to do it ourselves ... not just (non-governmental organization) to NGO but individual to individual."
His hope, he says, is that the people who attend our Annual Conference — take the process to their own governments, which might eventually "remove war as a tool of policy."
