Our group met during u-lab 1x - 2023.
We have a common interest in the relationship of people and society with nature.
We are deeply concerned about the multiple contemporary crises that are driving the Earth system to imminent collapse.
We believe that it is utterly needed to connect people with nature, develop biophilia, especially in urbanites and people that are disconnected not only from nature, but from their inner self.
Social circumstances and family play a significant role when a person makes a professional choice, which frequently leads to a life of emptiness and dissatisfaction.
Organizations are facing huge challenges coming from the systemic changes related to climate, biodiversity and consequent economic crises, as well as from rapid development of disruptive technologies. Companies, NGOs and other organizations - public and private -, will have to adapt or will perish. Cities are on the forefront of impacts and disruptions that affect their residents’ well-being, health and safety.
We understand that the cascading disconnections lead individuals and organizations to make choices that are harmful to self, society and environment, in multiple ways and scales.
The project SocialSeeds aims to seed connections to enrich "social soil", on individuals, groups, organizations, and companies to germinate new possible nature-positive visions for times of rapid change.
It aims to generate real and positive transformations that resonate the intrinsic relationship between society and nature, and raise awareness that people are nature, so they must care for their home, the planet Earth.
