In this episode of the ECI Podcast, hosts Byron Belitsos and Dr. Glen Martin are joined by special guests Dr. Richard Sharp and Patricia Murphy for an insightful discussion. This episode, part of the 2024 series, focuses on a gathering of prominent ECI members, all of whom are recognized academics and considered elders within the organization. The conversation kicks off with an introduction to the newly launched World Democracy Campaign. Byron and Glen explain that this campaign aims to gather coalition partners who align with ECI's mission. There are two main types of coalitions: the Convener Coalition, consisting of serious organizations endorsing ECI's work, and the Supporter Coalition, which includes organizations that agree with ECI's principles but may not endorse every detail of the Earth Constitution. The episode delves into the experiences and lessons learned by ECI members, highlighting the challenges the organization faces in gaining worldwide recognition. A significant part of the discussion revolves around strategies to engage the youth, emphasizing the importance of their involvement in shaping global governance. Patricia Murphy shares her concerns about the current global crisis and its effect on young people's hope and actions. The conversation touches on the interconnectedness of environmental issues, education, and governance, questioning whether humanity will recognize the need for a new governance model amidst escalating crises such as the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza. The hosts and guests also explore the idea of incorporating arts and poetry into legislative processes, inspired by historical figures like Percy Shelley. They discuss the provisional world parliament's legislative acts aimed at various global issues, including nuclear disarmament and economic equity.
