A Big Project is a one year effort to build on the momentum for change being seen throughout the world by uniting people from every country around a single goal: to explore a global vision for a new way forward. We are looking for 10 visionary leaders from every major region of the world to help us. (*We are currently looking for non-U.S. residents.)
From Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street to uprisings in Zimbabwe, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, the U.K. and across the world, there are now millions of people who agree things cannot stay the way they are. This project will build on the momentum for change by bringing friends and family together from every country to explore the answers to four questions:
If the world as it currently exists were to radically shift tomorrow, and we had an opportunity to recreate the world…
- What would you want to keep from this world?
- What would you want to leave behind?
- What could people do differently now to help us get to that world?
- What is one thing that you would be willing to do differently to help get us to that world?
We will then call on artists around the world to help translate the common themes that emerge from the conversations into songs, pictures and other mediums of creative expression. Then, on December 20, 2012 (the day before the Mayan Calendar predicts a global shift in thinking) we will set off an international explosion of art and music in an effort to bring a new sense of hope and possibility for global progress.
We are seeking volunteers from around the globe who are talented, passionate, and see the potential of this project to capture the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Ten volunteers from every major region of the world will be selected to participate on the International Fire Starter Committee which will initiate all levels of an intensive five phase plan. Volunteer roles and responsibilities for each phase will be shared on a global webinar/conference call in early February.
Please visit www.abigproject.org for more information and to view our Five Phase Plan Timeline.
We would love to hear your comments and please share this information with as many of your international contacts as possible. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for all you do for education around the globe.

Un paisaje sin precio, accesible a todos para el disfrute por la propia comunidad originaria.
Los ecosistemas del planeta recuperados, con ciclos completos.
La gente debe conocer al Otro ser humano en su hábitat, en su contexto y amar. Dejar la guerra, el odio y el exterminio por la fuerza física, armamentista. Quitar el acelerador del crecimiento económico de unos pocos y dedicarse a generar el desarrollo humano integral. Para ello, dejar el modelo consumista y los mensajes de éxito y poder de quienes generan la demanda. Que los alimentos sean para evitar la hambruna y no para combustibles y asientos de vehículos. Evitar la usurpación de los bancos de semillas y el apoderamiento del agua dulce. Cambiar el modelo de uso del suelo.
Enseñar y aprender por todos los medios de comunicación presencial y virtual que estamos en una situación de vulnerabilidad planetaria. Es ahora el cambio y sí que podemos hacerlo siempre y cuando tengamos los saberes, la voluntad y nos encontremos JUNTOS por el Vivir Bien y en Armonía con todos los seres vivos. Un equilibrio planetario. Discusión, análisis, reflexión y DIVULGACION. Asambleas presenciales y virtuales sobre los puntos que nos ocupan.
