They support collaboratio helvetica with their knowledge, experience, network and perspective.Véronique Ruppert SchmittNational Focal Point for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030) in Cantons, Communes and Cities (ARE). ~ “A sustainable society is a society that is inclusive of all generations and social classes. We must continually find and reinvent ourselves. To this it is essential to address the needs, dreams and ideas of all those involved. That's what Collaboratio helvetica is all about. They create spaces for experimentation and by means of robust participatory processes help to open up new ways of living, working and thriving in communities that are worth living in for all of us. As part of the Wisdom Council I want to accelerate the systemic transformations needed for a fast and effective sustainable development in Switzerland”Alexander Schiefferco-Founder of Trans4m, a Catalyst for Integral Transformation ~ “I joined the Wisdom Council of collaboratio helvetica because of my profound belief in the significance of collaboratio helvetica, and its huge potential to grow into a force and source for societal and cultural renewal for Switzerland. Too rarely do we take a “whole society perspective”, and too rarely do we tap into the cultural roots of our societies to stimulate cultural and societal renewal. collaboratio helvetica is an attempt to do both of that.”Till BergerCoordinator Strategy Sustainable Development (ARE) ~ "I would like to see a Switzerland of solidarity in which the various social groups treat each other with esteem and respect.

This is what collaboratio helvetica is committed to.”Darya GerasimenkoProfessor for Sustainability Science at SSAU / Lecturer at HSG ~ "Collaboratio helvetica for me is a self-evolving prototype of a new quality of co-creation that is so needed in the modern world. Switzerland has a long tradition of self-responsible citizenship that has truly valued collaboration. I sense that this tradition could be deepened and evolved towards “practicing absolute love” as a guiding intention for such co-creation (rather than following slowly becoming outdated “political economy approach”). I am honored to join the Wisdom Council and looking forward to contribute to this beautiful mission."Solomon Jaya Prakashserial Social Entrepreneur and former country representative for Ashoka India. ~ “I am thrilled to be part of collaboratio helvetica and contribute to the way in which we as a team affect people to be catalysts for change.

We shift unhealthy patterns and allow the cyclic nature to unfold. We know we are in this for the long run, so we take time to mature and sustain our energy over time.Systemic ChangeWe dare to dive deep - together ~ To truly create the conditions for the required transformation, we need to move beyond fighting the symptoms and go to the root causes. Challenging and shifting deeply ingrained and institutionalised patterns and mindsets individually and collectively is critical to envisage systemic solutions. Together, we go deeper to the essence and open up to healthy pathways forward.Ecosystem AwarenessWe activate and work with the power of collective intelligence ~ We work towards collective transformation as an enlivened community fostering true collaborations between people, organisations and sectors. We commit to scale ideas and impact rather than individual success. We build on what is and cultivate a vibrant ecosystem by connecting multiple dots. Practicing shared leadership enables us to sense beyond fragmentation, creating coherence and synergy.Co-CreationWe co-create across boundaries leveraging diversity ~ We see collaboration and participation as essential to leverage societal change. Building bridges across perceived boundaries and bringing together unlikely allies are key to manifest the solutions that are required. We believe in the potential for wellbeing for all and know that everyone has a unique contribution to make, and anyone feeling this call is welcome in our community.EmbodimentWe start with ourselves, here and now ~ To change the “world”, we start with ourselves. We turn the focus inwards and embrace what is while striving to embody the change we know is possible. We thrive by learning, staying curious and playful. We are our own prototype, co-creating new ways of being and working together.PrototypingWe act through iterative processes and share our learnings ~ Forging the new by building on what’s present, we invite playfulness and give it our best shot. We dare to fail, adjust our course and learn as a community of practice. We probe, sense and respond. We build upon each other’s contributions and share our practices and knowledge openly.EmergenceWe embrace the yet unknown ~ We are at ease with complexity and uncertainty and trust emergent processes. We see conflict as an opportunity to learn how to tread on a healthy path of co-evolution. We stay rooted in the now while firmly holding the long-term intention - together we stay present in moments of creative tension and friction.ResponsibilityWe are accountable and engaged ~ By taking responsibility for and embodying our commitments we nurture trust amongst each other and enhance our shared vision and work. We practice to speak with intention and listen with attention, being in both open and truthful dialogue. We strive to be transparent, embrace vulnerability and stay present.ConveningsConvene people to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)._23767a54-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea001We convene a diversity of people who work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).ImplementationImplement the 2030 Agenda in Switzerland._23767b94-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea001.1SwitzerlandThe Catalyst Lab Cohort 2020/21Boryana MilovaHow can we create incentives for sustainable and future-oriented entrepreneurship in Switzerland?

Following the success of Switzerland’s first future laboratory in 2019/20, we will be running another Catalyst Lab from November 2020. The Catalyst Lab is a learning and design process which lasts several months and is tailor-made for dedicated individuals (Catalysts) and their teams, who are committed to implementing the 2030 Agenda in Switzerland by contributing to a change towards more ecological responsibility, humanity and the common good. _23767cca-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea00DialogueEngage in dialogue to explore the causes and solutions to pressing challenges._23767e8c-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea002We explore the root causes of today’s most pressing challenges and our collective potential to make a difference, through dialogue._23768026-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea00PrototypingPrototype and share new ways of working and living together._237683be-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea003We prototype new ways of working and living together and share what we learn.Design, Facilitation & TrainingsDesign and facilitate spaces and in-depths experiential processes._237685a8-b84c-11eb-bcc4-49120483ea003.1We are a network of facilitators and process stewards for systemic change and social innovation.
