Annual Meeting from 17-19th, of June, 2011 with Content Development on the Agenda
The Global Marshall Plan was originally established by a loose network of supportive individuals and organizations. Founded in 2003, the Global Marshall Plan Foundation is entrusted with the construction of a coordination office, to be responsible for tasks such as: managing the website, creating the newsletters, and coordinating meetings.
After the founding of the university group of Karlsruhe as the first local group, the foundation's team took on also the support of engaged individuals and groups, they who are for a world in balance and want to be active at a local level. With the help of many experts a comprehensive approach was developed in 2005. Many supporting organizations have brought and continue to bring forth their talents to the initiative in the form of many thousands of public lectures, especially those from Franz Fischler, Franz Josef Radermacher, Josef Riegler, Uwe Möller, and Frithjof Finkbeiner, in whose speeches this mission has been spread. In our joint effort, over 5000 people and 400 organizations have shared the ideas of our initiative with the world.
At the annual meeting on the 9th of October, 2010 the eco-social forum of Europe and the Global Marshall Plan Foundation proposed for discussion the topic of expanding the initiative by way of creating a coordination group. In Stuttgart a working group was formed in order to continue the discussion at the next meeting on the 14th of December, 2010. At the meeting of the group in Munich many options were discussed. Several organizations present decided to take up the proposal and began the first steps of constituting the coordination group.
The coordination group developed strategic and substantive aspects of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative, made resolved to support support particular projects, worked on content development, and organized the annual meeting of the Initiative. The following organizations were members of this initial coordination group:
German Association Club of Rome
Global Marshall Plan Foundation
Global Contract Foundation
Eco-Social Forum of Europe
Eco-Social Student Forum of Austria
Peter Hesse Foundation
ThinkCamp
Along with content development, the continuation of the coordination group was identified as one of its first tasks. By the year 2011, a set of criteria will be developed in which a proposal will be made about which actors from which fields and regions should be involved in the coordination group, in order to most optimally combine the diverse forces of the large group of supporters for the implementation of our objectives. All supporters are invited to submit recommendations and proposals to: koordinationskreis@globalmarshallplan.org
The coordination group is also responsible for the organization of the of the annual meeting of the Global Marshall Plan Intiative, which will take place from the 17 - 19th of June, 2011 alongside the international "Summer Week" taking place in Augsburg. All supporters are heartily invited to attend this event.
In addition, a working group was set up in order to consider the legal status of a non-profit cooperative or company. This group, moderated and led by Ulrich Martin Drescher, includes Peter Grassmann, the Chairman of the Eco-Social Forum of Germany and Frithjof Finkbeiner of the Global Marshall Plan Foundation. The results of their study will be available in March 2011.
The participants of the meetings: Uwe Möller, Frithjof Finkbeiner, Franz Josef Radermacher, Peter Hesse, Johannes Pfister, Peter Grassmann, Ulrich Martin Drescher and Andreas Huber.
Global Marshall Plan Academy 2010/20100 Started with 19 Participants
19 highly motivated prospective supporters of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative met with each other on the weekend from 10th to the 12th of December in Hamburg, in order to take part in the first block of the Global Marshall Plan Academy 2010/2011. The central theme of the first block was the present challenges of the 21st century, which was addressed in the discussion of theses presented by the participants.
After the first "get to know each other" meeting, the participants learned more about Cradle2Cradle during the excursion and could, at the end, discuss the topic with the speakers. During the evening program there was an inspiring exchange with Uwe Möller from the Club of Rome.
Above all, the different backgrounds and occupations of the participants inspired interesting discussions which highlighted many aspects and produced new approaches toward the topics covered. Following the intensive work during the day the participants jointly explored the city of Hamburg and its famous nightlife.
Discussions during the break and during the presentation of Cradle2Cradle
The world game was fun and provoked an intense debate about distributive justice. Followed later by group work.
