An invitation
Come and help grow the village.
We are gathering the people who will root Nia Ecoversity: anchor persons, wisdom councillors and key partners — and learners who want to walk the journey with us.
We don't want only people who think the same as we do. A living ecology needs many voices.
The Instigator
the voice of inspiration
Asks "what if?" and "why not?", and gets us to try.
The Cheerleader
the voice of motivation
Believes in people, champions the work and won't let anyone down.
The Doubter
the voice of reason
Asks the hard questions and sees problems before they arise.
The Taskmaster
the voice of progress
Keeps momentum, so deadlines are met and goals are reached.
The Connector
the voice of cooperation and community
Opens new avenues and brings in people and places we can't reach.
The Example
the voice of true authority
Has been there and done that — a mentor and a North Star.
Roles adapted from "The 6 People You Need in Your Corner" by Jessica Hagy (Forbes).
Which voice sounds like you? Learners: think, too, about who you'd invite to walk beside you — friends, family, knowledge-holders — as your own circle of support.
