Sustainocracy, the new democracy

Global networks claim their space to address the issues we face as humankind. So does Earth Odyssey, an initiative of Mahendra Shah, Indian entrepreneur resident on Bali (Indonesia) and Yuri Sanada, filmmaker in Brazil. This network of networks is partner in Sustainocracy and activist on planetary issues such as Climate Change and the Rights of Nature. Their list of colaborators contains some of the most active and influential personalities in the world today. They have been presenting their views in a recent series of online seminars and podcasts.

Together with Stiching BDT of Eindhoven we developed Erasmus+ programs for Turkish students. We did not only give them an intercultural tour, we invited them also to develop their expertise in the open environment of participatory learning of our School of Talents & Wellness. The context of core human values was explained and the students challenged to use their educational choice to become (co)-creative. The STIR learning matrix below shows the relationship between our human evolution, the core human values, the Sustainoable Development Goals and the study choices of the students.

Many Turkish schools joined our programs. We keep grateful memories of these wonderful youngsters and their teachers. Their commitment, creativity and personalities were heartwarming.

In the cocreation process for a “better” world we imagine humanity as a bird of happiness. It is still to hatch from its egg and gain the colors of cocreation, but its full potential is already visible. Together we make it hatch, we give it color through our expressions of art, through our behavioral adjustments and new way of relating among each other and our beautiful planet.

The image was designed by Aima Martin in Santander, Spain. It is full of symbols that give direction to a new and emerging human reality. A reality that we try to develop through our global happiness challenge .
