Renaissance2
2009 was a formative year for Renaissance2. Following our exploratory 2008 roadshow to 13 meetings in 8 cities on 4 continents, meeting 250 senior decision makers and leaders, 2009 saw R2 gain over 500 new members in 30 countries. We ran two major events which attracted over 100 people to our base in Perpignan as well as organised or spoke at meetings in Brussels, Paris and London which were each attended by a few hundred movers and shakers.
During our June and October Great Shift events, over 50 different innovative ideas and open space discussions resulted in 20 ongoing projects in renewable energy, resilient environments, integral governance and enlightened enterprise. The R2 team grew to 20 players including 15 part-time volunteers who helped organise and facilitate events. The first R2 project has reached completion with 16 photovoltaic solar panels installed on the roof of the R2 base, Chateau La Tour Apollinaire in Perpignan in southern France. The panels will produce 4 KWH of electricity and save at least 5 tonnes of CO² over the next 20 years - a small start!
Renaissance2 and the WorldShift Alliance
During the first annual Renaissance2 Great Shift Gathering in October 2009 more than 40 projects and programs emerged during GSG1, one of the most important of these was the launch of the WorldShift Alliance on 26 October. The purpose of the WSA is to bring together significant organizations who are already pathfinders in their respective fields of social, cultural and technological transformation (“the WSA partners”), to scan for, map, connect and communicate what is already working globally (“the WSA process”), in order to amplify our capacity to co-create a thriving global civilization while dealing with the current global emergency we all face.
The key next steps for the WSA are its formation as an international NGO, the design and development of governance and economic models for the WSA Ecosystem projects, programs and businesses, and the putting in place of the key modules for the WSAP together with the fund raising activities required to support these activities.
