“Think to understand, understand to change, and change to live.”
(Jorge Wagensberg’s motto of life)
Whenever you read this article it is still possible to sign up for this MOOC (Massive Online Open Course), even if it has already started. In this course, participants from more than 50 countries share ideas and practices to move towards a more ecological and social paradigm.
If you have 2 hours a week and want to understand and connect the dots of this poly-crisis (meta-crisis), this is an opportunity to venture out with more explorers to find answers, purpose, and pathways.
You can pay what you like, including $0. https://synergiainstitute.org/
Cooperative economic democracy is a central theme throughout this course — a framework of concepts, values, and practices that give priority to:
-Resilience over economic growth.
-Co-operation over competition.
-Sufficiency over efficiency.
-Well-being over the right to possess.
-Fairness and equity over the primacy of markets, trade, and capital
-Decentralized and democratic ownership over centralized power and private ownership
-Climate justice and just transition
-The commons over the rights of private property, and
-Our dependence upon nature over our right to dominate it.
These are not merely theoretical propositions. They are choices about what is paramount for transition in a perilous century. They are the basis for a comprehensive alternative to the status quo — a compendium of ideas, models, and movements that are essential to our collective capacity for transition and survival. These alternatives, and the means to apply them, are the focus of the course.
