OneWorld is dedicated to working with others to bring about a vision of a world where resources are shared fairly and sustainably, where human rights are nurtured and protected, and where democratic governance structures enable people to shape their own lives. It therefore responds to organisations from different corners of the world who share the same vision. They work together to support the OneWorld partner organisations and create the OneWorld pages for their particular regions.

OneWorld is engaged in a process of exploring the editorial implications that confront an organisation in a new medium.
How does one communicate the big picture of the world's harsh realities, not just the lop-sided story available from the mainstream media?
Can one be 'objective' and yet committed to change for the better?
Should the journalistic standards and limitations that confront web-communicators be the same as those facing conventional journalists?

These and other critical issues will be debated in seminars for OneWorld teams under the auspices of the OneWorld International Foundation over the coming months.

OneWorld means membership of a community of organisations working from a range of perspectives and backgrounds to promote sustainable development and human rights. OneWorld aims for partnership to reflect no single orthodoxy, but to nurture debate and to value difference by promoting inclusive and participatory global communication.

Each of the centres in the network houses a partnership manager who administers partners in the centre's locality.
Each centre also houses an editorial team that puts together their local editions (when they have one). The editors also make available, each day, their local partners' material to all of OneWorld's global sections. An example would be the forthcoming thematic channels that some centres will produce. The Indian Channels editor, for instance, manages OneWorld Learning Channel, from India, but it incorporates relevant material from OneWorld partners all over the world.

Thus it is essential that the network's many centres work well together, in an interdependent and co-operative way. One of OneWorld International's major tasks is to ensure this global interchange, both at the practical level of technology, and through teamwork and knowledge sharing.
