about a year and a half ago I was taking
an unexpected professional decision
unexpected and who she is totally
upset my life indeed a year ago
and half I made a decision that
was inspired motivated animated by this
question
what new vision will allow us to
21st century to take a step
additional in the progress of
humanity towards its prosperity for
the establishment of world peace
so at that time I was I
practiced as a registered lawyer
at the bar of paris
and then for almost 20 years
I was more of a volunteer on my time
free in an association that has
given mission to accompany the
processes that will
the establishment of world peace
this association the rwi institute opens
works around the world with
activities with children loans
young people and adults for
accompany them to make them responsible for
that we realize that we can
to be actors of change
and one evening in May a year ago and
half when we had just finished
current files
the director of one of the structures
administrative proposes me informs me in
does it have to take other
responsibilities and that members of the
advice
we thought menou but to take the
relay then pass the stage of the
surprise and shock of this new I
had to make a decision to follow
in my professional career in
which I bloom knows where me
devote entirely
and totally devoted to me during a
number of years to this cause
who finally if I listen around me
is utopian idealistic illusory is this
that we can actually change
things is what we really can
establish world peace and I had
this belief that peace is
today not only possible but
which is
avoidable especially this I tell myself if we
look at the course of history
the history of humanity is marked
milestone step that we have crossed
step that allowed each of them
to allow a progress of humanity
these steps are sometimes discoveries
scientists innovations sometimes
also they are the consequence of
crisis but each of these steps to
change our way of thinking our fashion
Action
our relationship our interactions one
with others and our aspirations
take for example the question
migration and displacement
how are these events
have made people aware of the
richness that make up the diversity that
composed humanity take the
environmental issues the crisis
but also the
technological advances allow us
today to think and seek
alternatives to protect
the environment as well as the
globalization today that is
present in all aspects of our
life our economic life our life
private our social life and there is still
some time globalization was
totally impossible to imagine the
company was formed tribal clan
family so all these evolutions we
allow us today to tell us that
peace is not only possible but
that it is inevitable then obviously
peace can not be just a
word a theory an Ivorian proverb says
peace is not an empty word it’s a
behavior then indeed if we want
to live in a just and prosperous society
we have to be the actors if we
want a reunified peaceful society
Is not it ours?
change but also to allow a
change of society
finally the learning acquired at
course of all these years in this
association allowed to take
aware that we are the
beneficiaries of society but we in
are also the initiators of this
society in which we live that we
are responsible for society in
which we are in which we
live
but also from society that we
let’s leave
so what are these behaviors
what are the steps to take for
can go to this peace because it is
obvious that we can not stay
at the theory stage but it takes
act how did we manage to put
it is obvious that there are milestones
yet to reach before you can
reach this world peace of milestones
can be identified
the unity of mankind a first
step and therefore to become aware that
we are one and the same entity
one and the same family the family
human and not new threshold and of
to establish this unity of the human race
a second milestone is that of the
prosperity easy material prosperity
but also spiritual prosperity and
each of its milestones calls for a vision
new
a new vision of this concept but
also a new vision of our role
of the role we can play for
reach that milestone its milestones that are going
then allow us to reach the
world peace so what vision
new could we have unity
of the human race
we are as I said today
aware that humanity is constituted
of great diversity diversity
cultural linguistic diversity
religious diversity sexual diversity
and it is this diversity that makes the
richness of this world in which we
live
but how to live in this diversity
how to handle interactions in this
world so diverse
so he is I think we’ll be
agree with me obvious that the conflict
and the opposition can not be the
social rule of our humanity
so how could we create
unity within so many members
various in the same family
I would like in thirty-one analogy that
I find very telling
the analogy of the human body consider
let’s look at the human body how is it
consisting of cell organs
different forms of functions
different from different responsibility
no organ and no cell can
live out of the human body because the
viability of each organ and each
it depends on the overall health of the
human body as well as the health of the
human body depends on the viability of
every cell and every little organ
any size regardless of their
responsibilities each cell each
organ is indispensable to the good
operation of the whole by
extension is what we could
consider that the well-being of each
segment of the population the well-being of
every individual of every family people
depends on the well-being of the whole
humanity is what we could
consider that the prosperity of each
individual depends on the prosperity of
all
but then if we go into this
direction how do we define
prosperity what is the
prosperity is what you already have
tried to think about cap and the
prosperity and I’m doing the exercise of
