Proposal Overview
The Blockchain world is rapidly evolving. Not only must we adapt to the exponential technological developments and breakthroughs, but we are now also required to establish and implement new methods to master the fast-growing demands of knowledge.
We also have to ensure that the knowledge provided is applicable in a hyper-dynamic, decentralised environment—an environment with an extraordinarily diverse but interoperable approach. Without an element of out-of-the-box thinking and novel methods for academic inquiries, the facet of education, research, and training will fail to counter the newly discovered challenges. In our opinion, Education DAO is the ultimate solution for the factors above.
We strongly believe that the availability of quality developers is straggling behind the exponential demands of the Blockchain industry. Rolling out an Educational DAO will demand instituting a bootstrapped approach to enacting change in education.
In addition to this, it is essential to consider that South Asia and the Middle East region are estimated to have around 8 million computer science graduates and developers. This is a major motivating factor behind launching a call to create an EDU DAO.
This will cultivate, nurture and boost the promising talent of young, competent,
and skilful computer science programmers. Furthermore, we aim to also develop partnerships with conventional educational institutions to increase Blockchain awareness around South Asian markets. We firmly believe in creating a dynamic community that leverages all the knowledge and insights of “how & what to learn in the Blockchain field” - benefitting every member of the Blockchain world. It consists of the education arena, industry, and society. Our proposal ethos is fundamentally based on the Blockchain spirit and values: transparency, p2p, decentralisation, and open sharing.

To achieve our target,
our objectives and
strategies:
1.- Educational sector:
The Education DAO endorses an understanding of how Blockchain can enhance
the educational sector. This considers every possible aspect - from establishing developer communities, safeguarding their identities, protecting their privacy, financing their coursework, measuring their progress, and recording their
credentials of achievement through open-data exchange protocols.
The Education DAO supports the education of the ecosystem on several bases,
such as; the development of micro-credentialing capabilities, models of
pay-as-you-learn funding, numerous open-online courses, and the co-creation
of open educational resources. These make meta-university and lifelong
learning affordable and accessible to countless students globally.

Phase 1: Year 1 - 2
A 2020 LinkedIn survey found the following:
Blockchain skills are no.1 in the future
economy and business world.
At the moment, we have a significant challenge to resolve: exploring how Blockchain transforms education. This is especially challenging for higher education, vocational schools, community colleges, universities, and corporate training and development. It is nearly humanly impossible for an individual to follow the dynamic and vast technological changes, shifts, and daily trends.
Our initial and preliminary goal is to target Pakistan in the South Asia region and then expand into the Middle East. It is interlinking the tech and education community with other Harmony DAO organisations to promote a promising future in Blockchain by strengthening and connecting globally. Creating a Harmony Network. Creating a consultation platform to support developers with startups and to help advance the South Asian ecosystem. Knowledge is fundamental when it comes to creating and innovating.

We are incredibly thrilled and motivated by the vision and initiatives taken by the Harmony core team to make a profound difference in the real world and develop a genuinely decentralised global team with an equal opportunity slogan. Given the above, we propose South Asia DAO with the associated yearly budget of $928,000. We want to ask for $232,000 funding for the first quarter to kick-start the project. We want to start the project in Pakistan as a local DAO and the hub to build Global Harmony Academy Education resources. Once established, we will replicate the model in other South Asia and Middle Eastern countries.
