Call for Action!

Get involved with your skills, time and resources for global actions to prototype examples of "balance the world". We are looking for active network partners and trainees who like to be part of the initiative. Please write to Johannes at info@thinkcamp.eu 

 

unaVision - living global laboratory for a world in balance

unaVision is a growing knowledge and collaborative network driven by like-minded people and their rural and urban communities, neighborhoods, organizations and initiatives. It 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.

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 and the ways we work, live, learn and celebrate together in an inclusive way. For this, we interconnect people, places and organisations around the globe in Being Spaces by an intensive learning exchange, co-design and implementation processes of lively examples today for the future society we dream of.

Specifically we are planning to implement during the next years:

  • The unaVision network: a lively global co-creating community of likeminded people actively supporting each other
  • BeingSpace Communities and Collaborative Economies: a network of living laboratories spread over all continents where people learn, work and live 
  • EcoVersities: alternative Universities located in Being Space Regions as a unique, global learning environment
  • Learning Journeys: connecting the unaVision network with intensive learning exchanges and research journeys

We take responsibility for the dignity of people of different genders, ages, educational backgrounds, races and beliefs, responsibility for the environment and nature, support the establishment of a viable international order and a transparency of all activities and results.

 

 

 

 

Being Spaces

Being Space communities are people and organizations within a neighborhood, village or region, where like-minded people actively collaborate to implement an environment for better living. The community collaborates to prototype a systemic change towards a more resilient world in balance. It forms a unique location for learning, working and living together. The people are acting in a living laboratory and are creating prototypes in many sectors like eco-building, permaculture, sharing economy which are sustainable for our grandchildren. Being Spaces concentrate on important, basic needs of people such as having meaningful work, food, accommodation, preventive health and a suitable social and cultural living environment.

 

 

 

 

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

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.

SenTour - EU Senior Travel Experience

With the SENTour Connect project ThinkCamp is co-developing with partners from Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, Austria, Italy and Portugal innovative learning journey packages for seniors.

Learning Journeys offer the opportunity to dive into the spirit of regions and to learn about special skills and traditions. You meet locals, learn from them, but may also share their expertise with people from the regions. Long-term off season tourism of several weeks to several months may intensify the insights into the local culture. This is a win-win situation for the regions and the visiting guests. This is a prototype Learning Journey packages co-developed within the SENTour Connect project.

The SENTour Connect project started from the idea that the senior market is an area for tourism expansion in low season within the European Union. Travel is a means to prolong a quality of life and Europe has a growing senior population for whom this is an important issue.The main objective of the project is to facilitate transnational tourism exchanges for seniors in the low season within the European domestic market.To do this, the project aims at creating innovative and sustainable transnational tourism packages for seniors, and improving the tourism seasonality patterns across Europe.
