Caravan is an initiative in which people from all over the world discuss the reorganisation of a global humane society without exploitation, oppression and war. Half men and half women, they come from all cultures, all social and productive spheres, including outsiders and minorities, and form a caravan that moves from West to East Africa to discuss issues necessary for the survival of humanity. Unlike the United Nations, they do not represent the interests of specific countries, but represent needs that apply to the community of all people.
They meet to engage in dialogue among cultures:
To discuss their ethical values, to exchange ideas about social change, possible new forms of living together, human rights, laws and justice, science and ecology, rationality and irrationality; creatively gifted people express these contents in artistic forms.
They organise their living together during the caravan in councils concerning food, health and conflicts; general questions in plenary meetings.
The results of this work are recorded and published.
They are accompanied by experts in desert, medicine and technology.
