**Sponsored by the Spiritual Dimensions of Science and Consciousness (SDSC), a Working Group of CSVGC-NY**
A Program held as part of the 2010 Week of Spirituality to Observe UN Day
A Project of the NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns - NY (CONGO)
The 2010 Week of Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns is being sponsored by:
> NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns at the United Nations, NY,
> NGO Alliance on Crime Prevention & Criminal Justice,
> NGO Committee on the United Nations International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples,
Committees of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO),
> UNSRC- Enlightenment Society (SEAT)
> UNSRC – Feng Shui Group,
> UNSRC- Friendship Club, Spiritual Caucus,
> United Religions Initiative-UN (URI-UN)
> UN Women’s Guild
This program has been inspired by the United Nations' International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures. Because of its mandate, UNESCO has been designated to oversee plans to observe this year. See, for example, the following website:
http://www.unesco.org/en/2010-international-year-for-the-rapprochement-of-cultures/
One of the four designated program themes asks for a focus on "building a framework for commonly shared values." Thus, this program will address the need to promote awareness of universal, transcendental, spiritual values at the United Nations in order to achieve a "Rapprochement of Cultures." It is these spiritual, transcendent and universal values, which represent a more inclusive dimension of consciousness.
