'''BONUS: Ban Ki-moon - UN Secretary-General lecture in Prague 4th April 2014'''
It happens that Ban Ki-moon (Pan Ki-Moon in Czech), the UN Secretary-General visited Prague and gave a lecture at Charles University on Friday 4th April while we were enjoying our Spring School in Týnec. I'd like to share part of his lecture with you:
''The late Vaclav Havel [former Czech president] spoke about this when he addressed the United Nations in the year 2000.''
''He said, “The most important thing that we should seek to advance in the era of globalization is a sense of global responsibility.”''
''Your family, your community and your country are all extremely important – but their security alone is not enough. You have to rise above your personal and national interests.
''
''You can do this in many ways – as a doctor, an artist, a politician or a philanthropist.''
''No matter what profession you choose, and even before you start your career, you can be an activist.  Just by using technology in the palm of your hands, you can monitor human rights, spread your views, and press for action.
''
''That is my call to you now.  Be a global citizen.''
''Stand up for peace, justice, human rights and human dignity.
''
''Stand with the United Nations.
''
''And stand tall, in your own fields, as champions of our common values.
''
''Thank you.''
