Meet the DEAL Community

Tampere, Länsi-Suomi, Suomi

Integral practitioner and educator. Trying to value the Code of Care by taking care of myself so that I can care others an by that we can take care our places, organizations by building healthy communities. I believe this is the way how we can take Care the whole Planet. Experience in city administration and specialized in local public law. Special interest in ecosystems. Last publication https://www.academia.edu/40802779/Public_sector_in_startup_ecosystems cooperation between cities and startups (startup ecosystems in cites).  Integral -ajattelun harjoittaja. Omassa elämässä pyrin elämään elämäääni koodin mukaisesti - pitämällä huolta itsestäni, jotta voin pitää huolta muista ja yhdessä voimme huolehtia paikoista, kuten yhteisöistämme, organisaatiostamme, naapurustosta ja kaupungeistamme ja tätä kautta huolehdimme planeetasta. Integral City on kaupunkien tulevaisuuden kehitysvaihe, joka tapahtuu Smart City -kehitysvaiheiden jälkeen. Integral City -kehitysvaiheessa ihmisten kanssa rakennettaan kaupungin/kunnan merkityksellisyyttä. Integral City ajattelussa ei poissuljeta vaan yhdistetään eri ajattelua ja arvostetaan jo kaiken monipuolisuutta itsessään merkityksellisenä.

Bern, Bern/Berne, Schweiz

I am a concerned human, with a master in philosophy and educated as Kaospilot my desire has been for a long time to build bridges between disciplines and bring knowledge and wisdom into societal and economic action. In my humble discernment, I would agree to humanity being in an unprecedented situation. Both in self-inflicted danger zone for our and many species survival as well as potentially within the threshold to a thriving future. The collective decisions in this decade will probably shape decades into the future in existential ways. We have a small think and do tank in Bern Switzerland a want to contribute best as we can to a future able society.

Hyderabad, Telangana, India

A researcher in climate change and business, aspiring to make a difference through practice-based research. Humans are capable of a lot more. We have truly not evolved and the proof lies in how we have treated the planet that's home to us. Real evolution will come when we have learned to co-exist in harmony. Its simple and yet we end up making things so complex. Things I care about- the business of climate change, girl child education, menstrual and sexual hygiene, animal welfare and mental well-being
