WiserEarth 是什么?
在这里,你会找到:
WiserEarth 目录
这是世界上最大的一个关于国际范围内非政府性公益组织的目录,它收录了来自243个国家地区的11万个组织。
这是NGO的在线讨论空间,他们可以通过小组发起讨论话题,发布和共享资源,并且可以通过小组建立合作机制,来完成一些项目。
这是一个相当活跃的社区,有3万多的社区成员在此建立联系、共享资源、解决方案、职位信息以及活动资讯。
为什么我们需要 WiserEarth?
这个世界上,有超过100万个民间组织以及数以千万计的人在积极的行动,为了构建一个生态可持续发展、经济公义、人权得到保障、政府治理合法化以及和平共荣的社会而努力,而所有的这些议题从系统的层面来看待的话,实际上是紧密联系并相互作用的。
但是,我们的此类行动通常因为缺乏集体认知、重复的行动以及缺乏联系而显得效率低下,也不能很好的防止伤害的发生,或者是组织一些可以带来积极改变的行动。
于是,我们需要一副宏观的地图以及一个相应的目录,来告诉人们那些可以促进合作与沟通的资源在哪里。一言以概之,就是需要一个基础框架,通过这一框架,我们可以更好的协调我们的行动。WiserEarth 所提供的正是这样一个框架。它提供了一种可以让我们更好的相互联系,更好的开展合作的途径。
您可以在WiserEarth 上面做些什么?
1、寻找散布于世界各地的致力于社会正义以及环保事业的个人以及组织
2、跟这些个人和组织取得联系,分享你们的做法以及在共同关心的议题上的关系网络
3、您可以在WiserEarth上面给您的组织进行宣传,赢得别人的支持
4、您可以在这里创建关于某一议题的行动小组
5、给WiserEarth提供捐助
6、其他参与其间的方法。
历史
WiserEarth 是一个由自然资本机构(NCI)提供资钱支持的项目,而自然资本机构则是一个致力于恢复地球生态,疗救人类文化的组织。
WiserEarth的愿景源于NCI之执行主任Paul Hawken为写作 《看不见的力量:世界最大的民间运动是如何产生的以及为何没有人注意到这一点》一书而做的调查。
”这一为了环境以及社会正义的运动正在全球范围内卷起,假如我们能够充分的理解其内在联系,并且以可视化的方式将其展现出来,我们将看到史上最大规模的运动的全景。WiserEarth正是帮助身处运动当中的人看到运动本身。“
WiserEarth 于2007年4月22日(地球日)上线。首期资金帮助WiserEarth 建立了一个软件平台,建设了种子内容,为往后与合作伙伴和社区成员的会晤交流打下扎实基础。
2008年春季,WiserEarth 走向开源,也就是说,整个网站的源码都公诸于世。其他的项目亦可在WiserPlatform的代码基础上建立一个符合自身需要的网站,而无需依靠NCI的资助。
自从源码发布之后,WiserEarth 网站的功能以及工具箱都随着用户的增长而同步增长。一开始的时候,WiserEarth 仅仅是一个目录,现今的WiserEarth 则提供了社会化网络以及协同工作的一些工具,帮助志同道合的朋友围绕某个议题开展工作。我们希望您可以阅读WiserEarth的一些原则。
WiserEarth 将处于不断的进化当中。我们希望WiserEarth的社区成员可以捐献他们的时间以及知识,扩展这一网站,使之成为一个全球共享的资源库。从现在开始,历史将由我们所有人——WiserEarth所有社区成员——共同撰写。
