Organizing the Alternative Climate Summit for 2009

Co-CreationLab is co-operating with the group of Pioneers of Change in Copenhagen in creating an alternative summit in 2009, when the official Climate Change Summit is to take place.

The core idea behind the initiative is to create and facilitate an event that focuses on the possibilities, on sustainable solutions and on the potentials behind different initiatives in the world. The intention is to show that we must think beyond immediate problem-solving, that we must focus on the solutions already present and that we have to begin c0-creating a future as we want it!

It is intended as an event that gathers various fields, initiatives from different domains and inspiration from global sources in order to create an interactive, liveable and engageable space for all the participants.

The event is currently in its early development stage. However, we invite ideas and initatives from others who are interested in creating an event focused on the sustainable futures.

Join!

Events: Co-CreationLab at Global Journey in Brazil

From 1 December to 8 December, we have been participating in the Global Journey in Brazil, organized by the global network Pioneers of Change. This event gathered over 40 people from all over the world, and from a wide number of disciplines and areas of interest. The topic of the gathering was sustainability and sustainable communities, which was explored in-depth throughout the 7 day process. The hosting team invited all the participants to host sessions, to raise topics of interest and to explore the issues that were most relevant to them. Thus the process as a whole reflected the richness of the perspectives, backgrounds and expertises of the participants. Activities ranged from open space sessions, world café sessions, theatric explorations, life council sessions, coaching and project presentations. A vast number of ideas, co-operative links and future plans arose in the process, regarding everything from the future and the shape of the PoC network, over project-co-operation and sharing to entirely new projects being formed!

We at Co-CreationLab had the chance to get familiar with other projects and form associative links between Dreamers Inc. and other youth projects around the world. Furthermore, Co-CreationLab was able to present the project of Alternative Climate Summit initiatied by the Pioneers in Copenhagen. The consequence of presenting this project in an open space session was vast! We acquired very rich imput, we had been given a number of implementable ideas and importantly we acquired interst from others to co-operate on the creation of this event!
Thank you to all the pioneers - it was a most rewarding experience!!!!!
