Stichting Chaordica

About Stichting Chaordica

Chaordica is a platform that initiates events and projects to address social justice and structural exclusion. We do so by facilitating dynamic space-creation; spaces where everyone involved feels encouraged to contribute, shape and speak up.

We organise meetings, events, seminars, workshops, performances and courses that connect different initiatives and gather diverse people together around various social, cultural and political topics with contemporary relevance.

The themes we explore relate to: Social justice; social inclusion; economic & environmental sustainability; degrowth; cultural expression; political practice; activism; gender & sexuality; social innovation & transformation ; active citizenship; empowerment; creativity

The methods we use include: Cooperative games & interactive workshops; nonformal learning techniques; cultivating cultures of care and inclusion; developing skills that promote non-violent communication and interpersonal dialogue.

Through an engagement with these topics we aim to encourage the practice of (more) sustainable forms of active citizenship.

Our ambition is to facilitate creative laboratories; inspiring participants to empower themselves and others, to organise, learn, exchange, create and grow. Ad hoc, we aim to create bubbles of belonging where the status quo can be rethought, transformed and reinvented (i.e. microrevolutions!). Accumulated, our work can be framed in the long-run as facilitating ‘sustainable citizenship’. This means that we simultaneously attempt to expand the concept ‘sustainability’ beyond environmental concerns to include socio-political considerations such as economic viability, intergenerationality and social equity; while also practicing that we – as active ‘citizens’ – can take responsibility for ensuring safe, just and sustainable environments in which we can thrive and co-exist together.
