About the People's Library:
The People’s Library is a decentralized, community-driven model designed to provide access to essential resources without financial barriers. Our goal is to create local, parallel economies that empower communities through cooperation, shared access, and sustainability. Legal advisors play a crucial role in developing the legal frameworks that protect shared resources and ensure ethical governance.
Role Overview:
The People’s Library is more than a concept—it’s a story waiting to be told. We’re looking for video storytellers who can bring this vision to life through compelling, emotionally resonant content. Whether through short reels, narrative explainers, or mini-documentaries, your storytelling skills can help people imagine a world where access, cooperation, and care form the foundation of how we live. Video storytellers play a crucial role in translating the vision into emotionally resonant stories that inspire people to imagine and build a different future.
