Global Villages Network and Dadamac July 9, 2010

Ref Resume for the Global Villages Network Franz Nahrada wrote "A good idea is that each group in a social network should have a resume like a person. So here is the Global Villages Network resume: " and then described  Global Villages.

I was fortunate to be at Franz's workshop in Vienna in January 2010. Towards the end one of the participants (Jakob) said that Franz had been creating a "community of communities" - so here is an introduction to the community connections that brought me to Global Villages.

It is a combination of a physical place, an online community, a philosophy of collaboration, and practical experience of cross-cultural collaboration enabled by the Internet and high trust relationships.

These links give a flavour of what I mean:

Thank you Franz for bringing us together in this network.
