ENI – On the occasion of his 77th birthday in October Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu expressed his continuing vision for "culture that espouses listening, of fellowship, dialogue, mutual respect and of working together across generations.
"To the elder generation, my challenge is, take your role seriously. Be sensitive to the needs of the wider society. See how you can contribute individually and collectively, and act," said Tutu, a former archbishop of Cape Town in South Africa.
"To the younger generation," he said, "my challenge is, learn from the older generation. Do not repeat our mistakes but build on our successes, and find new ways to make this world a better place."
