+ | ==== The purpose of Resilients ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why is the project " | ||
+ | If we are the Resilients, what will we do, how will we look, where will we be...? | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Resilients will help us prepare for unspeakable futures | ||
+ | * Resilients speak to novices and supports isolated change makers - cultural, scientific | ||
+ | * Resilients provide sparks for people in the everyday. | ||
+ | * With Resilients we diversify, strengthen and extend existing networks that are fragile, in order to enhance cultural resilience (across scales - individuals, | ||
+ | * Resilients foster life-enhancing and rebalancing of humans and the rest of the planet (resilience is invisible, and tested by time). | ||
+ | * Resilients use [intentional] story-telling to explore, communicate and develop presences/ | ||
+ | |||

+ | ==== Resilients - Why & how ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We first had a conversation about why Resilients is relevant, then split up in Open Space sessions to discuss possible tactics & strategies... | ||
