Project Idea: Giving Sustainability a Face
How to connect members of the Sustainability Movement in a medium-sized (for Sweden) city and its surroundings.
How to leverage the capabilities of the Sustainability Movement through raising networking and connectivity.
Which tool would be the most useful to get people connected. Shall it be all-encompassing or rather narrow for a specific purpose.
The idea is to give people in the Sustainability Movement in and around Uppsala the ability to connect. Currently many efforts are being undertaken in and around Uppsala, but they appear scattered and no one has an oversight. As a result the Sustainability Movement does not reach the effectiveness it possibly could. "Giving Sustainability a Face" tries to do so by uniting these scattered projects to one unified movement. People that are new to it or want to engage themselves have trouble finding the right place where to go to.
The problem is just finding the right tool to do so and ensure that it is accepted as a useful tool by the movement. The tool shall not be anything hierarchiral nor require much maintanence.
My vision is to have a unified sustainability movement in Uppsala that is a lot more forceful, because it acts {at lest tries to) under one umbrella.
It impacts humans on an interpersonal level. People communicate more and better. Participants will understand the benefits of networking once it is being applied.
Do you want to unify the sustainability movement under one organisation or is it just to bring them together and share information and experiences?
It is just that I think scattered groups are not bad at all as they act freely and organise easily. An organisation might put too much beaurocracy on them and make immediate action difficult to coordinate.
no, we don't want to unify. sharing information and experiences and having the ability to speak with one voice when needed is the idea.
i imagine that it is a lot better for the movement, if it wants to scale up its effort to be able to speak with one voice. especially when they face politicians.
