Overall, the project isn't so much as direct dialogue on one topic, as it is a holographic approach for integrally connecting the islands, both directly and indirectly with the rest of the world. By bringing all the small islands together as one 'whole' under the umbrella of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, in Project Unity in Diversity, they may present their individual and unique issues along with their combined needs and those identified in the nearby regions, as shared global concerns. The goals are to express and understand the problems experienced during this very important time of climate change for which the world has little information.

 

Other major objectives are to raise awareness for the island people who just like everyone else, have their own identity, history, culture, dreams, plans and families. Although at first glance, it may appear a 'separate' region with people living under unique oceanic conditions, they are indeed connected with their own home and their lifestyle.

 

GDF Project Pacific-Cultural & Small Islands aims developing a web of collaboration providing employment for local communities in a structure which empowers attendance to the changes in the marine eco-system and bio-diversity. Through it, the local people will develop their own standards relevant to their lifestyle, families and especially, those important for the environment and the global community.

 

As we brace together as a global community towards safeguarding our future on our only home- planet Earth, hearing the voice of the small Pacific Islands as 'one', will serve as the most practical for the region, especially since the local people know this part of the world better than anyone else.
