The Concept of collaboration
#StopAndTalk
No matter when, where, who, or what, we can always stop and talk.
the problems of the migration of humans to Mars
Imagine a time when technology will allow humans to live and work on Mars as they do on Earth. If humans do not develop new ways of living, interacting, and resolving problems, they would risk repeating the errors they have made on Earth on Mars.
The Concerns of metaverse community
“Imagine a time when technology allows humans to have an immersive digital experience in the metaverse that is as real as the physical world. If humans do not create new ways of living, interacting, and solving problems in the metaverse, they run the risk of bringing their real-world mistakes into the metaverse. However, the metaverse could be utilized as a great opportunity for humanity to rethink community-building, create new possibilities and responsibilities, and contribute solutions to the problems in the real world.” #StopAndTalk director Yili Fan said.
Let's work together as a collective intelligence performance to solve the problems!

B . Record a 3-min Presentation
Record a 3-minute presentation
You can submit a pre-recorded 3-minute video on the topic of the civilization of the metaverse community from the perspective of your profession. Your presentation clip may be edited into the pre-recorded theater work, #StopAndTalk, which will be broadcast in the Sphinx Meta Theater Festival. It will also be released on this #StopAndTalk website. Find out more here.
C . Join the Video Challenge
Video Challenge: #STOPANDTALK
Similar to the ice bucket challenge, you can join the #StopAndTalk video challenge. For instance, you and someone are doing something very ordinary. Suddenly, both of you freeze your movements and begin to whisper to each other while slowly "melting" down to the ground as if you were snowmen in summer.
Upload the video to all your social media accounts with the tag #StopAndTalk and @ your friend to join!
Submit the link to your #StopAndTalk video to join the collaboration. Your video clip may be edited into the pre-recorded theater work, #StopAndTalk, which will be broadcast in the Sphinx Meta Theater Festival. It will also be released on this #StopAndTalk website. Find out more here.

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts
