My Thoughts – Visions – Beliefs – Attitudes – Behaviour

Action 1:01

in Theory

Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed. (UNESCO Constitution)

Never doubt that a Small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the World. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has. (Margaret Mead)

The goal of this action is to realize the connection between our thoughts, our visions, our behaviours, and how we shape our societies.
