In 2020 the Collaboration for Change (CfC) team worked online to write the Declaration for the Common Good. Over 60 organisations agreed with these values and commitments. Our new project 'Creating a Different Story' aims to build connections between existing and new signatories. We acknowledge the enormous amount of work being done under the radar by activists, usually voluntarily. There are many people who have been paying attention to existing dysfunctional systems and designing alternatives; who have been sharing and caring; building networks of support; developing skills in every area. So, we invite you to join us in our new project with the following 3 steps: Step One: Sign the Declaration at www.cfctogether.org Step Two: Share your Vision Click on the Group tile below, then add your work by clicking The Work button and writing a short piece about your work, with a video or image if desired. Once you've created a tile for your work, you'll be asked to outline Your Vision of the world in 10 years' time, and how it's changed because of the work you're doing. You can also write about any Connections you're making or would like to make with others in relation to your work. You'll be able to follow and respond to comments in your tile. Step Three: Make Connections You'll be invited to workshops designed to enable informal and deliberate connections. Discussions will be facilitated to allow us to make meaningful, practical, lasting connections with likeminded people and with people we don’t immediately see as allies. The aim is to provide an alternative to the overwhelming narrative that we need to protect and divide in competition for scarce resources. Together we can create A Different Story based on kindness, curiosity, and cooperation. We can remain open to learning, to exploring, and to allowing new possibilities to emerge.
