About us

Established in 2017, the organization aims to foster social innovation across diverse dimensions, such as the co-creation of food system collaboration, transformative education and learning, and cultural diversity.
Guided by an awareness of human potential and creativity, it values empowering local cultures while integrating global perspectives, weaving together the historical and cultural roots of each community with the digital age in a thoughtful and nuanced way.

We work collaboratively with networks both domestic and international, across areas including:
