Description of ODE Magazine: ODE - to people, to
passion, to possibilities
"We are an independent international journal, without strings to the
world of commerce and power. We believe in progress, ongoing
opportunities and the creativity of humankind. We contribute
to
progress by publishing stories about the people and ideas that are
making a difference. We address society's problems too,
because they
represent opportunities
for positive change. We publish the stories that bridge the
gap between
thinking and doing, between rage and hope, and the painful gap between
the rich and the poor. By doing so we build peace and
sustainability.
This is the news we promise to deliver. We offer our readers
the chance
to link up with an international network of inspiration and
cooperation, strengthening the forces devoted to respect, justice and
equality. This way we hope to invite them to make their own
contributions to a more just and sustainable world."
