Spot the Future Georgia We focus on social innovation, smart communities, resilient societies and economies in Georgia. And we would like to hear from you. Based on observation, a recurring obstacle to engage support for innovative work seems to be making the connection between projects/ efforts to tackle challenges at a micro-scale, and larger problems that ‘would be’ supporters are faced with. Let’s be creative about how our individual projects and work can work together to make a bright future happen for Georgia....

The discussion on principles stays open anyway. LOTE3 “The unPilgrimage” . Edgeryders at CCC Edgeryders like the annual CCC event in Hamburg, Germany. Here, we organize how we go there together.

People do work to make a living. Others do work to make meaning. But the two works are not the same work.” The unMonastery is an ambitious and radical response to the challenge of bridging this gap. It draws inspiration from the 10th century monastic life to encourage radical forms of social innovation and collaboration. A sort of lay, off-grid mendicant order striving for a society that can...
