911 Anniversary Dedication - The World Potential Center at Ground Zero (www.worldpotentialcenter.org) is launched for the Second Anniversary of the 9/11 attack.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The formation of the World Potential Center (WPC) is about historic change, it will be a Global Learning Center for human evolution and transformation. Consisting of a multifaceted facility containing Visitor, Learning and Leadership Centers, and a Global Interactive E-learning facility the WPC will focus on positive change globally.

Earlier this summer the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) (the State agency overseeing the reconstruction of the WTC site) issued an Invitation to Cultural Institutions interested in becoming part of cultural facilities on the World Trade Center site. The new World Trade Center will house a vast cultural complex covering more than 400,000 square feet of space.
   
In response to this request Downtown resident, business owner, and former Director of Web Production for Tradescape Securities (now E*trade Professional) Ted Schulman conceived the WPC project. I was two blocks away when the Towers came down and I look at the site every day out my window only two blocks away. I've spent the last two years healing and trying to come to terms with the destruction of my neighborhood. Since 9/11 I have become involved in the community development Downtown. When the LMDC issued its request, I felt that we as a neighborhood and nation should respond in the most positive way possible. About ten years ago I produced the Learning Center at Ellis Island, an interactive classroom with custom curricula. The advances in technology now allow us to create global learning centers that in a few years will be accessible by anyone anywhere on Earth."
                                 
The WPC initiative seeks the participation of the world community in articulating an Integral Framework for personal and social transformation that will ultimately increase global coexistence, personal opportunity, representative government and conflict resolution. By developing an integral framework for better understanding between people, neighborhoods, cultures, and nations, regardless of differences the WPC will truly honor our heros.

During the construction of the new World Trade Center, which is expected to be completed sometime between 2006 and 2008, WPCs plan calls for the creation of a storefront visitor and learning center across the street from the WTC site.

The legacy of 9/11 will be formed by our response as a neighborhood, community and nation. Honoring the heroes and victims, their memory and our spirit to move forward - The World Potential Center will be a global source of learning and light that will spread knowledge and coexistence throughout the world.
