The STIR foundation was born as a critical alternative to the mainstream reality that was showing so many inhumane, destructive situations around the world. Contact with people in Italy brought the insight that “this is not a revolution, it is evolution!”. Such change in position of what was being referred to as the City of Tomorrow brought a totally new approach to engaging with our surroundings. Now, 15 years later, we see the effects as the town Eindhoven in the Netherlands, its participating leadership and citizenship, gradually develops signs of phase 4 decision making and behavioral change. It is still at a level of certain tension with phase 3 but evolving. This short video tries to provide some understanding of this intense and inspiring 800 years of evolution. We are curious if you see similar development in your own environment. If so, please elaborate in the comments.
