Program Elements 2009 & beyond
Policy Action Sessions – TGS’ voluntary Policy Action Sessions unite representatives from 6 PIE sectors, conventional policy makers (heads of state, business leaders) with grass-roots stakeholders to ensure the voices of those most affected by climate change, AIDS, and poverty are heard. In a shift from representative to citizen direct democracy, TGS applies advances in communications technology and conflict mediation for transparent, equitable and measurable results. Agreements made will be supported publicly via the 1PIE Portal.
SEE Change Forum – Social, Economic and Environmental workshops, plenary sessions and community dialogues emphasize experiential learning and action for a healthier, culturally rich and bio-diverse world. Inviting organizations and visionaries from all PIE sectors to share their wisdom, this forum is tailored to empower both newly inspired and veteran change makers to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Sustainable Technology Expo –To catalyze immediate climate change solutions & sustainable economic development, TGS Sustainable Tech Expo promotes awareness, development, and exchanges of the most green, clean and grass-roots friendly technologies in energy, transportation, health, agriculture, & education. Peer review awards and investment forums highlight what works best to businesses, public representatives, and international development organizations.
