Causes: Leadership Development
Mission: The chumir foundation for ethics in leadership is a non-profit foundation that seeks to foster policies and actions by individuals, organizations and governments that best contribute to a fair, productive and harmonious society. The foundation works to facilitate open-minded, informed and respectful dialogue among a broad and engaged public and its leaders to arrive at outcomes that help to create better communities.
Programs: Security dialogue with tensions escalating within and beyond the euro-atlantic region, security discussions are useful in reducing risks, rebuilding trust and increasing security; and the search for specific policy recommendations and further program initiatives is similarly worthwhile. The chumir foundation is developing a new initiative in light of current conditions, including the consideration of a mutually beneficial economic pact or other shared interests among at least the us, russia, and china that could also induce improvement of the relationships to permit progress on security matters. Technological innovation, economic growth & economic distribution the chumir foundation and the brookings institution are working together to reach a better understanding of the paradox of dramatic technology advances, occurring contemporaneously with slow growth, even stagnation, in overall productivity and output and a very disparate distribution, both within and between countries, of such incremental income and wealth as is generated. The project aims at a better understanding of the causes, dynamics and appropriate policy responses that would foster innovation, while dealing with the growth and distribution circumstances that threaten social stability and fairness and give rise to politics of anxiety and social divisiveness. Arts in society institute consideration is being given to facilitating a global center for research, thought, teaching, dialogue, innovative performance and exhibition addressing the role of the arts, in their multiple forms and combinations, within and between communities. This thinking is based on the premise that a society that actively engages the arts as a constructive influence and vehicle to communicate its values, while embracing a diverse and pluralistic world would likely produce cross cultural understanding. North american foreign policy institute for educationin its second year, the nfpai seeks to mobilize schools and communities of north america (u. S. , mexico, and canada) to engage in dialogue on contemporary issues of international relations. Educators, students and community members become better informed on international issues, policy choices, and their consequences through explanatory materials and dialogues with policy makers, academics, and diplomats as well as multimedia sources that will help create superior community leaders. Forced displacement: challenges and responsesinitiated by the chumir foundation and guided by leading thinkers from global political, policy, business, and civil society backgrounds, this project is searching for the policy lessons of past experience for realizing manageable, even positive, impacts from population inflows where they occur; convenes an expert review of its research and recommendations and a world commission to focus and properly re-characterize public dialogue and recommend best practices in current circumstances. There are currently 65 million forced displaced and numbers are growing as a result of conflicts and expected climate changes. To avoid the waste of a great many lives, economic development in the global south near, and, if safe, at, points of origin; resettlement in the developed world; and, responsibility sharing by those able to do so, should all be addressed.
