Future Democracy Beyond XR: How should the future democracy hub begin to reach beyond the XR network?
FDH exists to embed democratic practices in the DNA of wider society - not just within XR. To that end, we’d like to encourage local groups to start hosting democratic sessions for their communities/towns etc. seeking diverse and inclusive attendance... and this might be more readily achievable if we remove the “XR” branding from these sessions, but keep the “climate and ecological emergency” context. (Because while XR is aiming for 3.5%, any project worth the name “Future Democracy” will always be aiming for 100% ;) )
Perhaps we could keep the “future democracy hub” branding and explain it as an “offshoot” of XR... just thinking aloud here!
Further:
What might be discussed in these sessions?
What concrete outcomes might they have ?

Hi Edwin It's an app called telegram (like whatsapp) - not sure if it's just a uk thing though (not very tech savvy).

We're getting plenty of offers for training in democratic community structures - holocracy and sociocracy -
The sociocracy structure means that the local working group can form a central circle within XR, but members of this circle can join local groups outside XR, and they can also form new sociocracy circles outside XR. This means that we can also create a structure that facilitates independence from XR while XR members in XR the XR circle behave according to XR values and visions. It would be great for the XR local groups (as well as FDH) to have structures in place that enable us to build a confluence network in the community without getting bogged down with confusing questions like "are we XR or not". Please contact me at [email protected] if interested.
