The role of communities in implementing Shared Economy and its co-benefits
Featuring Ludovic Kasperski, who shares his experience with community living. As an inspired sustainability intrapreneur and engaged volunteer in environmental education, he uses community living as a main mitigation measure for Climate Change, whilst benefitting from human-regenerating living conditions.
Out of integrity and a desire to act, Ludovic up-skilled in environmental issues with the aim of disseminating the scientific knowledge of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and IPBES. To spread this science, he uses tools based on collective intelligence such as the Climate Fresk. He also makes use of transformative learning to activate and empower people at their individual level and in their organisation in order to accelerate the transition toward a sustainable and desirable world where Nature is at the center.
Sustainable food from small farmers directly ordered by a community of consumers – an empowering way that generates benefit for all and can be expanded
Featuring Sunita Wälti, who joined Crowd Container as their Brand Ambassador. Crowd Container has organized collective food orders directly from the producers since 2016. An example of how community promotes dialogue between consumers and producers and drives change in the food system by supporting innovative projects.
Sunita will share with us the case of Crowd Container. From the simple idea of selling a container of food directly to consumers, an association was founded, becoming now an AG company, showcasing the power of community and how prosperity can come from it. Crowd Container operates in the Swiss market and with producing partners in Kerala, Sicily, Peru, Andalusia and Switzerland. A model that could be replicated anywhere.

The motivation behind the event
A Celebration of European and Brazilian Regeneration & Community Power
Regenerative Living is an event that aims to create support and awareness concerning the challenges of protecting what is left of the Atlantic Rainforests in Brazil and other natural ecosystems in Europe, and the role of communities as a leading power of regenerative change.
The event puts a spotlight on the Brazilian Case illustrated by the example of Terra Luminous Institute and on other experiences of regenerative environmental practices, farming and community living both in Europe and in Brazil. A special highlight is given to renewable energy generated by and for communities in Europe.
UNESCO declared the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest as Biosphere Reserve and Humanity Heritage as it is one of the hotspots for biodiversity in the world, and it needs strategies and network support. The remaining 10% of rainforest territory urges to be protected and regenerated.
Meanwhile, communities and individuals organise for sustainable and regenerative farming, around renewable energy generation, and start enterprises such as Ecovillages that are now spreading around Europe and the Americas. These initiatives develop creative ways to generate awareness and support for the causes of biodiversity, regeneration, climate change and community power.
