Broadcast Networks

The importance of broadcasting coheisive messages from civil society cannot be over-emphasized. All too often even when there is a progresive event that features great content showcasing solutions in an inspirational way there are relatively few people being exposed to the event. Events take a lot of time and energy to organize and stage. With this in mind it is absolutely CRUCIAL that we focus on reaching as many people with as many broadcast channels as possible.

There are already several broakcast networks that we have connections to partner with including networks working on Sustainable Development programming, progressive issues, conscious entertainment via cable networks, web-cast networks, and others. Some of our networks we have connection with already have established channels in many countries around the world.

We will start with those networks we already have connections with and then continue to network and build even more from there.
