Timeline & Milestones

Work in Progress

1) Research on technologies presently available to:

(a)  connect people, communities and organisations (imitating face-to-face communication)
(b)  encourage trust, friendship, converstaion and dialogue
(c)   promote learning and event/training management (of creativity, design and dialogue-process)
(d)  documentation and database construction
(e)  digital creative tools and multi-media representation
(f)   user friendly screen technologies 
(h) Other relevant areas which encourages ease in using the software

2) Research on technologies allowing development of a versatile and dynamic dialogue architecture promoting platform enabled and constraint by "variable" contributing to spiritually-engaged sustainability/sustainable futures  

3) Detailed case studies of spiritually-engaged sustainable designs (services, products, organisations, processes, institutions) from all over the world

Notes on the Software Platform Being Conceived

The platform of the web-based, open source software will:

• facilitate and manage a series of critical activities involving people, communities, experts from various fields, other platforms  and database of case studies (of sustainable initiatives involving services, products, processes and institutional designs) 
• be a dynamic, self-scalable tool to initiate, organise and manage dialogue with  concerns for spiritually-informed sustainable designs which will be  guided and enabled through seven critical themes (which the Centre is promoting)
• help conceive, negotiate, exchange and develop scenarios of spiritually-engaged sustainability/sustainable futures. 
• interact and collaborate with existing social networking platforms and creative digital tools to bring individuals, groups or communities together in trust and friendship to work towards common objectives and spiritually-engaged sustainable futures.
• develop and disseminate replicable and supportive methodologies to help scale up locally available and applicable resources and at the same time generate and/or collate databases on such resources (local knowledge and practices) by  learning  and researching on ongoing creative and sustainable initiatives around the globe
• organise various events, dialogue, conversations, unconference, formation courses on creativity, dialogue, design and deep meditation
• actively engage with international policy procedures and processes to promote local, regional and international dialogue for design of sustainable futures
