I recommend watching this video. Imo, it's a good example of the spirit and vision shared by many Aurovilians. ~ ronjon
A 6.37 minute video pointing out the potentiality of Auroville Universal Township, especially of the International Zone as a new kind of United Nations, has been posted by way of answer to Davos Question on the You Tube, thanks to timely intimation from Jack Alexander, a former Aurovilian and a close friend of Auroville from USA.

The highest videos will be shown and discussed at the World Economic Forum starting from 23rd January.
Anyone can see the video by
following the link provided here.
However, if you wish to rate or offer a comment, you need to open an account with You Tube which is very simple and takes only a minute or two.

Background: On 21st December 07, Jack posted on Auroville Intranet and on AVI Compact Forum following information from the Davos Question text on You Tube.
“Every year many of the world's
top leaders attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss how to make
the world a better place.
This year, you get to join them.
First,
submit a video answering The Davos Question:
"What one thing do you think
that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better
place in 2008?"
Then, starting January 1st, watch and rank others' ideas.
The highest-rated videos will be screened in Davos (January 23-27), where world
leaders will watch your videos and make responses of their own. Your idea could
be the start of something big.

Forum, go here:

Though hesitant initially, I finally decided to submit a video as the total duration proposed was just 3 minutes. The video was made in matters of just two days and in a sense of urgency.
Wishing you all not so boring viewing
and Happy 2008!
