Each and every one of us is caught up in the mechanisms of globalization, and today’s civil society believes that the fundamental values of liberty, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for the natural world or the sharing of responsibilities must underpin international relationships in the Third Millennium. We therefore have to give “human meaning” to globalization. To do so, we suggest that globalization should become involved in a contemporary form of humanism that arises from a philosophy/ideology that emerged in South Africa and is known by the name of Ubuntu. In the broadest acceptance of the term, Ubuntu evokes a sense of belonging to the community, of the unity of human nature, within a perspective of cooperation and sharing. We believe that languages, cultures, intercultural dialog and Ubuntu implicitly resonate with each other, are even bound up with each other, and that as regards globalization, they can make up an important rallying ground for civilian opposition.
