UNSER BEITRAG
UNSER BEITRAG ZU DEN UN-NACHHALTIGKEITSZIELEN
Die Schweiz hat eine lange Tradition der Kooperation und des Dialogs über Sprachbarrieren und Religionsunterschiede hinweg. Wir glauben daher an das einzigartige Potenzial der Schweiz, mit partizipativen Ansätzen zu einem Wandel hin zu mehr ökologischer Verantwortung, Menschlichkeit und Gemeinwohl beizutragen. Collaboratio helvetica befähigt engagierte Menschen und Organisationen, eingefahrene Positionen aufzuweichen, Dialoge wirksamer zu führen, neue Zusammenarbeitsformen zu implementieren und so gemeinsam die Schweiz von morgen neu zu denken und zu gestalten. Gemeinsam leisten wir einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den UN-Nachhaltigkeitszielen.

Our education system is based on functional and knowledge learning. Plans, instructions, school-clock, time and performance are key. Personal development and natural growth is undervalued in the school and in the company environment. Many sectors of economy are in a huge transformation process and industries are more and more fully automatized.
An explorative journey to a healthy post COVID-19 Switzerland - With the Corona crisis, we are facing an unprecedented disruption. Systems we relied on before are on the brink of collapse and immediate actions were needed on multiple levels.

The Funding Systems Change Initiative is a collaborative effort driven by a coalition of foundations and changemakers in Switzerland, and led by Ashoka Switzerland and collaboratio helvetica. Recognizing the need for systemic solutions to tackle complex challenges, this initiative seeks to transform conventional funding practices and empower foundations to adopt and embrace transformative funding mechanisms.
Our vision is that organisations in Geneva and beyond leverage their full potential to use innovation to respond to societal needs by transforming their employees into intrapreneurial leaders, connected to a wider community of changemakers and disruptors that are paving the way for the new economy.
How can we use examples from sports and nature as new ways of sustainable working experiences in organizations?
How can we create healthy relationships with work, money and wellbeing?
How to find a process that is appreciative and allows to really get to know and understand each others despite limited time available?

Humanity’s current rate of resource consumption eventually means we will run out. In Switzerland we consume 3 times what we should aim for a sustainable development. Meanwhile, we produce “waste” unlike any other species on the planet – it is a man-made problem.

COVID-19 has delivered a stark lesson about the global interconnectedness of the health of humans, animals and our planet, known as the One Health concept. In the times of a drastically warming climate, the decisions that are taken during the next 18 months will fundamentally define the health of all future living beings.

Crises cause great challenges, conflicts and traumatic experiences. At the same time, however, they create spaces for new opportunities to arise.
Citizens-led solutions to empower democratic decision-making for complex problem solving
As a society, we need to tackle the climate and ecological crisis. The “Democracy in transformation” working group of Nova Helvetia aims to find out how we can solve these complex problems that require political efficiency by implementing alternative forms of a society-led democracy.

We are a growing community of changemakers in Switzerland. We need regular face-to-face meetings where we can get to know each other, exchange ideas and knowledge and learn about different projects.

Foundations play an important role in enabling and guiding action towards a more sustainable and ethical future. The increasing complexity of the challenges we are facing and the need to work towards systemic change has motivated us to convene actors from the field that are interested in exploring this topic further. Our intention is to co-create a series of stakeholder dialogues with the aim to ideate and prototype novel modes of collaboration and funding to enable and enhance social innovation and systemic change at scale.
Our systems and societal structures are based on stories, narratives, paradigms, even though most of the time we are not aware of it.
