Hello all,

I am Temur Lursmanashvili, from Tbilisi, Georgia, Caucasus.
I am director of nongovernmental organization IBIP. You can see more information on the web-site: www.ibip.land.ru

I do not understand instruments of “Wiser Earth” well and I am afraid I will lose a lot of time.

It is fine, that members of “Wiser Earth” have an opportunity to discuss thoughts. But virtual contacts can never replace real contacts.

I think it will be good if the members of “Wiser Earth” will have an opportunity of direct contacts.
Undoubtedly immediate meetings and seminars are more effective.

It is time to pass to actions together!

I suggest creating “Meetings Base-Centre” for the members of “Wiser Earth” (and researcher-activists) for meetings, seminars, experiments, trainings and active recreation in Georgia.
Here (in Georgia) are excellent conditions to carry out (realize) such project.
-first of all there are 13 climate-geographical zone on the compact territory; there is stable, mild, temperate climate;
-second: enough quantity of isolated, almost wild territories are yet existing, what is supported by relief and rich nature;
-third: there is social and ethno cultural solidarity developed during thousands of years here;
-fourth: in all territory of Georgia the developed settlements, well-developed infrastructure and communications are easily accessible.
-fifth: there are well developed international transport communications entrance and moving of foreigners are unlimited.
-sixth: all means of modern telecommunications network are well developed and accessible (internet, telephone connection, mobile phone).
-seventh: foodstuff is various, accessible and not expensive; life is cheap.

In short, I suggest creating additionally one more WISER platform: “Wiser Earth Meeting” by the base in Georgia.

I offer you collaboration if this idea is interesting for you.

I ask you to help me to develop idea of creating Meetings Base-Centre for the members of “Wiser Earth”. (WISER platform: “Wiser Earth Meeting”).

Hi Temur, thank you for your message and interest in utilizing WiserEarth for in-person meetings.

There is currently a plan to develop Groups on WiserEarth based by regions and countries. The discussion link: http://wiserearth.org/forum/view/753705470e58da4874b91aeeb816c99b/postid/5281

Let's work together to create a group for Georgia. I will assist you in this upcoming week, you can start a group here: http://wiserearth.org/group/action/new

A couple examples of how your group could look like:

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your answer about Topic: Meetings Base-Centre for the members of “Wiser Earth”.

I will be glad if you help me.
How do you consider to call the Group “Direct Meetings” or something else?

Hi Temur

Youre welcome. It sounds like you are suggesting a group for WiserEarth users to visit Georgia, which sounds like a beautiful place to visit. I started a group for Georgia here: http://wiserearth.org/group/georgia/

Right now it is called "Georgia (Caucasus)" but you may re-name it however you like. Perhaps "Meetings in Georgia, Caucasus" would be appropriate. The group is currently blank and doesn't have any information in it other than the title. You may upload a group picture (logo) here: http://wiserearth.org/group/georgia/edit_logo

Let's stay in communication, I'll check to see how you are doing with the group
