The need for far-reaching social transformations in our world is now widely acknowledged. All stakeholders recognize the fact that social change requires participatory, democratic processes. The [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]] is positioned as a powerful tool in this context. The purpose of this timely international gathering in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus years but to create the history of the future.  The community of scientists and practitioners of the [[Dialogic Design Science|science of dialogic design]] has now expanded to include people from all parts of the world and a variety of languages and cultures.  This dedicated community of scientists will gather for a whole week to deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.

We recognize the fact that our third millennium world needs new methodologies and new tools capable of harnessing the collective wisdom of people from all walks of life in order to protect its sustainability and foster up harmony into its evolution. The event will include sessions dedicated to identifying needs, recognizing challenges and exploring options for new features and new solutions. Each day will include a Keynote Lecture, a Symposion, a Co-Laboratory and a an Evening Lecture all focusing on the same challenge. Some sessions will be parallel offering opportunities for senior members of the Global Agoras to deliberate on their own and to other participants to present and attend a classic-type conference.

No claim is being made abour the superiority of the [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]], even though there is substantial empirical evidence, from more than 1,000 applications in the arena, to this effect when dealing with the management of complexity.  SDDP belongs to the Third Phase of Science, and as a consequence it is meant to be complementary to other methodologies originating from First and Second Phases of Science.
