Transcript of Communities Convergence The First Danube Convergence
" To converge is an ancient custom; it means to reunite, to reconnect, to share, to celebrate, to cooperate, to learn, to support, to dream and act as a single community that speaks with the same voice and loves as one
heart! What is the greatest joy in life if not to share its miracles with others?"
An ancient custom
The tribes converge and scatter as blood through a heart.
What is it all about
to develop a prototype for building up communities of practice and bioregional networks.
MOVEMENT
PLATFORM
PILOT PROJECT
What has been done to start the pilot:
Website
Communication
Fundraising
http://www.communitiesconvergence.org
The peer-funding campaign that took place before the convergence provided 640 euro
It started 3 months before the event.
As a pilot project for a bio-regional convergence and support networks between communities of all kinds this exercise was a success.
The main intentions were met: people found each-other and connected common work, some communities welcomed new members and different communities from the bio-region shared knowledge and opportunities.
