Vision
According to Frank Koellges, the Planet Voyagers want to protect people from the consequences of a forced farewell to traditional ways of living and working. The Planet Voyagers’ tool is a "food machine", i. e. the good match between people’s personalities and talents and the successful use of both.
The Planet Voyagers promote the development of individual talents as well as mobility and the willingness to travel. By developing personal skills at an early age every human being is able to create their own "food machine", which enables them to use their own talents efficiently in various cultures in order to escape structural unemployment.
The University
The Planet Voyagers will travel on a modified container ship, which will serve as a university. The masters will be recruited from the technical (20 per cent), scientific (30 per cent) and artistic area (50 per cent) and are going to transform the university into an information pool, which can later be used to provide teaching material for schools, for example. There will be a cultural exchange on the ship favoured by the different workshops where the masters teach and, in turn, can learn from other masters. The masters will leave the ship together with their groups to go on trips in the various countries by trucks and rickshas that are equipped with high-tech installations. By doing so, the Planet Voyagers will be able to demonstrate their food machines.
Planet Voyager Casting
The Planet Voyagers will be recruited at international level. The preparation course for the crew will take six months in order to ensure the best possible preparation for the trip. The training should, above all, help the planet voyagers to develop their own "food machine" and artistic skills, train body and mind, learn how to react in cases of emergency and develop specific behaviour patterns in different cultures.
Financing
For the 10-year trip (which will start in 2002) 100 Mio Euro are needed, which will be held in a foundation.
Patronage
We would like to find patrons for the project. The realisation of the Planet Voyagers’ vision will attract widespread media attention and could be achieved more efficiently with a patronage.
Communication and Marketing
Co-operation with the local press (newspapers, television, radio) and the national news services and TV stations as well as live documentation via Internet
Communications should be adapted to the aims of the patrons
Organisation of press events
Commercialisation of merchant articles
