---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Darwis Khudori <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 5:01 PM Subject: BANDUNG+60 CONFERENCE INDONESIA OCTOBER 2015 Dear friends of School for Wellbeing, I am pleased to inform you that we are organising a conference of commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the 1955 Bandung Asian-African Conference that will take place in Indonesia on October 26-31, 2015. Like five years ago, we will move from Yogyakarta, to Bandung and Jakarta. The theme of our conference is "BUILDING SOVEREIGNTY, PREVENTING HEGEMONY : The Challenges for Emerging Forces in the Globalised World." See http://www.bandungspirit.org/ The concept, planning and programme of the conference are prepared by a SCIENTIFIC BOARD consisting of academics from Africa, Asia, Europe and other parts of the world. See its composition at http://www.bandungspirit.org/spip.php?article78 The conference will be organised in plenary sessions and 5 parallel seminars following the 5 pillars of sustainable development. The seminars and their coordinators are : CULTURE : Mr. Adams Bodomo, Ghana/Austria (Prof. Dr., Linguistics/African Studies, University of Vienna). ECOLOGY : Mr. Yukio Kamino, Japan (Dr., African Studies/Ecology, OISCA, Tokyo). ECONOMY : Mr. Rimawan Pradiptyo, Indonesia (Dr., Economics, Gadjah Mada University). POLITICS : Ms Lin Chun, China/UK (Dr., Political Sciences, London School of Economics). RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY : Mr. Jean-Jacques Ngor Sène, Senegal/USA (Assoc. Professor. Dr., History, Chatham University). Different from a common academic conference, our conference is an expression of a collective-participative-collaborative work. Every seminar is prepared by a working group open to those concerned, interested and willing to participate in the conference as a "process" instead of merely an "event". In addition to the 5 working groups, a special working group will be dedicated to FINAL DECLARATION/CHARTER/MANIFESTO under the coordination of Mr. Lazare Ki-Zerbo, Burkina Faso/France (Dr., Philosophy, International Committee Joseph Ki-Zerbo for Africa and Diaspora). If you wish to participate in a working group or to stay informed of the conference preparation, please, send to me and/or to Bandung Spirit Secretariat <[email protected]> your name, your academic fields if you have any, your academic titles if you have any, your institutional affiliations if you have any, your country of residence and your email address and your working group choice. I look foward to hearing from you and thank you for your kind attention and collaboration.
