Since I started this blog I have focused on a few mass collaboration projects happening with the aid of technology. A new project called the Charter for Compassion is a collaboration project recently started with religion being the central theme. It is the TED prize wish of Karen Armstrong.

The aim of the  Charter for Compassion is to build a peaceful and congruent world by bringing together the voices of people from all religions and highlight that all faiths share the principle of compassion. The website will run over the next couple of months and anybody can contribute to the charter making use of group-decision software. The Council of Sages made up of a group of religious leaders and thinkers from different religions will then craft a final version. Once this is complete the  Charter for Compassion will be publicized and promoted around the world.

The idea is to spread the word to others by inviting them to visit the website and offer their words in different languages to focus on what religions share and not what divides them.  The video below explores the subject.
