Dissemination of the Joe Berg Seminars Beyond the Local Area
We believe our Jacksonville Joe Berg Seminars program is an important and unique program, providing great value to our Scholars and to our community, and we think programs like it would contribute to a better future for all. We would like to see them established in other communities throughout our local area, our nation, and the world. Our plan is to create a how-to brochure and make it available to any communities that are interested. Those communities could follow the model of the current Jacksonville Joe Berg Seminars by just holding seminars. They could add in a mentorship program like our Phase 2. They could even go back to the original idea still followed by the program at Wachusett Regional High School with individualized assistance on research projects and occasional seminars. It would be up to each community. But if a community implements any of these designs it would benefit its students, the community itself, and beyond.
This is of course a big task and a bit of pie in the sky. Many things need to be done before it can commence. But Jacob W. Shapiro and the Joe Berg Foundation did it more than 60 years ago on the North American scale. With funding and the right personnel, we could do it again on a much larger scale. And we believe the world would be a better place if we succeed.
