1. A citizen network has been created in Liege.
At Liege,on the 3 and 4 November 2007,during the Peoples Congress session, a working group has proposed to work on the LINKS to advance our common globalist ideas to see one day, Institutions and a democratic World Parliament representative of all the peoples of the planet. In order to advance our ideas, we have to convince, create relationships,connections with the people who live by our side.A citizenship,a civism and global solidarity are meaningless unless they translate into citizens' initiatives at the local level that give reality to our ideas. It's on the ground of everyday life that we must lay the foundation of our group work to advance our ideas in the heads and to see them materialize at the polls.
This network is a credit to ASCOP

P.S.:At the very beginning of the year 2008, a new message will present the organization of the debate on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
WORLD UNITY:The becoming global democracy implies conceiving humanity as a people in quest of its unity.
A symbol---a day
On November 3,2007,during the first day of session of the Peoples Congress and the ASCOP,participants from 12 countries went to Eben Ezer(Liege,Belgium) near the Peace Tower to plant the 3rd World Unity Tree.Each participant was asked to bring along a bit of land from his/her country so that this tree draws its nourishment from it. Www.recim.org/ascop/pr09-an-htm.
On 4th of November,the Peoples Congress proclaimed the equinox day of March each year
''World Citizens Day--World Unity Day''. This vote took place as a result of a petition launched and presented by ASCOP.The meaning and history of this day are shown on page www.recim.org/ascop/pr08-an.htm
Obviously,it is hoped that this day should be celebrated wherever possible by all those who recognize themselves as World Citizens thereby expressing the fundamental political will which motivates them.
March 20,2008---March 20,2009
1. On July 22,2007, at a meeting between the World Citizens and the Universal Bridge Association(Togo and Switzerland),the planting of the 2nd World Unity Tree took place at KOHE.(Species of this tree) A Senegal's redwood.
Association aims at building a hostel to accommodate orphans and anyone in need of shelter.This house will equally host people in difficulty from Europe seeking to have a stay.
Daring to go and meet others in itself can only bring about the best to those living on the fringe of society.
One of the strongest points of Universal Bridge is the twinning of trade to trade. In other words,a young orphan from Kohe wishing to undergo apprenticeship is helped financially and morally sustained by a single or several professionals from Europe. For example,a mechanic will help an apprentice mechanic. It's an exchange of skills but also a human exchange where everyone can contribute a lot to the other.
3. A general assembly of ASCOP will be held in Paris,Sunday 30th March 2008. A provisional agenda is available at www.recim.org/ascop/odj-an.htm This agenda will be complemented by your proposals if possible before the 15th of March.

We were invited by the World Citizen Association (AWC) from Saxe-Anhalt to celebrate the equinox as "The Day of World Citizens" and the "Day of World Unity"
It was a big success under the high patronage of the president of the regional parliament Mr Steinecke
Among the 80 participants we have noticed the presence of:
All our thanks go to the Director of AWC-Esperanto, Mr Gerhard Hirchmann and Mrs Inge Grzyb, president of AWC Saxe-Anhalt who organised magnificently this meeting.
The presentations included addresses from several people, songs, dances and music.
