1. 50 Year Commemorative. PROUT Global Convention
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK 20-27 JULY 2009
Baba conducted the First Prout Convention during 17-22 October 1959 in Jamalpur and next autumn will be the 50 year anniversary of this historic event. To mark this occasion, we are planning a number of Prout related events during 2009 and 2010, starting July 20-27, 2009 with a global Prout Global Convention in Copenhagen, Denmark, the place Baba designated as the Global Office of Prout.
The Convention
The main focus of this convention will be to revitalize the Prout movements in all sectors and coordinate all our efforts. This is especially urgent given the present global economic crisis that is increasingly affecting everyone. Proutists have an important role to play in the transformation of global society.
This Global Convention is for those who have a passion for Prout regardless of what view one may have on the present organizational crisis. Baba gave Prout "for the happiness and all-round welfare of all."
Your Invitation
The Global Prout Office and the Prout Convention Organizing Committee invite all Proutists to attend this historic convention. The program is arranged to accommodate everyone interested in Prout, those experienced in running Prout projects as well as those new to Prout.
The Venue
The Master Unit, 'Ananda Gaori', is situated in beautiful, rolling countryside 50 mins to the northwest of Copenhagen. Additional renovations are under way to make it a perfect venue for this convention with beds for everyone. For those who like camping, there is ample space for tents and more than 10 hectares for children to run. There is also a campground five minutes drive from the MU that is on a beach and sand dune area stretching for 20 kilometers.
Program
The program will consist of one day of presentations from invited speakers on the 21st of July. The presentations will expose participants to existing Prout activities in various parts of the world, such as Prout College, the Prout Research Institute of Venezuela, presentation of samaj movements and Prout activities in India, Ang Kasama in Maharlika, the Haiti cooperatives, Burkina Faso Cooperatives, etc. We will also have thought-provoking discussions on Prout in today's society. Is the current economic crisis rocking the world or is it the beginning of the end of capitalism as we know it? If so, this is the time people will seriously be looking for alternatives. In such case, what can we as Proutists do to influence events and bring the ideas of Prout to the forefront of people's consciousness as a viable alternative? Also, to what extent should we be involved in political activism, joining other progressive groups in fighting for specific demands? Is there a danger of weakening or modifying our Prout platform in order to get a more ready acceptance for our idea? These are just some of the types of things we will try to explore during the first day.
After the presentations, in the next two days we will use the "Open Space Technology" model to develop action plans that participants are passionate about working on. This model results in plans that are actually realizable and involving those who are capable and committed to make them happen.
The "Open Space" provides opportunity for those new to Prout to learn more about Baba's revolutionary socio-economic theory. The system also results in concrete action plans for those participants who are ready project Prout in their sphere of influence.
The program following the open space sessions will begin on Thursday afternoon, the 23rd of July. This program will concentrate on developing our skills and our ability to project Prout to the public. This will include classes on Prout. There will be workshops such as, Making Our Presentations Artistically Refined to Touch Layers of the Mind Other Than Just the Intellect and Speaking From The Heart. There will also be strong focus on strengthening our sadhana and strengthening our personal resolve with sadhana shivir and akhanda kiirtan to better prepare ourselves to bring Prout to the attention of the public.
The final detailed program including the opening day presentations will be conveyed to you when we have everyone confirmed.
Costs
The cost of participation will be kept to a minimum, as we will basically only be charging for food and consumables. The total cost is Danish Kronor 1100 (Euros 150. US$200). In order to give opportunity to the widest possible number of people to participate, a limited fund will be available to help defray participation and transportation costs for people from countries having a disadvantage in exchange rates. Please apply to the organizing committee well in advance for any financial assistance.
