By combining the forces of proximity-, identity-, and interest-based belonging, we can create the community of tomorrow - the ultimate cross-cultural network. Community Capitalism– If you can’t beat them, make them better Capitalism has destroyed the sense of collaboration and supporting one another. We must reimagine our economic and social system by transitioning into a community capitalist model where we circulate social capital and value the social currency that local organizations offer. https://incommonstudio.co/Purpose Mon, 11 Apr 2022 13:59:10 +0000 incommonstudio https://incommonstudio.co/Purpose Purpose:The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists, to have as one’s personally or collective intentions and objective Actionable change Research Frameworks <img width="1616" height="890" width_o="1616" height_o="890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59b1a06763dcc527188119a2330b2dd6899996a74aeaa35913a934d9a98132f2/Screen-Shot-2022-04-11-at-6.18.55-PM.png" data-mid="142105584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59b1a06763dcc527188119a2330b2dd6899996a74aeaa35913a934d9a98132f2/Screen-Shot-2022-04-11-at-6.18.55-PM.png" /> Start from the bottom to affect systemic change Our co-creation framework fosters belonging at a systemic level. Building a future proofed community necessitates a committed and focused group of community individuals. One-off projects and temporary solutions are a waste of time and resources - prioritize enduring changes and effects. Harness the Power &amp; Own the Freedom of Your Journey A true sense of belonging will take you through a journey - from representing your culture to actively participating in it to and the ultimate unlock: co-creating and driving it forward. Drive DEI Forward with Inter-Cultural Solidarity Diversity is our future– whether the world is ready or not. Not simply multi-cultural spaces, but cultural solidarity and cross cultural exchange are key as we identify our mutual interests and shared visions to unite our local communities. https://incommonstudio.co/Dialogue Mon, 11 Apr 2022 14:35:53 +0000 incommonstudio https://incommonstudio.co/Dialogue DialogueDialogue is a written or spoken conversational exchange between two or more people, manifested in many literary and theatrical forms that depicts such an exchange.

To build the necessary racial, social, and economic equity our society demands, we must support others and in turn feel supported to help shape your collective identity. Embrace what is uncomfortable A strong community with a healthy sense of belonging creates 3rd places and community spaces for people to gather, face realities and painful experiences, and ask questions about how to heal and progress together. Be okay feeling uncomfortable. What is most important often costs what is most difficult. The most important conversations are often the hardest ones to have.
