Stockholm Dialogue Committee Stockholm Sweden
Compatriots! Following the tradition of organised conferences by Diaspora Gambians in looking into our common problems and finding solutions, we the Gambians in Sweden are hereby inviting you to Stockholm to make qualitative contributions in our Dialogue from June 29th -30th.
The Theme: Planning our Journey and Shaping our Destiny. This is no ordinary coming together and your presence and participation as a Gambian or friend of the Gambia is highly welcomed.
Our objectives are :
Sharing experiences among the Gambians in the Diaspora and those back home
Building alliances and cooperation on the way forward
Looking at the short and long term strategies
Creating a dedicated and committed working group
To pave the way for a Diaspora blueprint on the way forward
Follow up meeting on an EU-Gambian Diaspora meeting
It is going to be a historic event and we demand a high standard of discipline and an exemplary code of conduct from all those attending. It is not a matter of arrogance or belittling anybody, but from experience, we believe the times call for serious changes in our attitudes and the way we treat each other. We must respect each other in order to forge together anything meaningful for the country we all share and cherish. In developing the Code of Conduct for the dialogue we expect:
Mutual Respect
Focus on the conference
Teamwork Non-partisan
Clarity and openness
Delivery-oriented
There is no partisan grouping or partisan ideology behind the call for this meeting. The only common uniting force and idea behind its creation is the shared love for country and answering the call of duty to country. There will be a dialogue, but no lectures! We are not paying anybody’s travel expenses but we can lodge and feed everybody.