The workshop was the first module of the four-part Global Marshall Plan Academy. The next portions coming in the following months will be taking place in Augsburg, Vienna, and Schlierbach. Many topics will be discussed, including: system analysis, presentation, training in argumentation and project management in practical exercises. Here are some voices of this year's participants:
"It was a stroke of luck to be here! The skills and diversity of participants and the great professionalism of the academy team leaves me full of excitement and confidence that the remaining three blocks will further educate us as much as possible about the idea of a Global Marshall Plan (Manuela Drolet, professor of humanities and languages in Teacher Education)
"Extremely inspirational. A completely different kind of exchange and opinions. Nothing will be the same again after this course." (Stefan Otto, a management consultant)
"I just find it very great. I had wanted a very heterogenous group with many perspectives and discussions from various angles. This has been met." (Othmar Lehner, University Professor and tax advisor)
Current invormation about the academy is available at www.globalmarshallplanacademy.org. Interested parties can contact us at academy@globalmarshallplan.org
Thanks to Dr. Winter and the House of the Future (German), which was made available for the event, as well as to Springer organic baked goods and the organic restaurant WakuWaku, for their assistance with meals.

Cancun, COP 16 - Clicking Cameras, Flashlight and Plant-for-the-Planet
The press' waiting for the German Minister of Environment Norbert
Röttgen is without success. Therefore, Ecuador's President Rafael
Correa accepted the invitation.
From Cancun, Daniel Boese
When
you follow the sounds of clicking cameras and the flashing lights, then
it is time for the most exciting moment of the planting activity; when
the small Ceiba-seedling is ground into the soil and a planting Minister is shaking hands with a young student. It gets louder,
photographers and camera men direct, twelve Mexican students at the age
of 9 to 14, Felix Finkbeiner (13) and three dozen journalists enjoy
the company of 193 trees. Jo Leinen (SPD), representative of the
European Parliament's Environment Committee, plants a tree for Germany:
shaking hands with Felix while kneeling in front of the tree, standing
behind the tree, and once more kneeling again. The camera team of the
German TV-channel ZDF expects Norbert Röttgen, German Minister of
Environment - however he does not come.
At this decisive moment, pictures are taken: The press on its hunt for the perfect picture. (photos by Daniel Boese)
This
is followed by interviews, Felix talks with the Mexican TV, while
reporters from all over the world ask their questions to the Mexican
children. An American would like to know from Felix: "How can climate
change turn into a big lovestory?" Felix contemplates: "We noticed that
it is not fair when some countries use up almost all resources, while
others use up none. Climate change can turn into a lovestory, when we
create climate justice." Thereby, it is important to know that Felix
and the active children of Plant-for-the-Planet have a very specific
definition of climate justice: Two tons CO2 per person and per year;
trade is allowed. 
Talking stop about the proper planting technique: Rafael Correa, President of Ecuador and Felix Finkbeiner.
Despite
all the flashing lights, the most exciting activity is another one. In
the morning at half past seven, the Mexican students from the Centro Educativo Monteverde in Cancun are still a bit
shy when they come to greet the delegates at the entrance of the
exhibition center. Felix has to cheer them on to hold up high their
posters with the striking photos (Felix covering up the mouth of Prince
Albert and Gisele BĂĽndchen: "Stop talking. Start planting".). 
Showing how it is done: Mexican students help to plant.
At
the beginning, it is only Felix, who loudly invites the delegates to
join them for the planting activity: "Take action, between one and
three there's a planting activity". After a while, the other students
join in as well. Six hours and many interviews later, the children lose
their shyness - as well as the respect for the journalists and
politicians. "I have learned to smile for the cameras and talk a lot", says Camilla
Castellano (14). Here, she could also mention the extra-lesson in
diplomacy, which they all pass, being observed by a dozen of Ministers
and Presidents. They not only manage to pass security and plant one
tree after the other, but to cover up the mouth of many diplomates as
well - of course for taking a photo.
A delegate from the Seychelles joins in.
The
American word "Empowerment" probably describes it best. Felix showed to
them, how naturally children can be part of the diplomates world.
Because everbody knows that diplomates have talked for years, however
negotiations have advanced rather slow.
