Curious About… Taking back society How to create lasting change (together)
Power to the people? Absolutely! Active citizenship, community spirit – it’s all the rage.
People are ready for change and want to have a say in the things that matter to them. The great challenges of our time require big solutions and we want to be part of that.
We are increasingly achieving this together, off the beaten track, in innovative organizational forms, or on our own initiative – no longer on the sidelines, but right in the middle of the playing field. From creating your own dream home together to testing our collective ability to share – meet the doers and makers who are taking back society to help the world move forward.

What can you expect?
We dive into new organizational forms, new forms of housing, new forms of care and new nature. There are success stories and bumps in the road. We unravel how money influences our society, gain insight and tools to realize our ideals, we learn how an initiative is not taken over by capital… And much more. This is what you can do and discover:

Deep underneath all efforts to transform from a War-like culture to a more peaceful one, is a deeply flawed economic systems that promotes scarcity in an abundant world, extraction, exploitation and the colonization of lands the people that inhabit the lands.
When we transform our fundamental systems that manage our lives away from the existing ones towards decentralized and interconnected locally owned, produced and distributed, we can begin the real peace project.
By transforming our public services from multinational corporations to locally owned, produced and distributed… we can change the outcome and our addictions to a very sick system.
