GlobalNet21 started as 21st Century Network in April 2007 to discuss some of the great issues of the 21st century and then follow this up with further debate and action. It is about enlarging the Public Square where debate takes place using social networks to bring new audiences of people into that debate.
We hold events several times a month to create and expand engagement in the public square between citizens as well as corporations, government and NGOs where there is a common concern for the sustainability of both our planet and the people on it and to use social networking to enhance democratic discussion. We continue to do this with online discussion, regular well-attended public meetings and online meetings (webinars) that involve a global audience.
The group is very friendly and people often get together after our meetups to talk further and decide on further action. We have now started House Meetings as well that seem very successful.
