SEEDS Changemakers Program
The SEEDS Changemakers to Citizens Pilot Program is an ambassador program designed as a model for onboarding non-SEEDizen changemakers to SEEDS Citizens using a self-organization system based on caring.
Program Details
The program supports 125 active regeneration changemakers in the non-SEEDS world, those that are committed to regeneration, and often find cryptocurrency and blockchain systems as too difficult or exclusive to understand or participate in. The program is based on the values of caring, mutuality and self organization. The program provide the changemakers with a family-like framework to discover what they resonate with, how to co-create, and where to gain support in becoming a high Reputation Citizen of SEEDS.
The program is based on the following systems:
- A caring-based system, Partnerism that recognizes the economic value of care and adequately rewards it in both the market & non-market sectors.
- A self organizing system known as Open_Participatory_Organization_(OPO). OPO is based on the principle of ‘roles are known by all, and owned by none’. It runs on CRISP (Continuously Restarting Its Starting Position) Governance - governance that is truly continuously renewing, reinventing, revitalizing itself.
History
Be The Change Cooperative, a cooperative of changemakers supporting the development of ‘ecovillages-in-a-building’ that are designed, governed, and owned by local communities, developed a proposal to onboard 125 non-SEEDS participants into the SEEDS ecosystem as SEEDS Citizens. The facilitators of the program are graduates of the SEEDS Ambassador Academy, and includes a cohort of 5-10 Ambassadors from around the world (Africa, Asia, Europe, US, Asia, South America). The proposal includes a request of 1000 Seeds per invited participant, to be rewarded as invites of the Ambassadors.
