Reflections...

Starting one more week in Stockholm. New module, new short-term goals, renewing energies.
It's, actually, going really fast. Basically we are about to reach halfway on this process.
It's being very interesting to see how some concepts, some intuitions, have being valued throughout our work here.
Per shared an article, a few days ago,  about creating change and the importance of storytelling as a structure to allow and promote change, telling the story is not enough, engage and connecting people with no call to action is a waste of energy and opportunity. The author of that article is, himself, a prove of the importance of taking action. He co-founded Avaaz.org which is known worldwide and also purpose.org which is also very expressive on their mission, among others. Within purpose.org I found that a very good Brazilian woman participate on its foundation as well, it's a professional that I had the pleasure of collaborating with their business plan (on a different and awesome project called MeuRio) during the last competition I was acting as I evaluator.  Alessandra, her name, is a bright mind person, very like the ones we will be connecting through Nova around the world.

Think about it gives me a strong feeling about the change that we can create through those connections. The ability to bring Ideas to life and make projects tuning out in companies, desires in social movements.


Well... hope we can make that happen.
