Building the global community

In my book on building community, "Instructions From The Cook" (DesigningLife Books 2008), we talk about "recipes" for building community. Here's a recipe. What if countries across as many times zones as possible collaborate to create a program where people in any participating countries can spend 3 weeks every 3 years as "exchange workers" in other participating countries? They would be required to learn the language and culture and post appreciation stories on YouTube, and would be given free travel and coordination by the program. Imagine the incredible collapse of cultural, political, religious, and economic walls.

Brilliant! The results of "cross pollination" would be HUGE.

Thanks, indeed, we would finally become a networked planet, undermining and finally collapsing the exclusivity of colonistic hierarchies!
