Dear Readers,

Welcome to the Institute of Cultural Affairs International magazine, “Winds and Waves”.

The ICA has always seen part of its role as providing timely and important information regarding our activities of Community Development around the world. In the past we have done that through regional newsletters, the Internet and various journals. We now endeavour to also provide a magazine which will expand on those avenues of information dissemination.

This issue of the magazine highlights the intense work being put into the ICA 8th Global Conference on Human Development, to be held in October this year. Please mark your calendar accordingly.

We also believe the articles and reports in this issue will reveal the amazing scope of work being carried out by local ICAs around the world.

Enjoy.
