Un fragmento del documento de la UNESCO:
On 21 November, UNESCO will organize a Round Table on the main theme of the 2013 World Philosophy Day “Inclusive Societies, Sustainable Planet” and will welcome distinguished philosophers and intellectuals from around the world to UNESCO Headquarters. They will discuss the concepts of social justice, solidarity, exclusion and inclusion in different societies, issues related to vulnerability of various groups of people, including women, children, young people, people with disabilities, minorities, indigenous peoples, migrants, refugees, people living in poverty, and the interfaces between these issues and sustainable development. Their philosophical reflection will be developed based on the present-day concerns over the growing inequalities between the rich and the poor in many countries and between countries, which are at heart of public debates around the world and within the United Nations. The participants of the Round Table will explore such questions as: Are there moral or ethical principles that should be taken into account in public policies aimed at combatting exclusion and building inclusive societies? In case there are such principles, how can philosophy contribute to identifying them? Participants will also highlight the role of the participatory approach, respect for human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms, education to live together and empowerment with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to cultivate a culture of peace and respect for diversity in building inclusive societies and preserving a sustainable planet.
