64 Initiators Design Team Weaving for a Thriving Planet is set up as a collective initiative, rather than a traditional program. We co-create the Theory of Change, the activities and desired outcomes together with all Ashoka Fellows and partners. We have put a Design Team in place that is developing the framework for this initiative. The Design Team members are Ignace Schops (Ashoka Fellow, founder Hoge Kempen National Park & President Europarc Federation), Geert van de Veer (Ashoka Fellow, Founder Herenboeren & Co-founder Aardpeer), Karin Müller (Ashoka program manager) and Noa Lodeizen (Ashoka Fellow, Ashoka director & Co-founder Weaving Lab). Ashoka Weaving for a Thriving Planet is led by Ashoka Netherlands and is a collaboration with multiple teams from Ashoka around the world. We collaborate with Next Now, a network of leads social change in 4 interconnected areas that are essential to create a thriving world for all: aging, gender, planet & climate and tech & humanity. Weaving for a Thriving Planet is alo part of the Ashoka Europe Fellowship Program; the unique space where the Ashoka community of leading changemakers in Europe comes together to co-learn to increase their social impact and co-create systemic solution. And finally, we work with other teams like Ashoka Switzerland to identify new partners to join our initative. The Weaving Lab The Weaving Lab is supporting the design & facilitation to weave towards collective impact. It envisions a world in which every neighborhood, network and organization is woven into a thriving learning ecosystem where everyone is living for universal wellbeing (of self, society and nature). The Weaving Lab is growing the field of weaving – deepening its practice, advancing research, and strengthening the community of practitioners – so that together, we can create systems change that enable people and the planet to thrive. They do this by training leaders, cultivating research, building networks and advising organizations working to weave thriving communities. Noa Lodezein Karin Muller