Compared to the
Cancun's students 'blossoming', the appearances of the Minsters for
Environment from Uganda, Paraguay, Kenya, Suriname, the Dutch
ambassador and the representative of the French delegation remain
rather pale. Even Rafael Correa, President of Ecuador and the summit's
star of the day doesn't become the center of attention. He brings along
a healer, who blesses the trees before planting. Afterwards, Carolina
Castellano (14) and Felix start to shovel.
Interviews? No problem. By now, Felix is well-schooled in media related matters.
Of
course, flashing lights. Later on, they are joined by Marcelo Ebrard,
the mayor of Mexico City. However, the delegate of the Seychelles is
astonished by only one thing:"Have I just seen a 13 year old handing
out business cards?" she asked hesitantly.
Playa del Carmen, Mexico - Is Planting
In the school Mayaland we had after the presentation a great discussion with the kids. The planting action on this sunny day was for us and all the children a unique event.
We met the Mayor of Playa del Carmen and he was very nice. Felix was allowed to take a picture for our campaign "Stop talking. Start planting." and also his employees were very friendly people.
The press conference in a Cafe in Playa del Carmen was very exciting. We waited well prepared for the press and told the representatives of different media a lot about our project. Wow!
Together with the scouts, we had a lot of fun! Please look at the pictures!

Third Voyage: 29 November - 10 December 2010Tel Aviv - Haifa - Jenin - Nablus - Ramallah - Jerusalem
By Zeki Ergas **
Prologue: the Global Context
Next year, in 2012, here in Geneva, we will be, in great style, celebrating the 300th anniversary of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's birth. I believe that his philosophical and social thoughts have never been more relevant than they are today. Our contemporary world is in a sorry state, sinking deeper and deeper into a catastrophe from which we shall not be able to extricate ourselves unless we succeed to realize drastic change. The main challenges that we face (not necessarily in that order) are: climate change, nuclear weapons proliferation, deepening inequality, the persistence of extreme poverty and international terrorism. The fact is that these immense, life and death challenges are not being dealt with intelligently and, perhaps more importantly, honestly. Thus, despite the appearances of progress, especially in the scientific and technological fields, the global situation is rapidly deteriorating.
Rousseau's analysis of society and its ills, amazingly, is still valid. His claim that man is born good, but corrupted by society, may be only partly true. Hobbes, for one, would not agree with that proposition. That said, Rousseau's thesis that our society suffers, mainly, from political and linguistic dysfunctions remains, I believe, well-grounded. The political dysfunctions, he wrote, have to do with corruption; the linguistic ones, to the perversion of language. That is exactly the case today, all over the world. Corruption is everywhere, in rich and developed countries, as well as in poor and 'developing' countries. As for the perversion of language, it takes, mainly, technocratic and bureaucratic forms whose main purpose is to disguise, hide and distort true meaning. The raison d'ĂŞtre of corruption and linguistic perversion is to perpetuate a social and economic world order dominated by the privileged few. This paradigm, based on the two essential dimensions, state and the market, as it exists today, is not sustainable in the long run and needs to be radically transformed for humankind to survive. That vital change, if it ever happens, will occur through the introduction of a third dimension that promotes and protects the vital interests of the large majority of the world's population, and of the planet itself. It is called the commons revolution.
Introduction
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the search for peace, to be understood fully, need to be placed within that global perspective. Thus, insofar as Israel is concerned, in the short run, power relations may appear to favor it strongly -- as shown clearly recently when President Barack Obama had to give up its demand of a 90-day freeze in settlement construction. In the long run, however, the opposite is true, for the situation is bound to evolve to the detriment of Israel. That for two main reasons: one, the BDS (Boycotts, Disinvestment, Sanctions) campaign which is already picking up momentum, and which, in the not-so-distant future will be unstoppable; and two, the weakening of the Jewish-American lobbies in Washington (younger American Jews are by far not as unconditionally pro-Israel as are their seniors), which will make it easier for the American government to exert strong pressure on Israel to do 'what it takes' (and that is enormous) to make peace with the Palestinians (this will require a democratic American administration in power in Washington).
