Visioning the Chaordic Institute

part of the DesignOfPilot pages

Everything starts with a vision...

Do participate in this visioning for the Chaordic Institute (and / or the Permaculture Network you would like to see):

(also see Wild Design page)

we want the vision to be a collective one, eventually, and the Chaordic Institute design to facilitate the realization of this vision.

- just write your vision here (no need to discuss the visions of any one else, at this point)

please don´t delete or question anyone else's work here, just add your own..

VISIONS

Martine

All active permaculturists have functioning profiles and understand how they can use the CI to 

find out about each other,

tell each other about their work,

understand the contribution of permaculture pioneers,

plan to work in collaboration,

make best use of precious opportunities to meet face to face.

Tomas

Designers and practitioners work together across national, cultural and continantal boudaries

Permaculturists share knowledge, skills and experiences

A widely accessed and accessible website (or wiki)

César

There are a full understanding of the objetives and functions of the institute, as a wonderfull complement of another projects, webs, etc.

It becomes as the central square of the "global permaculture transition town" where people see each other, take a rest after work, shares experiences, ideas, knowledge

Stella

: all of the above!

I would like that at IPC9 people arrive knowing something already about the majority of the people there: because they will have seen their faces and introductions on the web of an Institute's pilot. So we can concentrate on all the other new stuff coming at us.

• Me gustaría que la gente llegue a IPC9 ya conociendo algo sobre la mayoría de la gente ahí: porqué habrán visto sus caras e introducciones en la web de un piloto del Instituto. Así nos podemos concentrar en todas las otras nuevas cosas que nos llegan. 

That eventually we have something like a permanent online conference with people presenting their work to all their colleagues: like at a conference, but not just for the very privileged few that can travel.

• Que eventualmente tendremos algo como una conferencia permanente en linea, con gente presentando su trabajo a todos sus colegas: como a una conferencia, pero no solo para los muy pocos privilegiados que pueden viajar. 

For people to know each other, rich interchange of ideas across all borders, that can only happen when people get to know each other first as people, as friends, then as colleagues.

• Para que la gente se conozca, un rico intercambio de ideas a través de confines, que puede solo pasar cuando la gente se conoce primero como personas, como amigos, luego como colegas. 

That the quality control in our network is achieved by transparency, really by the PC community at large (this ideal is embodied in most of the Diploma assessment methodologies, but rarely achieved in practice: only a few privileged get to see the content of the work)

• Que el control de calidad en nuestra red se consigue por transparencia, de verdad por la comunidad de PC más amplia (este ideal es incorporado en la mayoría de las metodologías de asesoramiento de Diploma, pero raramente conseguido en la práctica: solo unos pocos privilegiados llegan a ver el contenido del trabajo).

Likewise re: above. Where our global learning community can interact, mentor etc...a doorway / hub into the chaordic world of permaculture on the ground. A place where we can engage in the feedback between theory and practice at a global scale.

I would like to see a better framing of the comunications, mostly in the convergence. I'm thiking about theme forums between existing permaculture organizations, where operators can share experience on same arguments:education, seed saving, invisible structure, human resources managment, etc. Issues that shouldn't be for the general public. And maybe invite an expert for each of the issues to cooperate at the forum. And to aim to get a protocol or a syntesys of the forum discussion to be posted on the web. It should be a very screen invitation process of the orgnization team in cooperation with the organization interested.

• Me gustaría ver una mejor organización de las comunicaciones, especialmente en la convergencia. Estoy pensando de los foros sobre temas entre organizaciones permaculturales existentes, donde los operadores pueden compartir experiencia sobre los mismos tópicos: educación, semillas, estructuras invisibles, recursos humanos, etc. Temas que no tendrían que ser para el público en general. Y quizás invitar un experto para cada uno de los temas a cooperar en el foro. E intentar crear un protocolo o una síntesis de la discusión del foro puesta en la web. Debería ser una invitación ....

I think that the movement needs a forum where the majority of the subjects doing and teaching permaculture comes to agreement to the standard PDC and to its improvements. Maybe a forum composed by the first and second generation teachers with some elements of the third generation, so that the protocol could have a recognized autorithy within the branches of the movement.

• Pienso que el movimiento necesita un foro donde la mayoría de las personas haciendo y enseñando permacultura llegan a un acuerdo sobre los estándares del PDC y su implementación. Quizás un foro compuesto de la primera y segunda generación de enseñantes con algunos elementos de la tercera generación, así que el protocolo podrá tener una autoridad reconocida dentro de las ramas del movimiento.  

I would like to see a basic human managment teaching program in the PDC's aimed to prepare teachers. Like what the friends of the OEAC are doing.

• ''Me gustaría ver un programa básico de enseñanza de organización humana en los PDCs para preparar a enseñantes. Como lo que están haciendo los amigos en OEAC.
