  CREATIVITY FOR FUTURE: HOW CAN WE WORK ON THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL FOR THE FUTURE?

On October 26, we are going to talk about creativity. According to the World Economic Forum, it is the most important skill for the future. Are you wondering what that means? We will discuss the topic, and explore how everyone can connect to inspiration – very much like artists do – and how this skill can be used for problem-solving of all kinds. We will also talk about co-creation and cross-innovation, two central aspects of creative problem-solving. Claudia will guide us through an exercise, where we will learn how to connect with creative energy – everywhere and anytime.

Facilitators:
The call will be hosted by Diana Oser, collaboratio helvetica's community fairy together with our guest Claudia Rinke. She is an award-winning author and filmmaker and has previously worked as an international lawyer, including for the United Nations. Claudia is a catalyst in collaboration Helvetica's current fourth edition of the Catalyst Lab for the climate.

A guest speaker at a seminar we recently facilitated shared his own definition of VUCA: “Having a Vision, knowing your USP (unique selling proposition), taking Chances, and having Ambition.”

Being aware that the world we live in is increasingly complex is one thing. It is quite another thing to live the strategies and practices to respond to it at an individual, team and organisational level. We explore the latter in our workshop: How can we bridge our vision and purpose with our daily work? How can we identify risks and opportunities in what can sometimes feel an overwhelming environment? And how can we bring our unique strengths to the process? 

Join us on Zoom for a free workshop on “Leadership in a changing and complex world”. Over 90 minutes we will:

• explore tools and models from systems thinking to make sense of a changing and complex world, 

• learn about practices and tips that you can use yourself and in your team on a daily or regular basis,

• invite you to share your own experiences and hear from others from around the world.

This workshop also provides an opportunity to learn more about what Unity Effect offers in the areas of leadership development, organisational learning, and regenerative measurement and evaluation. 

This is a free, public workshop. We especially welcome those working in purpose- and vision-driven organisations, such as foundations, development agencies, social enterprises or impact networks. Whether you’re a leader, team member, or simply curious to explore the topic, we invite you to join us — and would love to learn from your experiences too!

You don’t need any prior knowledge to attend the workshop. Just bring your curiosity, and ideally join us from somewhere you can speak during breakouts. 

We look forward to welcoming you!

Leading Positive Change: The Power of Stakeholder Engagement

Driving positive change is crucial for our society to thrive sustainably on a habitable planet. The required efforts to achieve these goals will need to happen in all the layers of society – companies included. At the same time, leading change within a company demands a lot of courage and persistence, with the added challenge of convincing employees to support and embrace the necessary changes. How can we best approach these challenges?

In this community call, Julia Bodin, founder of Let's Talk Waste, will share insights on how stakeholder engagement was a key element of success in the collaboration with Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling, a company who committed to achieve zero plastic waste in their operations by 2025 . 

Facilitators:
The call will be hosted by Kaspar Paur, collaboratio helvetica's key account lead with catalyst, and founder of Let's Talk Waste, Julia Bodin. Let's Talk Waste is a project that empowers employees to actively engage and work on waste reduction, and related topics. Since 2018, Julia educates, empowers and co-strategizes with employees of companies who are looking to either raise awareness of the impact of waste and plastic pollution and/or who have a specific goal in mind to reduce waste production at their location. 

Who can join the call?
Anyone interested in learning more about the topic and getting to know Collaboratio Helvetica is warmly welcome to join the call, so don't hesitate to invite your friends and whomever you feel would benefit from this call.

In this call, we are going to delve into the heart of the Youth4Switzerland project, a one-year-long initiative by collaboratio helvetica, dedicated to nurturing youth involvement for a sustainable future and empowering young changemakers in different ways. Our guest Loukina Tille, Catalyst, former team member and co-lead of Youth4Switzerland, will discuss how the initiative came about, and share the hurdles she encountered as well as the successes she achieved. Last but not least, we will have the opportunity to talk about Loukina’s journey as a young changemaker in Switzerland, and how she navigates the complexities of today’s challenges.

Facilitators:
The call will be hosted by Diana Oser, collaboratio helvetica’s community fairy, Katalin Hausel from collaboratio helvetica, who mentored and co-facilitated the project, and our guest Loukina Tille, Catalyst, former team member and co-lead of the Youth4Switzerland project from 2022 until 2023.
Loukina Tille is a political science student at the University of Zurich. She has been active in the Climate Strike movement where she was involved in the organisation of SMILE in August 2019, which brought together 400 young climate activists from 38 countries, and other events. She wants to deepen her understanding of system change and practice it. For that reason, she is involved in different projects; the Fossil Fuel Treaty, in the student association of political scientists and as a firekeeper at the World Ethic Forum.

MissionStift setzt sich unabhängig von Politik und Religion für Straßenkinder in Süd-Ost-Asien ein. Dabei gehen wir neue und außergewöhnliche Wege und verlassen einmal den normalen Weg, der Entwicklungshilfe. Wir verändern aktuell unser Konzept, wollen eine andere Richtung gehen, als es viele in diesem Bereich tun. Wir werden damit einen Kurs einschlagen, der sich von vielen anderen abhebt, da wir der Überzeugung sind - Entwicklungshilfe muss sich verändern! 

Dafür suchen wir vielleicht auch dich! Wir brauchen motivierte und engagierte Menschen, die ehrenamtlich mithelfen möchten. Du hast Erfahrung in der Entwicklungshilfe, bist in der IT zu Hause, oder hast sonstige Fähigkeiten die gut passen würden? 

Schreib mir gerne und lass uns uns ins Gespräch kommen! 

In welcher Art digitalisierter Gesellschaft wollen wir leben? Wie können und sollten IT- und insbesondere KI-gestützte Anwendungen dazu beitragen, die Welt von morgen humaner zu gestalten und die Lebensqualität möglichst vieler Menschen zu steigern?

Mit dem Wolfgang-Heilmann-Preis 2021 zeichnet die Integrata Stiftung Visionäre und Vordenker aus, die ambitionierte, grundsätzlich aber auch realisierbare Zukunftsentwürfe für eine digitalisierte Gesellschaft entwickeln.

Die Preisträgerin des Jahres 2020 war Walburga Fröhlich von atempo, mit dem Produkt "capito", das aus Fachchinesisch leicht verständliche Informationen macht. Übersetzt wird in drei Sprachstufen - von ganz einfach bis zur leichten Umgangssprache. Capito bereitet die Übersetzung auch digital auf. So erhält der Endkunde mit der capito App sein Aha-Erlebnis direkt am Smartphone: Barcode auf dem Behördenformular eingescannt und schon erscheint auf dem Handy die Übersetzung in einfaches Deutsch. Genial! Mehr dazu auf der Webseite von atempo.at.
