We want to help to prepare future Sustainability Leaders, Thinkers, Innovators, Coordinators, Educators - ChangeMakers SenseTribe Consulting Mission: We bring together multidisciplinary teams(always including youth) to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and nurture collective wellbeing. SenseTribe Manifesto: Collective wellbeing: We believe that wellbeing can only be achieved by supporting individuals with collective efforts and with an ecosystem that supports long-term change. We try our best to support each other to make this change happen. Research & practice: We contribute to closing the gap between science and practice, by being active in both areas. Participation: Our working structure is horizontal and we make decisions together in a participatory manner. We apply participatory leadership practice, Sociocracy 3.0 and other methods to live up to this approach. Work-life balance: We think work is an important part of life but there is more to life than work so we encourage each tribe member to find a healthy balance. Reinvesting profit: The profit we generate is reinvested at individual, collective and ecosystem level. Gender equality: We boost equality by launching a social business with predominantly female leadership, keeping in mind the need for balance and diversity. Coherence: An organisation is a living organism with constant evolution. We look for projects that are aligned with our values and constantly improve the way we live up to them, individually, as a tribe and in the ecosystems we are part of. Challenge = opportunity: For us there are no mistakes, there are challenges in life that bring opportunities to learn, grow and gain a new perspective. We use SCRUM and other methodologies to help us live up to this approach. Youth and learning: We recognize that a future generation will deal with Sustainability Challenges and we believe that it is a future generation that will find the solutions to them! We want to help to prepare future Sustainability Leaders, Thinkers, Innovators, Coordinators, Educators - ChangeMakers!
