Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am a host of the video blog
for the The Venus Project supporting teams. The topic of today's episode
is the structure of teams in support of The Venus Project.
Perhaps, after watching the movie "Paradise or Oblivion"
or after reading an article about the The Venus Project
you felt a desire to do something, help or participate
in turning Jacque Fresco's ideas into reality. Indeed, a lot depends
on us: can we work effectively
as a team and help with the implementation of The Venus Project,
after all, an oak is not felled in one stroke, there are still many
years of hard work of, perhaps, hundreds or thousands of people.
There will be interesting global challenges, the resolution of which
anyone can take part in, regardless of
special education or skills. we will cover the short-term
and long-term plans for the Venus Project and the teams in
our region in the next episode, because in order to understand
the inter-dependencies it is better to start with the
team structure.
The Venus Project. What is it? It so happens that the words
"The Venus Project" are attributed to Jacque Fresco,
its implementation, as well as the international organization
"Future by Design" and the project's research center, located
in Florida, and, in fact, the activism of the Venus Project.
Let's try to understand all of these concepts.
The Venus Project organization, with the pretext of "Future by Design"
takes the paramount place in the structure.
In this organization, Jacque Fresco,
Roxanne Meadows and several assistants are working
on the most important and major projects, provide advice
and comments on issues related to the Venus Project,
and help the movement to establish contacts and collaborate
with other organizations and sponsors.
After the release of the documentary films, radio, and TV shows
a lot of people around the world want to do something to help the project.
They work independently or together in small groups.
Their number is difficult to estimate, however
the Project's popularity is increasing every year,
and we observe that a lot of people are promoting
proposals of The Venus Project. Often, these people do not
know about the structure of the organization or the existence of well-established teams
And stick with more passive methods,
They organize discussion clubs or prefer
to work independently.
Activism has united the community supporting The Venus Project
worldwide. In our region, as in
others around the world, teams have arisen which
assist with the realization of The Venus Project.
In the early stages activism in different countries and regions
has been represented by points of contact (POCs), or, as we called them
coordinators for the countries and regions.
Activism was supervised directly by Roxanne Meadows, and her voluntary
assistants: Shawn Hodgins and Andrew Buxton.
Recently, the community decided to suspend
the recruitment of POCs, since such a method
was not very effective and gave tangible results
only in a few countries.
Now, activism represents the participation of volunteers in
certain teams, such as ours. In global terms,
Activism is called "the movement".
Hello everyone! My name is Stan, I represent the international educational team of The Venus Project.
Recently, we received a lot of questions
concerning the status and structure of the global activism
about which I'd like to clarify.
At the moment, we are being reorganized, but preliminarily
I can say that we will no longer be split
into three main branches as it was before: "Core", "Support" and "Design".
The Venus Project no longer regulates official activism
Instead, we have an International Activism project
which is being developed and managed by the project's coordinators.
Coordinators work in the same way as any
other project developed for The Venus Project.
Thank you all for your work and support, and have a happy life!
The creation of non-profit organizations (NPOs) within
countries with developed teams is no longer news. While developing,
the team must solve the increasingly complex issues
requiring registration as a legal entity.
It's the same team, but uses different tools in its work,
operating officially according to the contracts
and agreements with Roxanne Meadows. Organizations can be found
on the official website in the partnership section.
The organization "Pangaea" (Greece) would be a good example.
Among all existing organizations to date,
it made the greatest contribution
in the development of the project, working with sponsors and government,
in organizing large events.
In Ukraine, such an organization is the public society
"Designing The Future," which will be discussed
in the next episode.
Our region is at the forefront of the union of countries into
one professional team to support The Venus Project,
offering to bring discrete teams in
countries to a brand new level. This means,
the next step will be the reorganization into the international organization
that will bring together all the countries, all the accumulated experience
in teams, as well as available resources and established relationships.
So, country by country, in a streamlined and detailed script,
we will be able to rouse teams in other countries
and to achieve impressive results
in the assigned tasks.
In the next episode we will talk about the short-term
and long-term plans, the capabilities of our organization,
about how to join the team and to organize regular
meetings in your city.
