How To Launch One Small Town
in Your Town
NOTICE: Keep in mind that we are doing something very unique and very big. This has never been done before. There is no script or guide book to show us the way – we have to figure it out for ourselves and build it together. Our implementation plans have changed over the past 3 years as we learn from our experiences. This is the latest version which has shown to be most effective so far.
Please watch the Two Slide Presentations below to get a full perspective on the OST Implementation plan.
It all starts with a Town Ambassador:
All OST Initiatives require a local or town Ambassador who takes on the responsibility for all the preparations, inspiring the community, assemble the Support Team which will plan the full implementation, and compile the 12-month plan for your town.
A Country Ambassador is required to oversee the funding process through the OST Country office and ensuring that all legal requirements are upheld in the launch process. If there is no country Ambassador in your country, one needs to be appointed first before the initiative can be launched.
What you should know - Pre-launch Plan
