KolDor Platform
January 2009
MISSION
To strengthen and further evolve individual and local connection to the Global Jewish People, by connecting diverse Jewish leaders and activists from around the globe and enhancing their capacity to act.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES IN 2009
• Building Relationships
o Specify options for engagement for networks, including partnerships and funding opportunities.
o Specify options for engagement for individuals.
o Reach an additional 100 individuals –The 2009 priority areas are Latin American and Eastern Europe/Former -Soviet Union, native-born Israelis and Israelis of Mizrahi and Ethiopian descent.
o Engage with 10 new diverse networks (50% new Jewish start-ups and 50% more traditional organizations) on an institutional level through working with their leadership and defining a specific form of partnership with each.
o “Beyond a Global Conference”: Create 5 live local, regional or virtual global interactions (“Beyond a Global Conference”) to strengthen network.
o Working with organizational partners to develop, through practice, what it means to be a neutral convener of institutions in the Jewish World, for the sake of connecting through Jewish Peoplehood.
• Sharing Ideas
o Generate new content beyond articulation of Peoplehood into articulation of paths of individual/local connectedness to the global Jewish community through the channel of Peoplehood, including through regional and web based content-focused meetings.
o Make the web platform a useful tool for sharing ideas and maintaining dialogue.
o Encourage those involved with KolDor to write and publish their ideas.
o Explore new ways of creating, collecting and sharing Peoplehood content in ways that will provide content as a path of individual, local, and worldwide Jewish connectivity.
o Engage existing organizations and work to continue to develop procedures to infuse organizations with KolDorian ideas and approach.
o Engage ritual/synagogue-based communities in content development process.
o Increase distribution of Paths to Peoplehood by at least 100 people.
• Catalyzing Actions
o Follow up from conference – mapping the network and collaborations that resulted. Seek to measure the impact of the KolDor 2008 conference in terms of collaborations and inspiration for new and ongoing participant projects.
o Enhance web platform usefulness as a tool for sharing actions and promoting collaboration.
o Create 1-2 new steering committees for “KolDorianizing/Globalizing” select initiatives.
o Financial restructuring
There are two primary platforms that will support this network-- virtually and face-to-face:
Conference/Meetings – Local, regional and global (virtual) meetings and conference calls will be held over the course of the year. Both “classic” KolDorians as well as leaders within existing organizations not yet fully engaged with KolDor will be invited to attend local, regional and at least one global (virtual) meeting during 2009. A focus will be placed on relationship development across networks, content generation, understanding the Peoplehood channel of connection and sharing the KolDorian paradigm with those currently outside the KolDor network.
Web platform – Increase collaborative content generation and dissemination on and across network. Take use of web platform to next level in terms of its draw and usefulness of users.