As for the Palestinians, the latest polls show that the majority want peace. In addition, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) led by President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad have learned their lesson are playing the 'game' correctly - they know that a third intifada would play into Israeli hands. Thus, Abbas shows great patience and magnanimity; Fayyad (who worked for many years at the IMF, in Washington), strongly supported by the Americans and the Europeans, the Saudis and the Emirates of the Gulf, busily prepares for independence, building infrastructure, such as roads and schools. FDI (foreign direct investment) is on the rise. The recognition by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay of a State of Palestine within the borders of 1967 is a big plus, and a harbinger of the future: other countries in Latin America and Africa and Asia will almost certainly follow suit. So, the Palestinians of the PNA (PLO and Fatah) are doing the right thing and, as long as they continue in the same direction, time will be working for them. The pressure will be on Hamas, which will find itself forced either to join the movement or risk losing influence, even in Gaza.
It is already increasingly and abundantly clear that Israel's main problem is not external (Iran), but internal. Its population is divided into several groups with separate and contradictory 'agendas'. The largest group is formed by secular and consumerist Israelis who want to be left alone to have a good time and to enjoy life; the economy is doing well, the Israelis have not suffered from the crisis that is wreaking havoc in the US and Western Europe. Another group is composed by the 'Russians' who don't really 'understand' democracy coming from a country with repressive and totalitarian tendencies; the vote for the fascist (and possibly racist) Avigdor Lieberman. A third group includes the ultra-orthodox religious and nationalist religious Jews, both in Israel and in the occupied territories; their obsession is to build the Greater Israel. The clash between, on the one hand, the first, and, on the other the second and the third groups is, it seems to me unavoidable in the long run. If a coalition of the second and third groups end up winning, Israel risks becoming a fascist-theocratic state …
The Voyage
TEL AVIV - November 29 and 30: In-depth political (also literary) discussion with two couples. The first composed by a well-known Israeli poetess and her writer/translator husband; the second, of left-wing Israeli activists. The poetess and her husband represent the crème de la crème of the liberal and progressive Israeli society. I was, however, stunned by their lack of understanding of the real situation in Israel. But, they listened attentively to my arguments and, at the end of our more than three hours of conversation (and a good meal in a nice cafeteria where they took me), they, seriously, suggested that I should offer myself as an adviser to Bibi Netanyahu 'who is looking for them' … That remark, if anything else, shows their degree of their innocence and naivety. The second couple works for Gush Shalom (the Bloc of Peace) founded by Uri Avnery. I have known them for a long time. They are very committed workaholics. They demonstrate actively in Sheik Jarrah (East Jerusalem) and Bil'in (West Bank), etc. ; post articles on their websites, produce newsletters, and so on. They really know what is going on, and I learn a lot from them. But, as patriots, they are against BDS and believe that the separation of state and religion is not necessarily bad, and anyway impossible to achieve in Israel (they may be right on that last point). The problem is, most Israelis do not take them seriously.
HAIFA - December 1 to 4: I participated actively in the International Conference, WORDS BEYOND BORDERS. WRITERS FOR PEACE, in Haifa. We stayed at the Dan Panorama, a five-star hotel. The conference itself took place at the nearby Carmel Auditorium. It was well organized, and about 45 writers, about half of which came from overseas, the other half being Israelis. There were expatriate Kurdish, Moroccan and Iraqi writers, and an Egyptian journalist (who pretended, he told me, that he was traveling to Malta; not even his family knew that he was attending a peace conference in Haifa …). A dozen or PEN members came from Europe. Notably absent were Palestinians from the occupied territories, Arab Israelis and Arab writers from the surrounding countries. That was largely because, at PEN International's Congress in Tokyo, three months earlier, the decision was taken to boycott the conference. Principal reason, the occupation. Bending to pressure, PEN International withdrew from its sponsorship of the conference, accepting, however, that PEN members of national centers could participate on an individual basis. As a result, a dozen or so members of the Writers for Peace Committee (WfPC) of PEN International, including its chair, Edvard Kovac, and the vice-chair, Teresa Salema, were present. The French PEN, with seven members, had the strongest delegation. Explanation: the Conference, in addition to its goal of promoting peace, was also the first in a series of annual conferences in the Mediterranean/European region to advance the cause of freedom of expression, using literature as a main vehicle - the next such conference is scheduled to be held in Rabat, Morocco. The presentations in the various panels were often of good quality. I participated (as a speaker and moderator) in three panels: Literature and the challenge of the environment, Human right to peace, and Freedom of conscience and of expression.
