Global, Integral Education for the Global World

Question from the Internet:

“What urgent issues in society would you want to prioritize when given the chance to spearhead a program for development communication? Why?”

We evolved into a globally integrated and interdependent world.

We are in a deepening global crisis that is seemingly unsolvable as we simply cannot build the positive, constructive, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing cooperation our global problem-solving and survival depend on.

The pandemic and the impasse regarding climate change related problems serve as sharp proof among many other things.

We simply can’t rise above our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, subjective individualistic/nationalistic nature and we stubbornly, blindly keep on overconsuming while surviving, succeeding at each other’s and nature’s expense.

Thus the only issue that needs solving is our inability to rise above, act against our inherent instincts, tendencies, attitudes.

We have to use all the technological, communications capabilities to facilitate a global, integral education that can help us exist above and against our egos, so we could all safeguard humanity’s collective survival.
