Subject: [Announcements] Invitation for camp by Phase Five

Other Ways...
A camp for young people

organized by : Phase Five

October 28 to 30, 2002
at Asia Plateau, Panchgani


Our world is changing and our futures seem vague and uncertain. With 
globalization and the new world order, we are presented with both 
challenges and opportunities. The phenomenon of global fundamentalism 
is now forcing us to question and rethink our identities.

Democracies of the world have
floundered both at the level of governments and peoples. This failure 
is directly linked with inexperience in functioning positively as 
groups. Conventional education, with its emphasis on competition and 
individual achievements, ignores the precious art of group work.

Where do we go?

Phase Five invites you for an experience that every young person 
today needs and we hope, desires, to be part of a world on their own 
terms - a cleaner world where:
- negotiation and reconciliation replace conflict and war
- social responsibility, the entrepreneurial spirit and young 
leadership cure apathy and fatalism
- care for the earth stops damage to our environment for short term gains
- democratic decision making supersedes autocratic control
- respect for dissent and a celebration of diversity answer 
fundamentalism and violence

It is our conviction that development of these skills will help 
individuals of any vocation or career develop a more integrated 
approach and take charge of their own futures, making a difference to 
life at the same time.

Phase Five is an initiative of four young people to promote practical 
and relevant education by developing avenues of learning which go 
beyond academics to give youth a feel and competence for the real 
world.

Conventional formal education appears to have studiously avoided 
dealing with core issues of living. Phase Five offers young people, 
encounters with a world that is not compartmentalized into 
water-tight academic boxes. It is this integrated approach which can 
awaken the spirit of enterprise, involvement, responsibility, 
creativity and concern.

Phase Five works on issues of human development by generating 
awareness and appropriate action. Focussing on young people, it seeks 
to promote a culture of independent thinking, cherishing diversity 
and living democratically and ecologically.
