Statement of Shared Purpose 3.0

This Statement of Shared Purpose (v3.0) was co-created together with the 350+ participants of Bio Summit 2.0 in 2018. Gratitude to Abel Cano and Marshall Ganz for working with us to develop the experiential process that yielded this statement, and also to Melissa Teng and Gianni Giacomelli for the thoughtful discussion and help. It is an important draft to help our global family communicate and make explicit the implicit, and articulate what brings us all together.

Deep appreciation and gratitude to all who contributed to the statement and the process!