look for movies at the nimes to prosperity
the first words that come out his
wealth wealth fortune makes it the
prosperity we tend to the
define by economic indicators
materialist we gauge prosperity
because we have the goods we have
disposition
some companies have reached this
that today we define by the
prosperity but then do this
prosperity has allowed us today
to be happy I tend to think
we live in a society today
overconsumption overconsumption of
of course food consumption
overconsumption of pleasure we could
think we have achieved prosperity
since we reached this well-being
material finally that one seeks
but are we happy and
especially we have reached
a universal material prosperity is
what ultimately this bulimia
materialistic in which we live
do not hide more frustration
deep questions we
have not yet found a response from
questions like who we are
for what purpose do we exist how do we
should we be able to live our lives
and how we should act one
with the others
so these questions I’m not
certainly not the only one to ask me
take into account another dimension
that material I’m definitely not
the only one to be in this in this
Looking at some of reflection
problematic today that are at
heart of the action of individuals
of associations of ng the rights of
the man the fight against prejudices the
environmental protection the economy
solidary
I let you fill in the holes that
remains there are still so many topics that
show that today humanity is
looking for something other than a
material prosperity and it is obvious
that we have to reach these two
material and spiritual prosperity that
go together to reach
unity to achieve peace
world wide but so if this change is
inevitable if this change is possible
who are the protagonists of this
change that will allow this
change are actually realized then
in the heart of the association did succeed
to identify three protagonists that
we all know the individuals the
community the institutions these are
protagonists who are part of our
life the individuals are we ourselves
is part of a community the
institutions of one did more or
least gone in any case some more
than others but if we look at the
relationship between these three protagonists
today finally the dialogue is
broken between these three protagonists
the dialogue is broken because we have
the impression that the interests of
individuals are not taken into account
by the institutions the institutions
perhaps expects more individuals
so how do we do to reconnect
these three protagonists
is not it really a
a new vision of the role of each of
protagonists and a new vision
also of the interaction that may have
these three protagonists
so for being considered that
the individual is the first link in the
chain the indispensable link to this
change
first link why and why
indispensable since without the individual
without concrete action
no change can succeed therefore
finally it is the individual who will do
the past the individual who will succeed in
put into practice theories of
project principles it’s the individual
that he lives in a neighborhood that lives in
a neighborhood in a city in a in
a village is the individual who can
take charge of projects and initiate
actions the concrete so is the
consequence of an action of the individual
so the individual and this first link
essential
the individuals we as I said we
are all different and this
diversity is important to maintain
That’s what makes India so rich
the wealth of the community
precisely the community can be
defined unlike a simple
together word a cousin a set
individuals with interests from
duties of responsibilities
different but who all work
for the same purpose with the same vision and
finally institutions can we
consider that institutions already
are composed of individuals but that
the more they have the mission to help the
community to accompany the community to
stimulate and develop actions
individuals to enable the release of
potential it and each individual
the path would not suggest that
is a schema that has left already put in
work as part of this
association is a schema that is based
on a functioning with a few words
keys as those who are learning
cooperation and consultation
each individual will have an action
concrete in a geographical area
given this action will necessarily give
place to an apprenticeship
these learnings are then put in
common these learnings that come
from around the world
because these are the same activities
with children with young meadows
which take place in africa in asia in
europe and america by all these are
the same activities with the same vision
that unity is possible that peace is
possible
but these activities are going
give rise to learning
different these learnings are put
in common and its learning the
institutions will be able to draw
lessons that will be the basis of their
decisions
but rather than talking about decisions
I would like to talk about subjection and
proposals
the institutions will be able to
basing on learning so the
basis of the individuals proposed to propose
and make suggestions for action
principle of projects and his suggestions
are made to the community since the
community will allow each
individual to unleash his potential of
unleash his creativity and put himself in
movement to move towards a change
and so we are in a virtuous circle
that never stops since the
institutions is still based on the
Individual and collective learning
so these learnings as I said
come from all over the world
they come from me they come from
you then I pass you over
today what choice can you make
what choice can we all make
together so that world peace does not
be more just an illusion a utopia
but it becomes a reality
maybe not for us but for the
future generations
but at least we try to
to establish the unity of the human race
material and spiritual prosperity
universal thank you
