Commonwealth Conversation |
In preparation for the Commonwealth Heads of Government
meeting in Trinidad and Tobago in November this year, and to review the
first sixty years of the modern Commonwealth and to look forward to the
next sixty years, the Royal Commonwealth Society is conducting a survey to
ask how the Commonwealth can add value to the international community in
the 21st century. The Commonwealth conversation can be found here: Click on: The Commonwealth Conversation. It consists of only ten questions and takes around ten minutes to complete. The purpose of the conversation is to: * Gather the opinions of individuals and organisations across the world about the Commonwealth. * Identify key issues of international concern on which the Commonwealth should focus. * Help re-vitalise the Commonwealth and re-connect it to a new generation. * Present key recommendations to Commonwealth leaders and policy makers. * Raise awareness about what the Commonwealth is and does. CDA MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO VISIT THE WEBSITE AND COMPLETE THE SURVEY. |
