Secret location revealed 2hours before event 12047 Berlin
It’s fascinating and inspiring to live in this time of human history. Cultural paradigms and values are shifting. There is an increasing sense that basic ideas we are guided by and those that shape structures we’ve built to make sense of the world are becoming outdated: the “factory model” of education, mindless over-consumption of planetary resources, intolerance to cultural pluralism, ways of production that lead to environmental degradation, superficial short-term economics-driven politics, neoliberal mindset, cultural integrities challenged by the rapid digitalisation and slow catching up of social and emotional development, and so on.
People interested in intentional cultural change, and those who are involved in the process of contributing to this change will gather at cocreation.woods. We invite thinkers and doers from different sectors (business, education, science, arts and others) who dedicate their work to conscious co-creation of new culture. What is this new culture about and what are the common denominators of it across and beyond different “departments” of society — that’s the question we set off to explore. Enriched by cross-pollinated viewpoints, we want to find common insights that cross disciplinary boundaries and make it possible for us to support each other in our own transformative processes, to translate gained knowledge and experiences to our own fields, and possibly develop common projects.
During the evening and after every course, contributors will bring ideas, art, and thoughts to the table to ignite the deep conversations. These contributions can differ in presentation and qualities they bring: from an engaging and inspiring talk to music, serving a smell or flavor or an image. The whole process will be documented by artists in drawings, words, photos, videos, and other surprising formats.
The goal is to co-create a holistic experience with little interventions, open conversations, direct exchange, and dinner experience of a different kind.
Dinner
It will be a dinner in an intimate atmosphere for about 20 people. It will play with the theme of the forest as a metaphor of a society we wish for: where cultures, creativity, curiosity, sustainability, awareness, and all the different fields of human activity and knowledge organically grow together into a mutually supportive global community.
