VISIONARY

“If the world is to change for the better it must start with a change in human consciousness, in the very humanness of modern man.” ~ Václav Havel

Havel continued the search to answer fundamental questions of knowledge, being and human existence, through the Vision 97 foundation. The foundation operates in the sphere of social care, education, healthcare, as well as responding to society’s current needs. An objective of the foundation is to find and support projects which look to the future. Hoping for a better future for his fellow and global citizens, Havel also established the Forum 2000 Foundation, which provides a platform for global leaders, as well as thinkers and courageous individuals from every field of endeavor, to openly debate and share critical issues. The conference has hosted such renowned personalities as Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger.
