Sophia Circles

                                          Transforming Our World Together

Sophia Circles is an Interfaith Education and Global Action Network which serves to communicate, coordinate and celebrate the social development endeavors of organizations, groups and individuals. Working in close partnership with the Sophia Women’s World Conference, Beijing Circles Initiative, and other agencies, Sophia Circles will focus on the implementation of three goals and strategies:

                  Actualizing the UN Beijing Platform for Action and CEDAW

                  Achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals

                  Attending the Environment: Bali Outcome and Water

Sophia Circles is a collaborative platform whose mission is to educate, engage and enroll millions of individuals and organizations, yet involved or connected into this global movement for peace and social change.

The vision of Sophia Circles, conceived by world social activist Kimberly King in 2003, seeks to catalyze a global call to action that inspires people of every state, culture and faith to unite for the advancement of vial UN Living Documents to "transform the world together."

Principally, Sophia Circles strives to educate and align global issues and needs with local actions. By connecting global UN “Living Documentsâ€� to community-based initiatives,  the power of both individuals and collective groups can be leveraged to accelerate progress toward a just and sustainable world.  

Sophia Circles will work to: 

     Create global, regional and local community partnerships

     Link people and their initiatives to global human rights and social development

     Enable individual and collective sharing of best practices and lessons learned.

     Foster an environment for new collaborations and  joint-ventures to emerge

     Support the vibrant community of change-agents and world social activists

Sophia Circles will work closely with diversely collaborative partners from multiple sectors of society. Joint actions will advance the implementation of the SophiaWWC goals and strategies on the Journey to Bulgaria and Beyond.  

To meet the challenges of our times, human beings must develop a greater sense of universal responsibility...nation to nation, human to human, and humans to all forms.  ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
