Version
Over least 12 months have talked to people designing metaverse to maximise millennials changing education and connect positive emotional intel some of call womens kindness (one ny billionnaire is launching her next leap on kindness on valentines day) with the help of my favorite recording studio in NY
NY first became my fav place in USA when 9 brave educators (eg world bank jim kim) in 2016 told the UN hq that the sdgs were unteachable without change to every way learning time is spent - that has become https://www.un.org/techenvoy/content/ongoing-work Before this the UN had nothing for me coming from 4 generations of diaspora scots who prefer not to spend life's time on top down system design
OS & META DESIGN NOW
another asian new yorker https://www.k20educators.com/ is in my searches a mile ahead in designing virtual spaces so you don't need to be tied to costs (and silos) of physical conference centres or lectures driven by costly certificates -
she has designed in about 4 best of meta-tools - eg augmented reality, game designs, blockchain to own what fashion or solutions you create or open source;
AND open space
so short question who might want to chat with her (of course you are welcome to contact her direct) but my new york friends are trying to linkin a calendar of stuff through 2023 where we aim to help communities take back the UN (or at least youth scalling sdg solutions across communities)
so as one example march 21 to 25 has first water-sanitation-habitat summit at hq for 20 yeras and i know jack sim from singapore who is number1 in telling stories on value of toilets; jack's own story includes selling his 40 companies in 1999 and spending the last 23 years or cooperation solutions BOP Hub
most of our new york meta- diary links in something asians are doing because they have for many reasons not seen the web as dominated by advertising;
long version can open space support k20 metaverse education and 50 years of development solutions mapped by end poverty's 1billiongirls
