Introduce yourself. / Michele introduction
Last post by Michele Bergonzi - Apr 20, 2022, 04:47 AM
Hello citizens community! Nice to be here!

I'm an indipendent researcher on networks and media. 

My approach is the Systemic Thinking, or the Systems View of Life.

My fields of interest are: social networks, cities development, economic system, eco-design, philosophy of technology and sciences, cybernetics, deep ecology, group dynamics.

I'm a contract professor in media ecology at the IULM University in Milan, a social entrepreneur, papa of 2 kids.

In 2021 I founded a startup awarded with the "Smart city 2020" Award from the Municipality of Milan. Bridged - the generative urban network, is a platform designed to promote new urban connections between enterprises and NGOs, in order to generate sustainable environmental and social impact. We're actually validating our model.
We facilitate synergies, connecting innovative projects SDGs oriented, and donors (of capitals and expertise, matter and energy) who want to sustain urban conversion and regeneration. 
We aim to match needs by creating social and ecological value. 
Our focus is on the network of networks, on relationships, interdependence, cooperation and inclusion. 

I'm open to connect with every member of this community, and share doubts, questions, ideas, practices, in order to design and promote more sustainable culture, cities and society.

Introduce yourself. / Julian Chender Introduction

Hi Everyone,

My name is Julian and I am a citizen of New York City and the world. I have recently started an organization to create a healthier and more vibrant New York City called 11A Collaborative (www.11Acollaborative.com). As an organization development and design practitioner, I see society as something that has been and will continued to be designed. My goal is to bring consciousness and good practice to this design. I figure if we can design healthy organizations, why not design healthy societies? 

For me, society can be at any level of system, from two people to the whole world. Even the universe is a society in ways. I have written an article about the Four Foundations of Society, the levers at which we can make change. You can read it here: https://11acollaborative.com/blog-home/a9wxsl22xcj6f9oucitxzw8h38m3j1. I'd love to connect, so please reach out. 

Best,
Julian

Like many residents of the Gatineau/Ottawa region, I am a retired Federal Public Servant. I am also an author, a Dad and a Grand-Dad, as well as a Volunteer and Activist always in action. Architectural Designer by profession, I am first of all a Citizen who recognizes the critical importance of citizen's involvement in society. For instance, so to make our World better, my action and contribution have always aimed at helping the ultra poor.

Over the years, I have been:
a)     The Co-founder of RESULTS Canada organization in the Outaouais Region;
b)    The Founder of Diku-Dilenga Canada (Happy Families), now called Femmes, Engagement mondial (FEM) and;
c)     Board Member of Global Poverty Solutions (GPS).

These organizations have been tools for me, a platform so to reach my goal of reducing the suffering associated to extreme poverty, which, sadly enough, will always be part of the Global picture.

Je suis un retraité de la Fonction publique fédérale, comme plusieurs de mes contemporains dans la région Gatineau/Ottawa. Je suis également un auteur, un papa et grand-papa, ainsi qu'un bénévole de cœur et militant toujours en action. Dessinateur architectural de formation, je suis d'abord et avant tout un citoyen à part entière. J'ai en effet toujours reconnu l'importance de la participation citoyenne. Pour ma part, afin d'améliorer notre monde, l'accent aura notamment été mis sur le sort des ultra pauvres.

Au cours des ans, j'aurai été:
a)     Co-fondateur de l'organisme RÉSULTATS Canada dans la région Outaouaise ;
b)     Fondateur de Diku-Dilenga Canada (Familles heureuses), maintenant Femme, Engagement Mondial (FEM) et;
c)     Membre du conseil d'administration l'organisme Solutions à la pauvreté mondiale.
 
Ces organismes m'auront servi de plateforme, d'outils pour rencontrer cet objectif de faire reculer la pauvreté, une plaie qui, malheureusement, accompagnera toujours l'humain.

Introduce yourself. / Denis Pageau

Hi community members,

Welcome to the first and only Community of Practice for Citizens. I am the instigator of this new tool that will help us better understand our societies and then make it so that we can use this information to make our societies better.

This is community has been a long time makign, Sometimes life makes us take a winding detour. For me, the following years 1976, 1989, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2020 are important milestones. Each in their own way, these milestones led me to develop a new management science specifically built to study societies and citizenship.

A few of these milestones help me acquire knowledge as I obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology, a certificate in public administration and a Master in business administration. Some of then has to do with social planning. The last one is the most important one and it has to do with social order.

Social order is the glue that helps us live together. The question we have to ask ourselves is this one: "is the social order of your society keeping you from being free, or is it your freedom that creates the social order of your society? "
