Let´s join efforts and together MAKE a bigger difference.
"Makers for Humanity" are dedicated change-makers with different skills and backgrounds, co-working for humanitarian solutions, culture and concepts. "m4h" are an umbrella group for Makers and Shakers to cocreate a caring-sharing community.
Each m4h-partner works on his/her specific field and area to improve their local situation and that´s the best way for communal impact. The m4h collective and platform presents and networks these change makers and their best-practise samples and furthermore provides cooperative tools and media to enable and support interdisciplinary projects.
The „Lake of Change“ is a socio-ecologic Act-Up happening on a selected waterbody in Bangalore. Initiated by the interdisciplinary makers4humanity collective, several local and international partners and people join efforts in this temporary
project to encourage and stage-manage the new socio-ecological perception of urban waters through cultural and co-creative methods, designs and events. The sustainable urban transition and its individual daily actions need inspiring symbols,
participatory methods and appropriate designs to emerge in large.
The Lake-of-Change program consists of five interconnected activities:
> 4-weeks students workshop with the Srishti Institute
> The Lake-of-Change conference, 8.12.2018
The German interdisciplinary Change-Makers gathering (Hier noch der alte Erklärfilm von 2018... :-)
Interdisziplinäre (Change)Maker* treffen sich Pfingsten zu einem dreitägigen ZukunftsLabor. Die Akteure des gesellschaftlichen Wandels vergleichen ihre Positionen, Ideen und Praktiken, um ein l(i)ebenswertes Zukunftsbild zu entwickeln. Arbeitsteilig
kooperativ kann diese Zukunft gelingen und gemeinsam vor Ort gefeiert werden.
*makers4humanity (m4h) sind Macher*innen, die gemeinwohlorientiert an Teillösungen für ein dauerhaft gutes Leben auf dem Planeten arbeiten und ihre Lösungen teilen, um die Vision gemeinsam zu realisieren.
Nach dem spektakulären Erfolg unserer Recycling-Schwimminsel „Open-Island“ bei den Festivals splash + MELT in Ferropolis und der großen Teilnehmer/innen-Nachfrage an unseren MakerCamps haben wir für die Inselsaison 2017 wieder einige Frei-Tickets für makers4humanity auf beiden Festivals ausgehandelt und werden eine grandiose schwimmende Insel bauen und bespielen. Es gibt 3 Zeiträume für die Maker-Camps: 30.06.17 - 5.7.17 Open Island Basecamp 5.7.17 – 11.7.17 Open Island Camp zum Splash! 11.7.17 -19.07.17 Open Island Camp zum MELT!
Change-makers of all disciplines are invited to join and use the #makers4humanity as a collective, network, label or platform to expand their impact, speed up their production and join eforts within glocal campaigns all over the planet.
This m4h-gathering is a great opportunity to meet interdisciplinar makers in June 2017.
Interdisziplinäre (Change)Maker* treffen sich Anfang Juni zu einem viertägigen m4h-Fest. Aktive Gruppen und Menschen für gesellschaftlichen Wandel kommen in konstruktiv-kreativer Atmosphäre zusammen und vergleichen ihre Positionen und Praktiken
mit dem Ziel, Synergien zu ermitteln, Strategien zu vereinbaren und ggfs. eine Impact-Allianz zu schmieden. 1. Welche Ziele verbinden die anwesenden Gruppen und wie können sie sich dabei gegenseitig unterstützen? 2. Welche kooperativen
Aktivitäten helfen den einzelnen Akteuren oder werden erst gemeinschaftlich möglich? 3. Wie kann ein jährliches Maker-Event in Ferropolis aussehen und wer macht mit welchen Inhalten 2018 mit?
Once we join efforts for the common good, organize the collective demand for better products and systems, share the knowledge freely and connect the existing solutions to humanitarian problems, we altogether can make a big difference for many
individuals and our societies,
Join the tribe and meet great people from all over the globe. Crowdfund your project or help others realize theirs.
Experience the power of collaborative action online or on decentral locations within meaningful projects.
Todays communication technology enables cooperative and interdisciplinar joint projects like never before. M4h is co-creating an open-source platform for change makers, that incorporates the best online tools for joint action and open knowledge
distribution.
Let´s share our skills and knowledge, let´s discuss glocal problems and co-create appropriate solutions, let´s connect and organize joint action in your area and topic.
There are many problems to solve and situations to improve. With targeted challenges on specific cases or scenarios, m4h asks change-makers world-wide to help collect existing and co-create new solutions for exemplary problems. Implemented,
evaluated and documented with DIY-manuals, these solutions become best-practise projects to be adopted for similar environments or situations.
