Democratic Political Settings
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Democratic Political Settings
|
People low on the social scale are often barred from political meetings. And for many reasons women, poor people, and others may not voice their views in meetings. New and reformed settings can establish a base of democratic experience for change in older, powerful settings. New settings that are open and democratic can give people who have never been invited to express their ideas an opportunity to gain experience and confidence.Edit

Big Tent for Social Change
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Big Tent for Social Change
|
When groups work on social issues without learning what other groups are doing, opportunities for cooperation are lost. Worse, groups that should be working together sometimes argue over fine points. Bringing groups together in a Big Tent event like the World Social Forum fosters better understanding of the enormity of the world’s problems. It can also encourage collaboration and cautious optimism.Edit

Opportunity Spaces
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Opportunity Spaces
|
Opportunities are critical as they help determine possible paths to the future. Opportunities can include classes and seminars, volunteer positions, jobs, timely announcements, contests, access to the media, mentoring, scholarships, grants and others. It is imperative to devote attention and resources to help create new (and improve existing) Opportunity Spaces for people and communities who need them.Edit

Strategic Capacity
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Strategic Capacity
|
Occasionally, a small group with meager resources fighting a powerful foe wins. One famous example is David vanquishing Goliath. Thousands of other struggles — against poverty, against oppression, against environmental degradation — retell this with equally improbable outcomes. Groups are more likely to have Strategic Capacity if they are imaginative and reflexive, have diverse membership, ties to many networks, and knowledge of various tactics and strategies.Edit

Media Literacy
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Media Literacy
|
Media Literacy allows us to critically view media and to evaluate the role that media play in our lives. The primary objective of Media Literacy is to develop awareness of our roles as active agents when engaging media. We must arm all people with the knowledge, skills, and values a media education program provides – granting people access to new technology and information about its workings and ideological implication. Finally, we need more alternative communication systems to counter these problems.Edit

Participatory Design
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Participatory Design
|
Many artifacts and systems do not appropriately address the needs of the people for whom they are designed. This can be avoided if the users of the systems (such as information and communication systems, buildings, and city plans) and those who will be affected by the systems are integrated into a Participatory Design process in an open and authentic way.Edit

Citizen Science
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Citizen Science
|
The role of science will become more critical in the years ahead, as health care, energy, resources, and the global environment become more problematic. Science needs greater participation from people, and people need a greater voice in science. Citizens, policymakers, and professional scientists all benefit by integrating scientific knowledge and local knowledge to bear on the problems that they experience.Edit

Mobile Intelligence
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Mobile Intelligence
|
We can't think or act intelligently in relation to the world if we think statically. The problem is that we think that things change, one-at-a-time when things are constantly in flux. The answer changes while you're still trying to understand the question. One of the main points of Mobile Intelligence is encouraging positive possibilities that the new technology opens up, such as emergency communications.Edit

Techno-Criticism
(Organizing Principles)
|
Text of
Techno-Criticism
|
An unquestioning reliance on technology can create a culture where people expect technological solutions to all problems. Technology can put decisions in the hands of the technologists, degrade public discussion, and divert attention, discussion, and funds. It often alters power relations between people, generally amplifying the power for some. We need to understand and anticipate to some degree the effects of specific technological artifacts and the broader implications as well.Edit

World Citizen Parliament
(Enabling Systems)
|
Text of
World Citizen Parliament
|
Governments and corporations have forums that further their interests. Civil society must create institutions that are strong enough to assert theirs. The deliberative bodies that we develop are likely to be advisory at the onset but hopefully will lay the groundwork for a more integrated and influential World Citizen Parliament as time goes on.Edit
