A few weeks ago I backed a project on Kickstarter called The World’s Fare. The project got funded, and this Fall, the organization The Feast will host an international, roaming dinner party called the World’s Fare that everyone is invited to participate in.
On October 5, 2012 at 7pm local time in cities everywhere, anyone can be a part of the dinner by bringing together 6-8 people for a feast (dinner) of their own. The purpose is to eat together and decide on one thing each group can collectively start to make the world better. It can be small –like fixing a fence or large such as supporting an effort to redefine an industry.
All of the groups who participate will be invited to share what they intend to build and change with the world at large online. These commitments will be shared through The Feast site, social media and showcased in a public art installation that will act as the central piece for a pavilion of innovation in NYC the next day.
This initiative is part of the organization, The Feast, which organizes the Feast Conference which brings entrepreneurs, radicals, doers and thinkers who are revolutionizing the way things work for the betterment of humanity. This year the conference is from October 3-5, 2012.
I plan to participate, and just put the event in my calendar. Now – I have to decide what to cook and who to invite.
