NEWS RELEASE
June 20, 1993 World Syntegrity Project To Be Launched From Over 30 World
Cities
World Citizens To Mandate World Governorship
BURLINGTON-The World City of Burlington, Vermont, joins over 30 world cities, July
23-25, 1993, in an historic event, the World Syntegrity Project, sponsored by the World
Government of World Citizens, founded by the pioneer World Citizen, Garry Davis.
In groups of 30, individuals all over the world will hold simultaneous
"Syntegrations" addressing the question: "How can we, sovereign world
citizens, govern our world?
Through a unique problem-solving process based on Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome
principle of "tensile integrity" or "tensegrity," this historic global
event will initially unite thousands of people around the world demonstrating world
democracy-in-action.
Designed by the eminent cybernetician Stafford Beer, the World Syntegrity Project
essentially is a systemic method of evolving world law from grassroots world citizens in
order to address world issues such as war, environmental pollution, endemic poverty,
hunger, disease and the like. The aim is to surmount the communication obstacles facing
the large numbers of people who wish to collaborate on issues of importance to themselves
and their communities by means of what Beer calls the "technosphere".
There are already groups gathering to "Syntegrate" in India, Columbia,
Canada, Brazil, China, Singapore, Mexico, Nigeria, Algeria, Germany, England, Wales, and
Australia. The results, in the form of "Consolidated Statements of Importance,"
collated by Team SyntegrityTM Inc., Toronto, Beer's parent organization, besides evolving
the World Government of World Citizens, will also be provided to organizations and
individuals involved in political and economic decision-making, including national
governments and universities around the world.
The Burlington Syntegration will take place in Edmunds High School on Main Street. The
Project Director is Wendy Walsh, 2348 New Street, Burlington, Ont., L7R 1J6, Canada.
Tel/fax: 416 681-7427.
