Yet it’s the roots that anchor the tree, absorb waterContinue reading “Roots in the Garden and in Our Lives”

When a project won’t just end…

We started our DigInclude project 2 years ago. While it’s coming to its official end, we are far from really ending it. It is just impossible not to carry with a different meaning of work – and life, too. It is impossible not to build on all the learnings we experienced, and not to leaveContinue reading “When a project won’t just end…”

One wholesome response to the mental health crisis

Among many other crises (climate, care, housing) we also face a mental health crisis. While mental health cases and issues quickly rise, available support, staff and funding are in decline.

Our free online course on Digital Readiness: Consciously Digital

Although the digital age has been here with us for decades, societies and individuals have taken technology as an eventual alternative. When the Covid 19 pandemic hit, we suddenly had no choice: technology and digital, as only alternatives, ceased to exist and we needed to rely on technology more than ever before. The forced shift to more dynamic digital presence left us no time to really consciously shape how we work, learn, communicate, cooperate and exist as individuals and communities in the online spaces. So the question arises: are we ready?
