Say you had the opportunity to pitch a liberty specific project idea to an organisation with the possibility of them providing full funding (i.e all expenses paid, travel and costs), with a guideline of 4-6 weeks travel between 1st September 2012 - 31st August 2013. The very brief framework:

Project Title:
Info:
Proposed Itinerary:

• Max. of five countries is suggested, as is not crowding your itinerary.

What new knowledge do you hope to gain from your project?

Why do you need to travel overseas to obtain this knowledge?

How will your project benefit the community?

What would your idea be? [ethics related] What would you do? It would make sense for me to base the trip mostly in the US. Thus I am requesting some help from those with local knowledge to provide some possible events I could visit, individuals I should meet etc.

I haven’t nailed down the ‘liberty project idea’ yet, it’s early days, but I think it will be something along the lines of learning about how to build a movement (as is seen in the States), and translating the principles back to Australia. Whether the committee will go for that, we’ll have to see.
