The International Coalition Co-Willing, network uniting international partners to encourage good governance, ethical leadership, and drive long-term sustainable development

"As humans we are inter-connected and what we do affects the whole World."

Freedom

- Our Responsibility to make choices and act on them – stepping out of ‘victimhood’ to become ‘active players’.
- Our Responsibility to ensure the right of individual choice towards the ‘Greater Good of All’- holding ourselves and our leaders accountable.
- Our Responsibility to counter systems of dominance and oppression.

 

New Culture

Viewing humanity as a whole and acknowledging our inter-dependence, rather than being divided by nationality, race, religion, etc. Kick-starting inclusion & cooperation, rather than competition for resources & expertise.

 

Sustainability, Empowerment & Integrity

as root values in caring for our fellow humans and for nature – thus bringing freedom and peace.
