Overview and objectives of unaVision

Balancing the world by activating and working with rural, peripheral, precarious regions can be a very rewarding experience. Our goal is to really, really make a difference in our own lives, to carefully select the people we choose to work with, live with, learn with and celebrate with and to choose the locations where we are doing that. For this, we are seeking to create at least a dozen prototypes of “Being Space Communities” around the globe, which are interconnected by an intensive learning exchange, co-design and implementation processes of examples of our future society in which we like to live. 

UnaVision is a growing knowledge and collaborative network driven by like minded people and their rural and urban communities, neighborhoods, organizations and initiatives. UnaVision is aiming for a "world in balance". UnaVision offers a unique learning environment and learning activities. The involved people cherish an intense and ongoing contact with each other, and are actively involved in co-developing and implementing prototypes and innovative approaches for a systemic change in our social, ecological, cultural and economic sectors. We foster project based learning, eco-social entrepreneurship, common goods economy and sociocratic governance.  Specifically implement during the next years:

• the unaVision network, a lively global co-creating community of likeminded people
• BeingSpace Communities, a network of living laboratories spread over all continents
• EcoVersities, alternative Universities as a unique, global learning environment
• Collaborative Eco-Social Economies, millions of meaningful, green jobs

UnaVision Learning Journeys

The UnaVision Learning Journey is a multi-dimensional process. People and teams co-develop events, forums, projects, programs and eco-social entrepreneurships on the way to reach the objectives. Personal, virtual and physical learning journeys within and between Being Space communities and regions bring people together, connect them and offer a unique learning environment. UnaVision journeys offer participants to explore initiatives around the globe in order to give impulses for their own projects. The inter-generational, inter-cultural and inter-sectoral approach widens the perspective for everybody. 

The 4 M approach for learning journeys 

• Move physically and mentally, change your perspectives and behavior, experience new things, open up!
• Meet people from different sectors, cultures and generations, learn from their knowledge, experience, wisdom and personal mastery, enter deep dialogs to really, really understand
• Make and co-develop products, services and systems, get new skills, become creative, implement concepts, be a social entrepreneur and create new ventures who serve the people and society and which gives yourself a livelihood. 
• Multiply and share your experiences and knowledge, tell your story, write articles, poetries, books, make drawings and films
