Hi everyone! I’m Marina, WEAll’s Culture and Policy Lead and I’m starting this thread to invite you all to discuss ideas, share initiatives and find ways to collaborate on all sorts of artistic and cultural initiatives that are trying to challenge our dominant economic narratives and inspire beautiful futures. Would love to hear from anyone already working on these initiatives or interested in joining forces. Axé!

Hi Marina,
We have launched in April The Sufficiency and Wellbeing Magazine at https://www.sufficiencywellbeing.com/ where we use a prosocial open peer review collaboration. We are artists, filmmakers, experts, economists, academics, practitioners, writers from many walks of life all writing about sufficiency and wellbeing from a degrowth-friendly angle. Recently we have opened invitations to people from the majority world to write with us in their own languages and on their own terms. We invite everyone to join our growing collective. We are approaching 8000 monthly views for our articles. This is great momentum to expand the plurality of voices.

Hi Marina 
!
I’m delighted to introduce Climate Calm - which helps changemakers navigate global crisis with greater personal resilience, and neuroscience informed practices - to access calm inspired solutions.
We’ve just published a free ebook
- Focus: Reclaiming Calm, Clarity and Impact!
Available for Instant download at Helen Draper- climate leader, author and advisor for a limited time.
In globally challenging times, Climate Calm™ is a breath of fresh air.
Because when we’re stuck in survival mode, we can’t see the bigger picture, let alone imagine or create a better one.
We can’t fight the bear and figure out how to save it at the same time.
We can save the world by first learning how to show up for ourselves.
Join our amazing community of readers 
. The movement is growing faster than I can keep up so I’d love to hear from others working on similar so that we can collaborate!

Hi Vlad. I took a look at the magazine and wondered if there is any room for fiction in it? I’ve written a couple of short stories set in a sufficiency-oriented future, but I see from the writer’s guidelines that any article must have references, so I deduce that you don’t want fiction. Is that right? Judy
Hi Judy, that’s true, we don’t publish fiction yet. But we do accept personal narratives without references. See the text by Akhil Puri as an example. All text would need to be under the 1200 words limit.
Subscribed a while back and an pleasantly surprised to see it promoted here. Love the publication, keep up the good work!

Hi Marina,
We never managed to meet up online and time flies. I hope to reconnect with you. I just joined the slack group and have written and up to date introduction.
All the best

Hi Sergio! Indeed - such a long time since I’ve heard from you! I hope the launch was a success. Let’s connect again, I’m available for a zoom chat. Please reach out by email to set up a call.
This is incredible, Vlad! I would love to share with LATAM contacts and work with folks here on joint submissions in Portuguese and Spanish. Is there any “about” or “blurb” about the magazine and submission process in a non-English language?
By working with indicators such as dropout rates, school performance, and access to opportunities, we craft stories that communicate inequalities in ways that are accessible, moving, and politically powerful. In this way, data becomes culture and collective memory, capable of engaging policymakers as well as civil society. I see here a fertile ground for collaboration: bringing together art, culture, and data to challenge the dominant economic imaginary and inspire futures where education and racial equity go hand in hand.
I’d love to connect our experiences and explore how the Black Education Map can contribute to this global movement.

Hi Marina
The guidelines are at the bottom of this page
They are only in English because all contributors are actually required to review articles from other contributors and our working collaboration language is English.
