Six themes

Within the broad goals of justice and sustainability, the project is structured around six themes. Each of the places chosen to be a Global Beacon of Hope will represent one or more of them. Other themes could be added, but we wanted to keep this as simple as possible.  


1. Human rights

 

2. Fairness and harmony among peoples

 

3. Valuing and conserving nature

 

4. Exploration, including scientific research, invention, navigation, astronomy, and voyages in space

 

5. The mind, including reason, emotion, imagination, creativity, higher consciousness, and spirituality, among other things


6. Interconnectedness: Everything and everyone is interconnected.  


The first five of these themes are about both means and ends. For example, respecting human rights is an imperative in itself, and also makes possible progress in the other four areas. These relationships are an example of the sixth theme, Interconnectedness.
