        Radical Participatory Design – by Coisas

        1ST PILAR

        The intelligence of the territory precedes any external intention.

        We do not “bring solutions.” We arrive to hear questions and build connections.

        Theory U – Otto Scharmer, MIT

        2ND PILAR

        A model for social transformation that begins with inner stillness. We adapt its flow of “letting go > presencing > letting come” through collective listening and reflection.
