I you are not already listing to the Mystery show you can start by listening to this episode. If it does not make you a fan (or an addict) we have less in common than I thought….
“Build the City: perspectives on commons and culture” – get a copy!
The IdeaCamp is based on shared knowledge and open source philosophy. To have a chance to solve the massive challenges that we are facing today we do not need competition but more collaboration!

The barefoot march in Venice September 11th 2015

Students and elderly live together at Dutch nursing home
A nursing home in the Netherlands invited university students to live rent-free alongside the elderly residents. In exchange for an apartments, the Humanitas retirement home in Deventer, Netherlands, requires students to spend at least 30 hours per month being “good neighbors,” Humanitas head Gea Sijpkes said to PBS NewsHour. What an marvelous and simple solution for loneliness […]
