A global ecosystem of Virtual Community Centers that constitute a Global Citizen Movement aiming to bring humanity together in an effort to reestablish the health of the Earth's life-support system and to ensure a future of wellbeing for all human and non-human life on Earth.
We provide the online platform Place4Us, you establish your Virtual Community Center (VCC), and you organize, develop, and govern your VCC together with your community.
Join the global community of communities working to create the future we want on a healthy planet.
Connect with others to actually build this future we need.
Collaborate to understand the challenges we face and to bring large-scale actions needed to govern the risks.
As you develop your VCC, you connect with other VCCs, share resources, learn from each other, and plan joint activities.
With your VCC you contribute to progress towards the shared vision of all VCCs on Place4Us. Have a look at the VCC-Primer ...
In the Place4Us VCC, we work on the design and implement of the platform. Here we develop concept, discuss how to increase the participant base, where to get funding, and what guidelines there are for the use of Place4Us. Our aim is to ensure that Place4Us is a platform that facilitates and host a global ecosystem of Virtual Community Centers (VCCs). This platform is open to every activist group worldwide, provided only that the group shares our general ethos for justice, equity, tolerance, peace, love and reverence for nature.
Humanity needs a new story. Humans live by the stories they believe in. The stories modern societies enact are stories of hoarding so-called wealth, exploiting others, dominance of nature, and depleting and destroying the Earth's life-support system (ELSS) for individual benefits today. Most of these stories originate in the North Atlantic male-dominated culture of white people. We need a new ecosystem of stories that changes the way in which we are in this world and how we relate to the world and to each other. These new stories can hardly come from old white males. In this VCC, our diverse community is open to all ethnicities, genders, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and generations. We aim to write and enact the new stories that can transform the virus we currently are in the ELSS into the healer of both humanity and the ELSS.
The Sustainability and Conservation Leadership (SCL) Program of Old Dominion University was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It has been educating students since 2017. The VCC is a place for the alumni and current students of the program to interact and share experiences and resources. The VCC aims to increase awareness of the triple challenge of climate change, biodiversity and wildlife loss, and pollution and to develop feasible options to adapt to a changing world in support of thriving communities. The Community of Practice in the VCC seeks to establish a collaborative community of students of Old Dominion University and to create connections with stakeholders from local to global scales. The club focuses on the new leadership required to tackle the many challenges in safeguarding the Earth's life-support system.
We deliberate the need for responsible procreation and a new morality of procreation. We communicate the necessity of the transformation of the most invasive species that Homo sapiens has become into the healer of the Earth's life-support system on which the welfare of all life on Earth depends. We develop pathways to a new society that gives preference to the well-being of its members over the growth of human population and human wealth.
