WOW. What an energized circle it was in the learning session, gathered around a sustainable ‘BarCampFire’! I’m still feeling it. Exploring what forms of education can lead us to a more sustainable way of living led to an epiphany that a lot of our learning is social - we absorb our behaviors from the people around us, and for most here, that means our office/work/school environment. So we committed to do something to take control of that, ultimately by creating our own utopian place.
Session recap: What forms of Learning / education can lead us to a more sustainable way of living? How can we create a Place through which we Learn how to Behave more sustainably?
Name of session contact: Kamyar (Dance For Unity) & HUBib (The Hub)

14. Take plants to my workdesk and water them
15. Share fruits with my co-workers/classmates
16. Observe a 2 minute silence before I meet someone or begin a task
17. Yoga for 10 minutes to start my day
18. Start a journey to cocreate a NEW working and learning PLACE that radiates mass sustainability out to its surrounding environment and is itself inside the embodiment of sustainability!!!!!!!!!
Pledgers: You know who you are, even if you missed the session itself – we have your postits! And if you didn’t, but now want to, read on!
Call to Action:
We’ll take your word for #12-17. For those who pledged, or now want to pledge for the ambitious #18, we’re going to make our lives easier by making this a collective effort! Just visit http://www.the-hub.ae and sign up there. That would be the next step, and we’ll have gatherings towards it every few weekends or so.
To the right is a tag cloud of the mindmap we created together in the session. And here is a fascinating summary document of what we envisioned this place would be like: A Sustainable Place in UAE.
Crowdbuild a Place for us in UAE to Learn how to Behave more Sustainably
