Shift

By Jonas Gröner

Being able to shift the paradigm on which a system is built or out of which it emerges, is the most powerful way to change it (See “Leverage Points: Places to intervene in a system” – Donella Meadows, 1990). The purpose of this podcast is to make transparent the ways activists, changemakers and community-builders around the world are shifting from paradigms of individualism, competitiveness, domination and control, to ones of connection, compassion, courage and trust. Shift tries to name the principles and paradigms that we need to transform the world into one where everyone can thrive.

#8 [german] - Transformative Gerechtigkeit mit Sven und Kathi vom Kollektiv Radix

#8 [german] - Transformative Gerechtigkeit mit Sven und Kathi vom Kollektiv Radix

Content Notification: Es geht in dieser Folge unter anderem um den Umgang mit Gewalt

Kathi und Sven vom Kollektiv Radix führen uns in dieser Ausgabe von Shift in das Thema Transformative Gerechtigkeit ein. Sie berichten uns davon, was falsch ist mit dem „klassischen Justizsystem“, warum es für von Gewalt betroffene Menschen oft keine Option ist sich an die Polizei zu wenden, welchen Prinzipien transformative Gerechtigkeit folgt, was kollektive Verantwortungsübernahme bedeutet, welche Bedingungen in einer Gruppe dazu beitragen, das Transformative Gerechtigkeit funktionieren kann, wie ein transformativer gerechtigkeits-Prozess ausehen kann, worauf dabei zu achten ist um die Bedürfnisse aller beteiligten am Schirm zu haben, wie Gruppen anfangen können mit transformativer Gerechtigkeit zu experimentieren und warum es sinnvoll ist sich mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen, bevor es zu ernsten Fällen von Gewalt kommt. In dieser Ausgabe von Shift wurde ein Haufen wertvoller Ressourcen genannt, ich lege euch stark ans Herz diese mal durchzuschauen. Das Thema transformative Gerechtigkeit ist super spannend aber auch viel zu groß um es in etwas über einer Stunde umfassend zu besprechen. Diese Folge ist also eher ein Überblick über das Thema.

#5 [english] - Shifting Collaborative Culture in Community with Pascal Hazeleger

#5 [english] - Shifting Collaborative Culture in Community with Pascal Hazeleger

In this episode, I have the absolute privilege of talking to Pascal Hazeleger. He works on solving complex problems through developing networked organizations. He is involved with the blue neighborhood economy foundation in Spijkerkwartier in Arnhem/Netherlands. The foundation is running a community center and many different projects in the neighborhood. About 10% of people in the neighborhood are actively involved in one of those projects.

Pascal and I talk about why this community is so valuable to the people participating, how it is set up structurally, what challenges they are encountering with regards to organizational culture and bringing their collective vision into reality and how they are going about mastering those challenges.

This is the first episode of shift, which is also on video. If you prefer seeing our faces and not only listening, you can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-LH1C_u4us