On the third night of the Conference, The Heart of Jenin, a documentary film, was shown at Beit HaGefen (Haifa's Arab-Jewish cultural center). Produced and directed by Marcus Vetter, a German filmmaker, this full-length documentary (90 minutes) has won several major prizes in various festivals in Europe - Leipzig, Berlin, Valladolid (Spain), Dubai ... It tells the story of Ahmad, Ismail Khatib's eleven years old son who was accidentally killed by an Israeli soldier. He had crossed the square nearby the Jenin refugee camp running with a wooden toy rifle in his hand when the soldier mistaking him for a fighter had fired, hitting him in the head. Rushed to a nearby Jewish hospital, Ahmad could not be saved. Ismail, in a remarkable humanitarian gesture, had allowed his son's vital organs (kidneys, heart, liver ...) to be used in transplants, saving thus five Arab and Jewish lives, including a little girl of a haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews. Ismail, who plays his own role in the film, was present at the projection, and answered many questions. We struck a conversation, and he invited me to Jenin (see the following section) ... The evening was a big success.
That same day, a big fire broke out in the Carmel forest in which 42 people died. That national catastrophe, which shook us, understandably, upset the Conference's program. The fire broke out nearby the Druze village of Ussafiyeh, which we were scheduled to visit ... All the activities having to do with entertainment: the Festival of the Three Religions, dances and music, etc. were canceled. We did plant an olive tree in the garden of the Beit haGefen to immortalize our visit. In addition we visited the Bahai world center and the national center of the Ahmaddiya Muslims where we were subjected, quite nakedly, to an exercise in publicity.
That said, and to conclude, I believe that it was very much worth attending and participating in the Conference, even if its main purpose, the participation by Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, was not achieved.
JENIN (NABLUS) - December 5 and 6 : As mentioned above, I went, invited by Ismail Khatib, to Jenin, a Palestinian city of some 65.000 inhabitants, in the north, not far from Haifa. I stayed at the Cuneo Peace Center whose director is Ismail. Cuneo is an Italian city and the Center was created after the the killing of Ahmad. It has room for about 15 volunteers who work in various projects, in the nearby Jenin refugee camp, and on a big project is called Cinema Jenin. Ismail and his family used to live in that camp when Ahmad was killed in 2005. Ismail showed me the exact place where his son was killed. The Jenin Cinema was destroyed during the first Intifada (Rebellion) in 1987. It was rebuilt thanks to a large grant by the Goethe Institute. Its big opening took place on August 5, 2010, with the projection of … The Heart of Jenin. A lot of pedagogical activity is associated with the Cinema Jenin: German filmmakers are shooting films, training programs for young Palestinians are in progress. The Cinema Jenin also shows commercial films, and other cultural and artistic activities - concerts, plays, etc. - also take place there. There were only two German volunteers at the Center during the two days that I stayed there. We had interesting conversations on the kind of initiatives that they could take to create new projects in the Jenin refugee camp.
