Our Information Age Community concept to integrate urban-rural economies across Minnesota and more.

The project requires community engagement and our goal is to put together a 3 minute video illustrating individual perspectives on what it means to lose their schools, churches, social clubs etc.. That represents the entie supportive social structure for farmers and other rural producers. Thisis ot right or moral when there are alternatives.

Our goal is to recruit video/journlist directors from multiple colleges to form a production team. This project would be the first task. but if successful, it could become an ongoing program. (Ditto for the IT side of things which would actuallly create a Community Information Center)

This project consists of developing a budget to execute the following- and then executing it:

  1. Identifing colleges with a video/journalism program
  2. Recruiting video/journalist directors to join the "team"
  3. Preparinng the jounalist/interview script
  4. Recruit the students and deliver an on-line ...pep talk?
  5. Launch the participating students
  6. Gather up all of the footage and prepare a 3 minute video --- we have $-- per month for every issue imaginable but there is nothing for rebuilding community viabiiity

Mission Statement

Building Stronger Communities through Telecommuting

Description

Telecommuting mitigates travel and therefore mitigates the impact of spatial separation. If you provide a Suite of Telecommuting Services that supports your activities electronically you can live anywhere while simultaneously putting people back into our neighborhoods and small towns.

Teleworkers seek social interaction- if they don't get it during the work process they will engage in church, school and other community activities after work. This is a great opportunity for our non-profit community to capitalize on!

Employers that employ STRATEGIC telework become more profitable, reduce facilities (and their emissions) and reduces trips (reducing accidents, energy consumption and emission release).

Telework begins the paradigm shift and moves us closer to the Information Age. In many policy and operational arenas we remain locked in the Industrial mindset.

Tele-Commuter Resources has developed the Distributed City Model that discusses the evolution from our politically defined urban regions to an integrated urban-rural economic service area. At the core is telework. We have built tools and strategies for employer based deployment of telework that aggregate into a regional deployment plan.

Though we are still striving to prove the theories and the value of our tools, there is no question that our direction is right and our hoped for results are inevitable.

We need your help!
