Mission
THE TELOS-PAUL PICCONE INSTITUTE DEVELOPS NEW IDEAS FOR ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY WORLDWIDE THROUGH THE RESOURCES OF PARTICULAR COMMUNITIES AND TRADITIONS. CENTERED AROUND A UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF SCHOLARS AND PRACTITIONERS, THE INSTITUTE COMBINES CRITICAL ANALYSES OF ISSUES OF MODERNITY WITH A SENSE FOR ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES IN ORDER TO CREATE INNOVATIVE POLICY IDEAS. AT THE SAME TIME, THE FOCUS ON COMMUNITIES AND TRADITIONS GROUNDS THIS VISION IN TERMS OF LOCAL PERSPECTIVES AND DECISION MAKING.
