  • Activation Program

    Activate people in places for a responsible and regenerative culture

    Sessão de lançamento // Launch session

    Purpose

    Activate and train active agents (dynamic people and/or integrated in key entities) to explore the vocation and potential of a place over 3 months with intensive and extensive activities, both face-to-face and online…

    … promoting experiential learning, in teams and in the place, updating individual 'thoughtware' and creating a cultural context of responsibility in a safe space of care and transformation...

    … so that ‘the place’ can see itself and nurture the local guild that designs a strategy for 2050 and supports the implementation of concrete projects that anchor and promote a responsible and regenerative culture.

    Why ?

    • The modern culture is consuming 1,7 planets and destroying places and relations
    • Places have several challenges like lack of water, soil, desertification, depopulation, poverty and aging
    • There are a emergence of projects, all over Portugal, mostly created by a couple, that are aiming a shift in culture
    • These people have a sensation of being alone/ isolation 
    • People and projects aren't collaborating and sharing resources
    • Lack of a systemic perspective and a share view for the place

    What ?

    Program for 12+ local people in 3 months

    • representing the 'whole'
    • free choice
    • 3 days each month and 1 day each week
    • Month 1 - Human Development in 'Possibility Management'
      • Expand the Box*: 3 days (residential and face-to-face)
        • Rage Club*: 4 online sessions of 2 hours (1 per week)
        • Month 2 - Regenerative Development in 'Regenerative Development'
    • Month 2 - Regenerative Development in 'Regenerative Development'
      • Expand the Place: 3 days (residential and face-to-face)
      • Story of Place: 4 2-hour online sessions (1 per week)
    • Month 3 - Viva 2050
      • Expand the Guids: 3 days (residential and face-to-face)
      • Resourcing teams: 4 online sessions of 2 hours (1 per week)
    • Month 4 and beyond
      • To be defined by each local team

    The comercial value for this program is around 5000 Eur / participant. 

    We set a value of 25.000 Eur for 12 participants (less than 2100 / person).

    Our design is to envolve 3 layers in funding the program:

    • Participants: 450 / person for the complete program (5400 Eur)
    • Local community: help finding participants, funding, flexibility for participants and participation
    • Non-local community (e.g. Portugal, Europe): funding 
    • The local and non-local community will contribute with 19.600 Eur

    Results on short-term

    • Human Capital: 36+ people trained in responsible and regenerative cultures
    • Social Capital: Building a local team 2050, activating local guilds, creating knowledge and nurturing the local economy (with events)
    • Ecological capital: Promotion of contact with nature, organization of regenerative events with food and conscious waste management
    • Built capital: activation program, creation of the story of the place for each region, experimentation plan for each person and team; 2050 strategy outline
    • Financial capital: Mixed financing model: participants (20%) and investors (80%); Creation of the future financing plan as part of the 2050 strategy

    Results on long-run

    • Human Capital: Initiated Adults into a regenerative culture, co-creators of their territories and the life that sustains them
    • Social Capital: Circular/regenerative local economy with entrepreneurship and employment in regenerative activities; social ties/strong relationships; individual and collective well-being; inclusion of the youngest and the oldest; reversal of depopulation
    • Ecological capital: Increase in native forest area, good soils, water, air quality, biodiversity (reverse desertification and soil degradation)
    • Built capital: regenerative culture; regenerative activities; systems in harmony with Life and the regeneration of planet Earth; local power supply; resilient local community; production of your energy
    • Financial capital: ability to sustain activity and well-being/well-being locally/bio-regionally

    Where ?

    In each bioregion. “A bioregion is an ecologically and geographically defined area that is smaller than a biogeographical realm, but larger than an ecoregion or an ecosystem, in the World Wide Fund for Nature classification scheme.”, Wikipedia

     

    In Portugal we follow 22 “Grupos de Unidades de Paisagem” from Direcção Geral do Território.



    Note: In Portugal 'bioregion' is also a region that produce organic agriculture. This is a different distinction.

    When ?

    In 2 moments:

    • First we want to experiment in 3 bioregions during 2022 to learn
    • After we want to go to all country from 2023
    The calendar is choose by the teams in each bioregion.

    Who?

    We have the national team and the locals teams (one for each bioregion).
     

    National team

    Local Teams (for each bioregion)
    • First person say YES and invite the second person
    • The 2 invite the third person 
    • The 3 invite the fourth person
    • ... 
    • Until we have ate least 12
