Collaboration

Overview

Collaboration is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing collaboration in community projects.

Methods and Approaches

Collaboration spectrum: Community building exists on a spectrum between pure competition and deep collaboration. Most successful communities find a balance that encourages both individual initiative and collective support.

Key Insights

All solutions at the table: We need to start seeing all solutions at the table and working together rather than against each other. Collaboration enables this.

Learning from leaders: Engaging with entrepreneurs and business leaders who are working to change the world provides valuable insights into effective collaboration.

International partnerships: Some practitioners work on ambitious projects (e.g., building 100 technologies) through international collaboration, such as working with partners from different countries who bring land or other resources.

Historical collaboration: It can take significant time (e.g., 100 years) to create frameworks that enable collaboration. Some constitutions establish that education, state, and family will be promoted and included through the collaboration of society and full development of relationships.

Survival through collaboration: Collaboration can be essential for survival—working together enables communities to thrive.

Legal structures for cooperation: In many countries (Germany, United States, and others), there are specific legal vehicles for non-profit cooperation associations that enable collaborative structures.

Cooperation without hierarchy: Some missions focus on creating a new reality that works for everyone through cooperation, without bosses and managers giving orders—true collaboration requires shared decision-making.

Examples and Case Studies

Yeah, as all you said in Germany for example, it's there is a specific vehicle for non-profit cooperation association whatever you just go to the node we're saying I'm starting on profit or the same in the United States and many other countries

Best Practices

• And for us that's a form of regenerative collaboration
• That's not a regenerative collaboration
• Once you have that kind of understood, it's really important to understand that this only works with cooperation
• And what you also say that if we sort of shift towards collaboration and a better life balance, that is a hunger for a bigger tourism might become smaller
