Hello from Polkadotters.
JAM is one of the most important upgrades in Polkadot and it’s a really good idea to document „The JAM World Tour“ made by Gavin. 
We loved the video **Gavin Wood: The Gray Paper Interview - JAM & the Future of Polkadot - Behind the Code: Web3 Thinkers**, it was very professional work and we feel that this piece will be with those high standards. Thus we support this proposal.

Voting AYE on this one! The JAM Spring Time Tour is exactly the initiative that brings real value to Polkadot. 

Having Gavin tour universities and share deep insights from The JAM Paper is a brilliant way to engage new minds and spread the word about what we’re building here. This tour's hitting top spots like Stanford, Zurich, Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore means we’re reaching a global audience. And with The Kus & Key Pictures documenting the whole thing, we’ll have some awesome content to share with the community.

Gavin Wood is touring **The JAM Paper** to 6 universities this May & June!

At each stop, Gav dives deep into one aspect of the JAM paper after an overview for his audience & followed by Q&A.

May 10th, Buenos Aires (recorded)
May 14th, Stanford
May 23rd, Zurich
June 8th, Tokyo
June 12th, Seoul
June 18-20th, Singapore 

This experience is being documented by **The Kus** & **Key Pictures** for the production of short & sharable content highlighting the global impact of The JAM Paper, Gav's unique perspective on the tour, and his interactions with the audience.

The entire tour will be captured in a longer piece of content at its conclusion.

This ref also covers a funding shortfall from [Ref. 668](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/668) - an agreement to cover 69% of 52 Weeks of Kus content.
