Building Community Consortiums 

The key to creating sustainable Community consortiums is the development of means of rapprochement communication. 

We Can Create A Peaceful World Through Rapprochement Communication Skills

    There are many who want to hold us back from our evolutionary future. Our evolutionary future is the embedding of sustainability as the basic underpinning of every development project.  They want to keep all of us apart because we have been born into different Mind Clones. They want us to move toward being negative Mind Clonish instead of moving positively along the Mind Clone Spectrum of Acceptance.  They want to separate us instead of finding ways to bind us together.

    The fact is our global  way of life is evolving rapidly.  We cannot even adjust to one change before the next one takes place.  Our former way of life, with different Mind Clones living seperately is over forever. We are all coming together in real time.  Those of us who want to practice Sports Adventure Tourism in a sustainable, responsible fashion are in conflict with those who want to "ruthlessly use" the environment as much as they want.

A clash of cultures, of ethnic groups, of different Mind Clones.  It will not be long before could begin to have even more Mind Clone clashes. Those who wish to exploit our planet without restraint are as different from those of us who want sustainable development as a dinosaur is to a cheetah.  

What happens when those who want to develop a Sports Adventure Tourism project on their own property are driven off by 4 wheelers who cut fences, trespass and destroy fragile habitats?  Should we shoot trespassers?

    We are going to need to create a new model for living together as we develop the Global SAT Economy so all our disparate Mind Clones learn to live together. We are going to need to create rapprochement.  Here are the skills of Rapprochement Communication.  

1) Leadership skills- develop ways to "Expand Permitteds" for all populations e

2) Written Communication skills - share the "Permitteds" in many ways so followers know what they are and how to achieve them - with facility in both written and

3) Spoken Communication - the ability to communicate in public speaking and interpersonal communication

4) Presentation Skills - Gain skills to train your community members in new, effective methods and techniques

5) Organization Skills - Learn fast ways to organize learning materials as well as processes for information transfer

6) Personal Growth Skills - Enable your employees to carry on lifelong programs of skills development to maximize your return on investment

7) Personal Character Skills - Staff develop persistence, learn to deal with adversity, and handle criticism so your community members has the mental toughness to propel your SATBI to maximum competitive advantage

8) Community Building Skills - Make your community programs and projects hum with motivation and higher productivity

9) Mind Clone Shifting - The ability to move along the positive end of the Mind Clone Spectrum of Acceptance

10) Native Speaker Fluency - The ability to communicate In The World Interface Language at the level of native speakers of the American English language

We are going to have to create consortiums and bring disparate Mind Clones together.  We need to create a worldwide Expanding Permitted Culture that can eventually take our species to a sustainable world where all our basic needs are met.  It's going to have to include many people with many different core values. 

The most important thing is that the person has a right to exist even though he or she does not agree with us on many matters. Therefore it is our responsibility as leaders  to create a framework in which all of us can live and be productive.

A Key To Achieving Rapprochement Between Disparate Groups Is understanding Core and Peripheral Values

Any time you have two or more people discussing an idea or project or how to do something, each person is carrying two sets of values. Some values are negotiable and others non-negotiable.

A. Central Core Values are non-negotiable

B. Peripheral Values are negotiable

A.1 Central core values are inflexible and define who we are

B.1 Peripheral values are where flexibility occurs. We define how we could change and who we could become or what we could become

EXAMPLE: PAPER is a core value. Civilization demands paper; they want hard copy even off the Internet.

Non-Wood paper is a peripheral value; it is how you do it, which is different than saying you can't have paper at all.

A.2 Some Central Core value examples:

•  Meeting the basic criteria of maintaining sustainability of world forest reserves
• Fighting the greenhouse effect
• Creating a working environment for continued interactions between consortium members
• Developing waste free and environmentally sound systems
• Accepting the validity of each group and its right to exist
• Making systems profitable that provide a reasonable return on investment
• Serving as a source of employment and foreign exchange procurement
• Learning from every one and each other
• Dedicating to planting more trees

B.2 Peripheral values examples

• how many trees to plant
• how many trees to cut
• what will we use the trees for

The reason we need to know about the core and peripheral values is that when we pull together a consortium, the first thing we need to find out is what the core and peripheral values are of each person. We have to find a place of rapprochement of the peripheral values and not impinge upon the core values. The peripheral values are the negotiables which can be worked with so projects can proceed.

Please Share Your Ideas On Creating Rapprochement With Us?

How do we develop programs for creating rapprochement among all our myriad Mind Clones?  Please share any ides you have and we will post them on this website. Here is a vital key belief:

There is a commons, a place where everyone can work together. There is a common ground for agreement, a place to stand where peace can begin.  I learn more from those who disagree with me. Those who think as I do don't jar my thinking as much.  

We learn by creating a bond, strengthening that bond into a link, creating more and more links so we can see we are all one. Even as the Earth is one, so we all are one. Always there is SOME ground for agreement. Go into a meeting with the "I know, no matter what, there is some grounds for agreement" mind set. Then we can find it.

We accept the fact that no group, no industry, no organization, nor no individual can regenerate and create a sustainable Earth alone. It involves moving all of us to a mind set in which only sustainable development will be acceptable and the Herculean task of moving all Humans' core values to include sustainability as a basic definer of Human life. 

Therefore, we postulate that every group must be drawn into many separate consortiums and ultimately into one consortium of consortiums through the Internet so that communication will be facilitated and effective.

It is vital that ecologically sound, sustainable development be a key part of the development of the world polyeconomy. Sustainability can only be attained and maintained by meeting the needs of all the players. These are some of the players whose needs must be met and who must be involved if we are to successfully meet the Sports Adventure Tourism Sustainability challenge and create a Global SAT Community.

Need a new soccer stadium in your community? Want to bring major league football to your city but can't get the bond issue passed? What about school board taxes? What about getting a green corridor for birds and wildlife? Maybe the horse community wants to establish a series of trails for their use. 

Want to make a large scale tree planting project a part of your community? What about a light rail system? What happens when your community needs a new swimming pool, a new orchestra, a new facility for all the people? How do you get the people to work together and take ownership of it.

You do it through education, through the involvement of the people. You get the people involved in the eight step problem solving process. You achieve it through ownership - through getting people to buy in. You get the people of your community to feel a sense of belonging to the project. You create a team ownership/membership organization of dedicated people. 

You have pep rallies, step by step guidelines and create a sense of shared achievements. And all this must take place in a high diversity environment. You need a system of diversity communication to bring all the people into ownership of the project.

Invite ISAI to offer your group a presentation on how your community can come together for your project

The industries that must come together to create a sustainable Sports Adventure Tourism future includes: 

• The Forestry Profession so that its intellect, integrity and dedication can be brought to bear on the problem in an Sports Adventure Tourism context
• The Pulp and Paper Industries so they can continue to produce the paper products our society cannot live without
• The Information Professionals who must develop information transfer systems so that every person in the world becomes aware of the need for seeing all their activities vis a vis the forest
• The Shipping Industries so that they can develop new methods of shipping tropical raw materials to the processing sites in developed countries
• -  Firewood Users so they can learn to use Leucaena,  giza sorghum, fuel briquettes as well as other alternative fuels such as biogas, solar energy, etc., to meet their cooking and heating needs
• The Ecology and Environmental Communities so they will be able to continue to serve in a watchdog and activist function to ensure that all projects are ecologically sound
• Economists so they can be turned to the job of assisting project developers in creating economically viable sustainable Sports Adventure Tourism projects
• Entrepreneurs so they can develop new ways of creating SAT businesses which are ecologically sound
• The Logging industry so they can turn their years of experience into creating ecologically sound methods of using present equipment and develop ways to retrofit and recycle this equipment so it has lower negative impact on the environment and indeed create a positive impact
• Small Scale Farmers so they will be able to develop methods of food production and income generation by serving local Sports Adventure Tourism businesses
• Governments so that they will be able to generate foreign exchange at the same time they create and implement long term plans for the protection of their country's natural resources through SAT supported development
• Futurists so they can turn their computer simulations and futuristic thinking to conceptualizing and developing sustainable models of long term sustainable development
• Donor Groups such as USAID so they grant contracts to those individuals and groups truly interested in sustainable SAT focused development instead of basing grants and contracts on racism, sexism, old boy networks and political interests
• International Investors so they can apply their considerable resources to the development of profitable SAT projects that will make the entire program attractive worldwide
• Consulting and Engineering Firms so their project development and evaluation skills can be brought to bear to bring theoretical projects into realized projects
• Equipment Suppliers so they realize that they need to use their recycled equipment where the trees will be grown in the tropics and begin to develop joint ventures and partnership arrangements with tropical forest owners and SAT entrepreneurs
• Caring and Concerned Individuals who may want to volunteer their time to work with campesinos, cooperatives and other low income groups in developing SAT projects
• Non-Profit Organizations who may wish to extend their caring, helping role to replanting the world forest and developing SAT community projects
• World Tourism Industry who needs forests to create the positive ambiance for resorts and other tourist destinations may want to participate in the world forest regeneration
• Churches and Religious Groups who want to apply their Earth stewardship concepts to regenerating the Earth
• Green Businesses who need the forest as the source of the products and services they offer the world
• The Military who needs to be redirected toward fighting the real war - the war to regenerate the our planet and ensure the survival of us all
• Refugees who could serve an economic function, regain their self esteem and become a vital part of the regeneration of communities through tree planting and dooryard tree projects
• Nurseries and Seed Suppliers who will have to be mobilized and vastly increased in number to meet the needs of tree planters involved in regeneration
• The Street Children of Latin America which ISAI will develop into a vital Soccer Force for replanting the degraded lands of the Western Hemisphere and developing community consortiums
• The International Sports Adventure Institute which will serve as the nexus for consortium building, a focal point for bringing together these groups
• The Forests of the World who are living, breathing organisms whose biological, population and community needs must be considered in developing tree planting schemata
• The Earth itself - which is a system, a synergistic, living organism with an equilibrium point. The Earth  must be regenerated before the deforestation and desertification process moves it too far from its center and it undergoes violent oscillations as it seeks a new equilibrium point, a new set of climatic and geological parameters, which may or may not support life as we know it.
