THE EARTH IS FLAT
The world is one big village. People living thousands of miles apart are talking to each other. Persons who have never even seen each other write encyclopaedias together, draw Japanese cartoons together, map out the universe and develop new software together.
MEDIUM OF THE MASSES
The internet has broken through the traditional, dominant communications structure in which there was just one sender and many recipients. On the internet, everyone is a sender and a receiver simultaneously. It is not a mass medium; the internet is a medium of the masses. Anyone can create their own unique online world humans are as complex as the world itself.

YOU ARE THE LEADER
Within International Co-operation 2.0 there is no leader in the traditional sense of the word. YOU are the leader. YOUR behaviour determines the outcome of the process. That’s because you as a human being are central within International Co-operation 2.0.
