New Work In Action

New Work Projects incorporate New Work Technologies in a wide range of applied settings and with a broad variety of scopes.  At one extreme, New Work seeks to build a network of New Work communities, each complete with fully equipped community centers, housing developments, village-wide infrastructures, community, self-providing activities, and decentralized manufacturing centers.
At the other extreme, New Work can organize small groups to band together to employ hightech self-providing techniques while organizing a co-operative business venture to manufacture components for New Work technologies.
New Work provides the conceptual framework needed so that that a comprehensive strategic approach is able to achieve economically independent communities.

Professor Bergmann's worldwide efforts in promoting these ideas have produced the beginnings of a global network of New Work communities as well as the development of various projects which are rooted in New Work.

"I have tried to evolve an organically integrated set of policy proposals that would have the power not only to stop the appalling deterioration of our country – her accelerating descent into a pit of cynicism, passivity, violence and despair – but that, instead, would define a step by step process leading us back to the path of our original mission: to becoming the greatest force on the globe in the struggle for a more humane, a more intelligent and a more life-giving culture."
