The Values Manifesto
We invite you to explore the lives and work of Doug Breitbart and Fabian Szulanski. Please do check out their manifesto. I’ve invited them to share their work and explore how we can meet our global challenges as peers.
Doug and I had a follow on session, where we got to do a deeper dive into where our work intersects:
We believe that if we share and think together, we can do good work in understanding where we are at and what we can do as a response to all the crazy challenges we face. We want to know each other, the work we are championing, and what we are doing to make sense of our world and meet challenges with our humanity.
We see the need for effective advocacy, to and the need for ways to bring people together to explore the amazing work that is being done all over the planet, as well as talk about the very important things we need to talk about in terms of the multiple overlapping crises we face.
We are modelling a practice we think that anyone could use to advocate for the change we know we need to be in the world. Our voices do matter, and are powerful.
We can use this process to listen to each other, look around, see what needs doing and make it happen. It serves to build relationships, raise awareness, and creates a living context for collective action.
If you want to take up the practice yourself and pick some people who inspire you to explore their work, awesome! The more of us that are out there, bringing people together and shedding light on the good things that are happening, the more we build the realities that can help transition us. We need ourselves, and each other. We need to cooperate.
The style of this article is open source: if stolen, built upon, and further developed, awesome. Let your creativity run wild, and have fun with it!
