It was in the 19 Century that the Persian educationalist and philosopher, Baha’u’llah, wrote to sovereigns, leaders and members of parliaments throughout the world urging them to adopt a Universal Auxiliary Language (UAL) and script for all peoples of the world. Despite the fact that we are living in what has been heralded as ‘The Information Age’ the world at large is no closer now to resolving the challenges faced by humanity then we were two centuries ago. Rather we see widening rifts between abject poverty and wealth, education and illiteracy, responsible governance and corruption, support of ecological-systems and environmental desecration – none of which can be resolved by any one government or peoples alone. This paper examines how recent technological developments, such as the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative and WeSay, may hold the potential to enable a grassroots dialogue focused on finding a solution for these challenges possible. Maybe the time is ripe to heed that more than a century old recommendation.
