Is there really any necessity of fractioning

Is there really any necessity of fractioning the effort with keywords like "national" , "regional" etc? If we are focusing to do something for humanity, why do we breakup with the said keywords? Isn't our action a world wide action? And since this action doesn't necessarily depend on geographical location, why worry about "REGIONS".

Well I understand, that to continue "outreach" or to "educate" people,we need to spread the effort. But won't that be far more nice, if we divide the globe using sailors method, (Longitude a to Longitude b, bound by latitude x and latitude y) rather than doing that country wise or region wise? I understand that there will be lots of different people who are in different stages of "awareness" , "education" etc, but there are equal chances of that heterogeneity if we do the work country wise. Will anybody kindly tell your own idea?

Hi madman,
the point of National PoC is to have a way to spread the word about local activities world-wide and to raise awareness about global activities in your local country. The first usually asked is "how can I get active". It is much easier to find activities by country than by longitude!! Also, Space Generation joins local grassroot initiatives and other youth organisation in promoting space awareness!

This topic is very interesting in itself.

Just wanted to share some experience we had concerning a similar issue. At SGAC, during one of Graz Space youth symposias, groups were divided according to interest in different areas related to space which could benefit humanity : space commercialization, space philosophy & ethics, environment, Mars/moon habitation e.t.c.

The following year at the next Graz symposium, groups were divided according to country, region e.t.c. This resulted in peolpe from different regions prefering different fields of interest.

It therefore was difficult to compare acheivements as well as come to a common agreed framework during the second Graz session as compared to the first session !

Going further, I think this can be regarded as one of the applications of 'space as a tool' as defined in the UNESCO Ethics of Space Policy. Defining the best motivation for acheiving common goals. Is the basic division into groups, cultures, tribes, countries, regions advisable (which is very common) or should an intercultural interdisciplinary approach be applied in implementation of space projects which benefit humanity at large?
Or probably, can we retain the cultural diversity while working across fields, age or geographical boundaries ?

In my college I joined SIFE is not space related, but I learned important things.
For example the best way to approach a project is to work with groups. Then follow up with their progress informing them about next events.
When you combine all this small steps you will see that you reached more people and the project becomes bigger.

This is an interesting topic!

The main aim here is to spread the knowledge and education of space travel and science as widely as possible, but this doesn't mean absolving the different educational systems and institutes in different countries. Instead, we should praise the variety and range of work accomplished by such a wide variety of institutions, which each contribute to the global good.

The trouble is that it is very difficult to form any kind of international 'base', when different countries and sectors will have completely different space programmes, budgets and priorities in terms of research and development.

I do believe that there should be much international colaboration (highlighted by this very organisation) to ensure healthy discussion, debate and the sharing of accomplishments. As space exploration evolves, countries will have to unite to set out legislation to ensure the best collaborations and to prevent hostilities.

But I believe the variation of institutes across the globe is a positive thing, allowing a wider persuit of knowledge, and making it easier for students in each country to access and education in the field!
