===Justification of the Need===
===Justification of the Need===
The need for far-reaching social transformations in our world is now widely accepted. All stakeholders also accept the fact that changes can also be implemented using participatory, democratic processes. The [[Structured Dialogic Design Process] is positioned as a powerful tool in this context. The purpose of this very timely symposion in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus year but to create the history of the future.  The community of practitioners of the 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 this symposion for a week and will deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.

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.  


Furthermore, we recognise the fact that our third millennium world needs new tools that can protect its sustainability and foster up harmony into its evolution. The Symposion will include sessions dedicated to identifying needs, recognising challenges and exploring options for new features and new solutions.
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.
 
The Symposion is furthermore very relevant to our present state of the world, since it could convey a possible extension of our SDD practices to include the birth of a Global Observatory. This could be managed by a group of us and give a relevant service to governments and companies and NGO's during the whole 21st century. The Global Observatory  could be providing information of the results of applications of collaborative action plans in different parts of the world, as well as data, and series of data regarding the main variables that we could establish for a follow-up policy by civilians all around the planet. 
 
In sum, 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.
