Dean to be in Rome on Interdependence Day. [View All]

I never heard of this event, and the article is a little confusing.
Sounds like it is held worldwide and in the states as well. It tells what it is, but I just never heard of it.

SNIP..."What is Interdependence Day?

Interdependence Day is an annual commemorative occasion for reflection on the reality of interdependence and its civic implications. In this post-communist, post-Cold War, post-9/11 era, Interdependence Day stands as a symbol of commitment to a more collaborative and humane future in which people throughout the world can enjoy the fruits of democracy--the promise of liberty and justice for all.

The first Interdependence Day event was held in 2003 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2004, celebrations will be held at venues around the nation and the world. The main event will be held in Rome, Italy, and will feature European Commission President Romano Prodi, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, Governor Howard Dean, and Polish Solidarity Leader Milan Kucan. Organizers envision that this will become an annual event, held each year on September 12 in communities, on college campuses, in churches, wherever people gather around the world..."

It sounds amazing to me.
