Dickson Mugendi David Ntwiga, a native of Kenya, is well known for community development and humanitarian work. He served as President of the Rotary Club of Meru and the Rotary Kenya Country Office Board and Assistant Governor for the district that includes Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan. He is the recipient of the Rotary Star President Award and the Women’s Human Rights Advocate Award for Africa and the founder of Solidarity International Trust (SIT) which helps women access start-up funds for income generating enterprises.

He represents three major US education institutions in Kenya and East Africa, including International Council for Education, Accreditation International (Ai) and the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).
Internationally, Dickson Ntwiga served as the Executive Director for the National Catholic Commission on Migration (NCCM). He had served as the Director of legal and Social Services in the same organization previously. In partnership with the UNHCR Bangkok, Ntwiga founded the first refugee shelter in Bangkok in 1999. And as it became apparent that most migrants and refugees had difficulty accessing public schools owing to a language barrier, he initiated a scholarship program in partnership with international academic institutions in Thailand, including the American School of Bangkok, KINCAID International School, British Council, Siam University, and Assumption University. Additionally, he established seven schools for migrants’ children along the Thai-Myanmar border. To bring the work of the human rights movement closer to that of the refugee movement, he opted to serve as an advisor on the refugee and migrant rights at Amnesty International Thailand in 2006 and attended the UNHCR’s Executive Committee Meetings in Geneva for 4 years, where he represented the NCCM as a Delegate. He served as a Voice Ambassador for Amnesty International in 2008.
Dickson has specialized in International Human Rights Law, and founded the “United Nations Human Rights Supporters” on LinkedIn which has more than 2000 members currently, most of whom work for international institutions with an interest in international development and human rights. He studied at Mahidol and Oxford Universities as well as studying Diplomacy courses at the University of New South Wales. He is the author of a book entitled “Protecting Domestic Violence Victims in U.S. Asylum Law” and a number of other academic papers.
Gitta Peyn, systems researcher and cyberneticist, co-developer of FORMWELT and WELTFORM, founder of the FORMWELTen Institute for Renewing Systems Research and the Larnaca Conferences.
Since 1988 she has been working with her husband on systemic and sustainable models, concepts and tools for communication, social and cognitive design and systemic complexity-conscious education and language. With FORMWELT team, she is in the process of building a global platform that empowers all people to systemic communication and education for understanding oriented global collaboration, superintelligent problem solving and human multiresilience.
In 2020 she presented what FORMWELT can do for intersectionality and collective intelligence in times of metacrises at the conference "Strategies for transformative global Leadership" organized by the United Nations and the World Academy of Art and Science.
Gitta will demonstrate that and how people and societies that try to narrowly manage their identities, problems and conflicts through sets of symbols, created by completely outdated education systems, lose their ability to decide in the long run and thus become a problem, cause for destructive conflict, even catastrophe for themselves and their environments. And she will deliver a FORMWELT oriented realistic vision of systemic education and how this will change humankinds ability to manage metacrises fundamentally.

Hans Kluge, Germany
“I probably don’t know the solution, though I admire the problem.” – Hans Kluge is creative nerd, agile project manager and systemic coach. With his leading question on “how to make work prettier” he is questioning organisational structures and preceding traditions. As a generalist he’s thinking beyond, tries out and enables in the given context.
After a standard business administration study and the according career-driven track through corporations and agencies the dissonance between the how we work and what we do grew. Starting a journey to find the more and future fitting solutions he stumbled upon
new work, agile methods, systems theory, systemic coaching, and other mindset bricks assembling an overall image. The guiding principle “I probably don’t know, let us find that out together” accompanied Hans to work freelance.
As a multidimensional bridge builder between tradition and future he is dedicated to project management with integrated coaching. In the scope of graphic and web/IT he provides creative eruptions and solutions outside the box.
Moderating and facilitating parts of the Larnaca Conference is an exciting trip in Hans’ journey for finding new future fitting solutions – leastwise knowing how to create them. Furthermore, he continues his FORMwelt research with practical utilization.
