NaZemi: Vision and Mission 

We dream of a world where the needs of all people are met within planetary boundaries. To solve the current crises and achieve this vision, we need a profound transformation of our culture and social structures from dominance and competition to partnership and cooperation.

We are contributing to such transformation of our society in the areas of education, economics, and facilitation: 

• In economics, we are pioneering debates about transforming our society towards a degrowth economy, whose core organizing principle will not be growth and profit, but meeting needs, caring, and sufficiency. 
• Through direct work with young people and teachers, we disseminate transformative global education approaches that enable critical examination of the contemporary world in its global context and empower its transformation towards greater sustainability and equity.
• For the transformative solutions needed to be robust, we need to learn to dialogue across differences collaboratively. By facilitating and supporting self-directed organizations, we help create a democratic and partnership environment where the voices and needs of all are heard.

Moreover, we now run NaNebi – a workshop site in Porta Coeli Monastery in Předklášteří, just a few train stops outside Brno which can accommodate up to 40 people. It’s a place where we run many of our workshops, but also host other organizations, communities, and collectives where we model living our values.

We try to live our values to the fullest as an organization. We are a TEAL, self-managed and democratic organization, and we design systems around key areas of management such as decision-making, feedback flow, information flow, resource flow, and conflict resolution in a way that is responsive to the needs of all and that goes beyond the logic of dominance and top-down control.
