Description

Vision

For 2030 we envision neighbourhoods worldwide as predominantly circular and regenerative ecosystems, creating social capital and innovative infrastructure, promoting inclusion and live long learning. We trust in social and technological innovation powers. We address SDG 4,11,12,16,17.

Mission

We build community based digital incubation systems that promote prosocial behaviour with a rewarding complementary crypto currency that can unlock the wealth of social capital and become an indicator for the maturity of meaningful transformation of communities. The process was inspired by our presentation at the SDG Action Summit, Bonn Mai 2019: http://webtv.un.org/watch/fridays-for-future-sdg-studio-global-festival-of-action-for-sustainable-development-2019-/6032605200001/#t=8m46s

Business Process Innovation

Bootstrapping Social and Environmental Impact = Local Communities + Facilitation + complementary crypto currency

We continue to prototype with and for people of all ages, colour, gender and backgrounds in our local community Berlin to build a facilitation and incubation process around the FOOD and WASTE topic (including migrants and refugees that allow various connections, e.g. to Tunisia, Syria, India and Brazil, to set up multi-local satellites of this idea).

We create space for creativity and facilitate the development of youth entrepreneurship based on student companies and train participants in exploring basic human values. The learning happens mainly in informal and non-formal settings as 'street education' so that participants get encouraged to become multipliers and change agents of an altruistic mindset. We cooperate with schools, businesses and authorities to establish an educational landscape and map out processes for circular and regenerative economy with a complementary crypto currency as a viable funding model.

The ICT Tool

We have developed a Value Instrument, a complementary crypto currency plus UI to enable scalable, efficient and high-impact decentralised solutions for social innovation by leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology (DLTs).

Our main goal is to build the product in cooperation with the user, thus empowering communities to allow for financial inclusion and economic opportunities increasing the social capital. We show what new regenerative business models can look like in a real environment, and how privacy and security can new created in a meaningful way for a community. As a free simulation tool it can be used to allow anyone to simulate an economy.

Community Economics: transforming the mindset

Supported by neuroscientific findings, we are on the way towards a dialogue based civilisation with a spirit of exchange and respect for diversity, freedom and tolerance.  We facilitate the transformation to an altruistic mindset in order to build regenerative communities by applying a tried-and-tested approach that integrates training in mindfulness, compassion and perception (WOOP!E - value-orientated organisational und personal empowerment) that was presented at the SDG Action Summit session with Youth4Planet, Bonn, May 2nd, 2019:
Harnessing Artistic Expression to Spur SDG Action and Awareness Through Creativity: https://generation-itrust.org/sdg-festival-of-action-woope-ist-eingebunden/

We strengthen basic human values that transcend religion and cultural differences. We use the complementary currency to support and host positive group dynamics.

A general explanation of economies of scope and the regenerative business models are a result of Blue Economy thinking.
