WAO – a Global Movement

Strategic Roadmap: Turning “We Are One” (WAO) Into a Global Movement

🌍 From Philosophy to Action: A Step-by-Step Plan

The “We Are One” (WAO) philosophy is more than an idea—it’s a call to reshape how humanity connects, collaborates, and creates change. Below is a strategic roadmap to transform WAO from a concept into a global movement for unity, sustainability, and collective action.

📌 Phase 1: Building the Core (0–500 Members)

Goal: Create a committed community that embodies WAO values.

Key Actions:

✅ Local WAO Hubs – Physical and digital spaces for connection (e.g., WAO Cafés, co-working spaces).
✅ Digital Home Base – A platform (WeAreOne.fun) that lives WAO values (transparent, EE-powered, community-driven).
✅ Inspiring Content – Documentaries, interviews, and “WAO Stories” showing real people living the philosophy.
✅ First Projects – Small-scale initiatives (e.g., urban gardens, repair cafés) to prove the concept.

Success Metrics:

  • 500 active members in the first year.
  • 10 local WAO groups in different cities.
  • First WAO project (e.g., EE-powered community space) up and running.

🌱 Phase 2: Creating the Wave (500–10,000 Members)

Goal: Turn WAO into a visible, growing movement.

Key Actions:

✅ Partnerships with Existing Movements – Collaborate with:

  • Climate groups (Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion).
  • Peace campaigns (e.g., Attac, Democracy Now!).
  • Tech communities (open-source projects like Mastodon, Signal).

✅ High-Impact WAO Actions – Symbolic campaigns that spread the message:

  • “We Are One” flashmobs (people forming the WAO symbol in public spaces).
  • WAO murals in cities worldwide.
  • #WAOChallenge (social media campaign: “Show how you live WAO today!”).

✅ WAO Festivals – Combine music, workshops, and activism to celebrate unity.
✅ Educational Offensives – WAO curricula for schools and universities (e.g., “How to Live Together”).

Success Metrics:

  • 10,000+ members across 50+ countries.
  • 100 local WAO projects (gardens, repair cafés, energy co-ops).
  • Media coverage in major outlets (e.g., Arte, The Guardian).

🌎 Phase 3: Becoming a Global Force (10,000+ Members)

Goal: Make WAO a cultural, economic, and political influence.

Key Actions:

✅ Political Advocacy – WAO demands for:

  • Global climate justice (e.g., fair distribution of resources).
  • Disarmament and peacebuilding (e.g., reducing military budgets).
  • Cooperative economic models (e.g., supporting worker-owned businesses).

✅ WAO Economy – Alternative economic models:

  • WAO Co-ops – Businesses run on WAO principles (e.g., sustainable tech, food co-ops).
  • WAO Certification – A label for fair, ecological, and transparent companies.
  • Local currencies – To strengthen community resilience.

✅ Cultural Shift – WAO as a new normal:

  • WAO Festivals in major cities (music, art, activism).
  • WAO Education – Courses in schools/universities on unity and collaboration.
  • WAO Media – Documentaries, podcasts, and books spreading the message.

Success Metrics:

  • 100,000+ members worldwide.
  • WAO policies adopted by local governments.
  • WAO economy generating €10M+ in ethical revenue.

⚠️ Challenges & Solutions

ChallengeWAO Solution

🤔 “This is too idealistic!”

Pragmatic projects prove it works: The EE Campus shows WAO is feasible.

Small steps: Anyone can start in their own community (e.g., WAO neighborhood help).


🤔 “How do you fund this?”

Crowdfunding + Cooperative Model: Members become co-owners.

Ethical Sponsors: Companies like Ecosia or Patagonia.

🤔 “How does WAO stay independent?”

Decentralized Structure: No central leadership, only local WAO hubs.

Transparency: All finances and decisions are public.

🤔 “How do you avoid division?”

Focus on Commonalities: WAO emphasizes what unites us.

Conflict Resolution: Mediation based on WAO principles.

🌟 The Big Dream: WAO as a Global Force

Long-Term Vision: WAO becomes a movement that:

  • Changes politics (e.g., WAO parties or citizen councils).
  • Reshapes the economy (e.g., WAO co-ops making up 10% of the global economy).
  • Influences culture (e.g., WAO festivals inspiring millions).

How We Get There:

  1. From local to global: Every WAO group becomes a seed for larger change.
  2. From digital to real: Online community translates into real-world projects.
  3. From theory to practice: Every WAO project proves the philosophy works.

The First Step: “Start where you are. Do what you can. And never forget: You are not alone.”
