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.
Part I. 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 priority areas in 2009 are Latin American and Eastern Europe/Former Soviet Union and native born Israelis.
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 and regional) and virtual global interactions (“Beyond a Global Conference”) to strengthen network.
o Working with organizational partners to develop, through practice, the conceptualization of being a neutral convener of institutions in the Jewish World, for the sake of Jewish Peoplehood.
• Sharing Ideas
o Generate new content beyond articulation of Peoplehood into articulation of paths of individual/local connectedness to 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 connectivity.
o Regional expansion – focus on Latin America and Eastern Europe.
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. (Expectation is that such measurement would be largely anecdotal)
o Increase web platform as a useful tool for sharing actions and promoting collaboration.
o Create 1-2 new steering committees for “KolDorianizing/Globalizing” select projects (possibly as an avenue for engagement of institutions and organizations).
o Explore opportunities for financial restructuring, understanding of affinity relationships to KD network.
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 1 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 KolDorian paradigm with those currently outside the KolDor network.
• Web platform – Networking and sharing ideas. 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.
