Human Wisdom Award for Contributions to a Better World
This is an invitation to people worldwide to participate in the Human Wisdom Award Program which is being granted to people, companies and organizations throughout the world who distinguish themselves in various fields of human activity and deserve recognition for their contribution to a better world.
Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) March 29, 2004 -- 'Tomorrow’s society is being built
today!' is the idea of an initiative of the Montreal-based publishing company
Human Wisdom now launching an invitation to people worldwide to become builders
of a better world, or ‘Human Era’ as they call it.
As part of that
endeavor, the company initiated the Human Wisdom Award Program which is being
granted to people, companies and organizations throughout the world who
distinguish themselves in various fields of human activity and deserve
recognition for their contribution to a better world.
”Each era has its
pioneers; its heroes,” reads the opening statement of the award program quoting
Sergio Tripi, a former representative to Italy of the United Nations University
for Peace. “While some such pioneers are publicly known, most are not, and their
valuable ideas and generous efforts invariably end up creating little impact,
mainly due to lack of exposure and support.” The Award Program discovers and
brings to public attention these ’Forerunners of a Human Era’.
Launched
in the summer of 2003, the program includes seven categories: outstanding
Vision, Altruism, Constructive Initiatives, Innovation and Discovery, Sharing,
Joyfulness and Beauty. Among current laureates: the Good News Agency, Synergic
Earth, Christine Smith's John Denver Legacy and Dreams of Freedom charity, the
University for the Study of Human Goodness, Tintota International, Utne
Magazine, Problems of Humanity, MarianneGB's Art, Voodoochilli, BTDesign Art
Gallery.
Some initiatives are well-known, while others in incipient
stages; some are international while others national or regional projects. "The
Human Wisdom Award Program considers size and present recognition as the least
relevant criteria for an initiative to receive the award," says founder Dan
Bostan. "What matters most is their intrinsic human value, their spirit of
generosity and the potential positive impact they may have in other people's
lives."
The Human Wisdom Award is not the only ‘human-oriented’
initiative of the Canadian company. Its recently published book Terra City
launches a publishing concept called ‘Synergic Creativity’, where readers
interested in debating and further developing the subject are invited to
co-author an enhanced edition of the book. Human Wisdom also promotes an
endeavor called the Terra City Project.
"There is a lot of frustration,
anger and disbelief in the world, and we are all aware of that," says Bostan.
"There is also much creativity, goodwill and generosity in the world, of which
we are not so much aware. Many things contributed to the evolution of human
civilization but most of all the creativity, daring and spirit of sacrifice of
some of our human fellows; and this is what will carry us forward. To intensify
this process, it is essential that we all become aware, and possibly inspired,
by those generously creating, daring and sometimes sacrificing themselves for
the good of humanity."
Human Wisdom invites everyone interested to join
this initiative and become involved in searching, discovering, nominating and
awarding those who strive through their positive thoughts, talents and efforts
to contribute to a better world. Media outlets who consider becoming official
national or regional organizers of the award are invited to contact Human
Wisdom.
