“Building trust in our societies”
When: 11-13 October 2007
Where: Deauville, France
Our theme for the third edition of the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, «Building Trust in our Societies», is a crucial subject.
In our era, economic, social and environmental issues are such that experts, philosophers, financiers, researchers and sociologists have trouble defining conditions that could create a better, more secure, and trustworthy world. At the same time, the world’s citizens are observing global changes live on the Internet and can exchange information, share their doubts and their questions.
It is therefore more vital than ever to bring practical and realistic answers to these questions, no matter where they come from. And it has become essential to stray from pat answers to favour tangible results and find alternative responses either in terms of new ethical standards or new social networks, while reinforcing human rights for a new kind of justice and rethinking cultural identity for a global world. Few issues can avoid reform, and few escape scrutiny. In light of this, we must redefine each and every assigned role for nations, companies, associations and individuals.
