1 Dear listeners, my name is Franz Nahrada from Austria and I welcome you to the first edition of a new series of programmes entitled "Welcome to the Global Village" - and today's programme is mainly dedicated to explaining this enigmatic title! [0.21] ˧ ˧

2 So in regulat intervals, I want to engage here - and hope you engage with me - with a visionary theme, with a vision for our future living space and with people, communities, municipalities and regions who are already beginning to realise that vision today. [0:21] [0:42] ˧ ˧

3 Is it really possible that in all the complex developments of our time, in all the social, technical, political and cultural turbulence and change, in the increasing tensions between states and interest groups, that there is still a concrete and consistent vision of a positive future? [0:21] [1:03] ˧ ˧

4 This is exactly what I aim to show and prove with this series: to present a collection of recipes, cooking instructions and ingredients for a conscious and planned working towards an achievable and desirable goal. A goal that is already being pursued by many people around the world who, with each passing day, find more tools to bring about change both here and now in the everyday lives of our communities and neighbourhoods, but which is also bound to evolve and coalesce into a global project that follows a very simple logic. [0:37][1:40] ˧ ˧

5 We are dealing with a development that has only just begun and that has the potential to massively change the face of our world once again, and to reverse much of what seems threatening and destructive to us today. But to do so, we must first of all understand this development, because it needs our conscious cooperation. This social change will not happen without us. ˧

With this in mind, I welcome you to the first episode, in which I give an overview of the issue by answering the question, "what actually is a Global Village?" [0:44] [2:24] ˧ ˧
