As Founder of Eriuvation in 2010, Eriuvation’s Village Vista 2020 is a collaborative vision for a New Ireland, called EriuVox. It sees Global Irish Communities rising in tandem, like the phoenix from the ashes of our illustrious Past as their Global Irish Diasporas reconnect and are nourished by their cultural roots once again. It sees how to achieve that by the building borderless social and trading bridges across the rivers of time that has separated them for many centuries. It sees how that pervading sense of longing and belonging, search for identity, roots and replicas which sustained the aspirations of the Global Irish Diaspora of 70 million throughout that time can be understood, crystalised and finally satisfied. That is a time when their untold Stories can emerge from the shroud of silence that has existed ever since that Great Irish Exodus that followed the horrors of the Great Irish Famine (Gorta Mor) in 1845-50.

Specifically, it sees how an emergent Community Cooperative Chaord can foster a borderless collaboration between the Global Irish and their Roots, how it can spearhead the co-creation of an Ethical Retailing Movement. And how it can informally reach-out to embrace those who became disconnected, just lost touch, became socially excluded or were among those left behind. That is when they become free to bridge that yawning gap, find their voice, discover their truth, unleash their story to collectively emerge as one Global Community Voice as protected by the Ethical Brand they helped co-create. Equally, it presents a viable, alternative way for Global Communities to find the answers to the destabilisation by the Corporate World and the Inequality Divide it continues to generate – surrounded and protected by silence, secrets, lies, misinformation, media spin budgets, and willing fellow travellers. It is a vision of a time when the Global Irish can come together to build one Global Irish Community through such an Ethical Retail Campaign & Movement. It is when Global Communities can merge and collaborate online to become a Force for Change on a scale which they have never dreamed before Covid-19 of ever seeing reflected in their lives, their families and that of their Communities.
