摘要

A new global consciousness movement has been arising in humanity for the past two decades. Much of this emergence is due to the ubiquity of the Internet and the ease of global travel, where we learn that we are more alike than we are different. This global consciousness movement has accelerated in the past few years as humanity shares in the impact of the poly-crisis of climate change, wars, the pandemic, and social injustice. In response, numerous organizations and initiatives have emerged to solve local and global challenges, with most of them using virtual space platforms such as Zoom. After defining key terms, this chapter describes four exemplary initiatives and offers practical suggestions for research and practice in elevating global consciousness in humanity.
