Why a World Game?
A World Game moves us beyond our own thinking. More and more, people have realized that our happiness on Earth and the future happiness of our children is not a private project. In fact, it is a communal and even planetary project. Thus, the World Game vision links to world culture development, particularly in the area of consciousness development, our focus on value, and our generosity of spirit towards each other.
Humanity’s story is our story. It is a story about growing a ‘world team’.
