The newly established Institute for
Science and Human Values has been invited to participate
in this conference held under the patronage of
UNESCO Director General
Irina Bokova.
Paul Kurtz, ISHV Chairman, father of the modern day Neohumanist movement, Toni Van Pelt,
ISHV Policy Director and
Southeast Regional Director of the National Organization
for Women and Norman Allen,
ISHV Director
of International Outreach, founder
and former executive director of African Americans for
Humanism will be featured on the program and will participate in
meetings with the French Humanist Philosophers in
Sorbonne and Ecole normal superieure.
The Institute for Science and Human
Values is concerned primarily with the question of human
values and whether we can identify those that are shared
across the spectrum of belief systems in the world.
One of the main objectives of the meeting
is to support the UNESCO idea of New Humanism for the sake of
bettering conditions for dialogue, renovation and
solidarity worldwide.