Ismail and Ahmad, his deputy, showed great hospitality, taking me to Nablus (half an hour by car) where I wanted to see A., a member of the Palestinian PEN who teaches there (it turned out that he was sick, and I could not see him). In Nablus, part of the main road was closed owing to a military drill by the Palestinian security forces. There is no Israeli military presence in the Palestinian cities of the Zone A, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin ... where more than 90 per cent of the Palestinian population lives (occupied Palestine is divided into three Zones: A, B and C. In Zone A, the PNA is responsible of security and administration (the security forces are trained by Americans in Jordan); in Zone B, security is in the hands of the Israelis, Palestinians are responsible for administration ; and in Zone C (which includes the Jordan Valley, near the border) is totally controlled by Israel). Near Nablus, I was rather upset by the presence of a large Israeli military base surrounded by a wall, with watch towers and all.
Before I left, Ismail gave me the DVD copy of his film. I will try to have it shown in Switzerland.
RAMALLAH - December 7: It is the main Palestinian city with some 200.000 inhabitants. I was unable to reach any of my contacts of the Palestinian PEN. Several, including Hannan Awwad, the president, whom I know well, were in India to attend a conference. I went to the Sakakini Cultural Center, but it was closed. Not a soul in sight. Near Al Manara Square (guarded by the stone sculptures of four lions; for some reason, I am always pleased to see them) is the Al-Kasaba Theater. It is a sophisticated place, the only one in the whole of Palestine, which opened in 2000. I narrowly missed the film festival that took place on 7-18 October 2010, whose director was Khaled Elayyan. Al-Kasaba also stages regularly Palestinian plays. I stayed at the Best Eastern hotel whose customers were all Palestinian business types. The city is bustling with activity. Large buildings are being built. The US is pouring a lot of money into Ramallah. Private investors are also betting on its future - as the economic capital of independent Palestine, whereas East Jerusalem would be the political capital (like in Turkey, Ankara is the political capital, Istanbul the economic capital).
I went to visit Arafat's (relatively) modest mausoleum at the entrance of the Mukata, the residence of the President and his staff. The two guards were outside the mausoleum, sitting around and having tea. Upon seeing me arrive, it was early in the afternoon and there was nobody, they hurried to take their places at the two ends of the grave, standing at attention ...
The shops in Ramallah are full of goods, and Palestinians are good shoppers (mostly women), compulsively purchasing. The economy appears to be doing well. Obviously, they don't like Israelis, but what they really hate is the occupation. I think that if the occupation ends, friendly, and mutually rewarding relations could develop between Israelis and Palestinians. The truth is that Israelis could do a lot to help Palestinians develop. And Plaestinians could help Israelis to recover their lost reputation in the world.
JERUSALEM - December 8 to 10: As usual when I am in Jerusalem, I stayed at the Belgia House, on the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I went to visit Steve Kaplan, the Director of the Harry S Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace, on the Mount Scopus Campus, in East Jerusalem. I know Steve from the days I was a research fellow there for three years (between 1978 and 1981). The Truman Institute was among the sponsors of the Haifa Conference. The campus is very beautiful: stone buildings, big trees, flower beds. But what really struck me is the view from the Rothberg Auditorium (next to the Truman Institute) which has changed a lot (to say the least), in the last thirty years. In the late 1970s, the tops of the hills were almost empty; now they are covered with settlements which, actually, look like whole neighborhoods made up of tall five, six, even seven story buildings. When I see this, I am overwhelmed by doubts that the occupied territories can be /will be given back, unless Israelis are forced to do so, owing to BDS and a radical change in the US.
Is spent my last day traveling back to Haifa, to visit Sami Michael, the writer, and his wife Rachel, who owns a small agency for writers. We have become friends again, after a year or so of falling out owing to a misunderstanding.
They told me there is a big demonstration on the following day at the Rabin Square in Tel Aviv organized by ACRI (Association of Civil Rights of Israel) of which Sami is president. He was busy preparing his speech. Hundreds of NGOs are expected to participate. Is the wind changing direction in Israel? Too early to tell. However, I read in the Ha'aretz (The Nation, the main center-left newspaper in Israel) that thousands marched in that rally. So ? ...
I left the following morning. No problems. I am lucky. The following day, very bad weather hits the country, closing down the Ben Gurion airport. Yes, luck plays a big role in life. Maybe, Israelis and Palestinians will benefit from it in the future. They will need it. I certainly hope so.
