“Being part of a movement is personal. It is also aspirational. To be part of the wellbeing movement for social change is rooted in the belief that challenges can be overcome; that innovation can create solutions, and that all social changemakers- no matter their background- can lead healthy, balanced lives. Above all, to play your part in catalyzing a culture of inner wellbeing is to be optimistic that change is possible.”

Read our 2022 report to find out how together, we’re transforming optimism into action.

Expanded our coalition of 400+ organizations who are together providing wellbeing support to hundreds of thousands of changemakers.

Developed new waves of activity with some of our community networks, like our university network – WISE, which has grown to 100 members globally.

Our first Wellbeing Summit for Social Change sparked a global network. It also defined our strategic framework for the next three and a half years.

After successful collaborations on the Think Tank, Georgetown. University joined us as a new Co-creator of the project.

We have continued to work on research that will position us to launch three reports in 2023: Intergenerational Trauma, Organizational Wellbeing, and Teacher Wellbeing.

We are developing an organizational framework that is emergent and co-creative, led by a newly formed leadership team.

Connect with FUNDACION MI SANGRE on Social Media :

Fundación Mi Sangre

Colombia.

Originally founded by singer-songwriter Juanes in 2006, Fundación Mi Sangre was elevated to global recognition through the innovation and systems change approach led by co-founder and current chairperson Catalina Cock Duque, a successful social entrepreneur and global weaver with more than 20 years of experience in development. Our youth empowerment ethos is driven by our belief in the inherent potential residing in Colombia’s young people to become agents of change. Fundación Mi Sangre believes that Colombia’s youth—when given the guidance and the tools—will be the champions who make our country more peaceful and equitable.

To that end, we facilitate systemic cultural change, activating the ecosystems surrounding youth and engaging them as the primary contributors to personal, community, and societal transformation. Our carefully crafted model harnesses arts and culture to develop life, leadership, and social entrepreneurship skills, equipping and mobilizing our participants as co-creators of transformative peace solutions. We engage all actors of the ecosystem, including schools, partner organizations, and communities, weaving them together to align visions, encourage collaboration, and empower the next generation to lead the construction of a peace culture. We listen to, convene, and activate the diverse stakeholders and voices in a given community, and enhance their potential to influence young people and change existing narratives through ongoing dialogue, training, and support. Acknowledging that inner well-being is essential to all of the work we do, transversal psychosocial support underpins our programs, available in both individual and group settings to highly vulnerable and at-risk youth and families in need of this foundation for peace-building.

Learning for Well-being Foundation

Washington,
United States.

CoCo Labs is a systems change organization, dedicated to advancing equitable wellbeing for collective thriving. We believe that everyone, no matter what their current reality, should have access to the tools and support needed to transcend their wellbeing limitations and reach their fullest potential.

Our main aim is to build a coalition of organizations and individuals engaged in shifting multiple systems toward wellbeing for all. In the same way that the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) economics demonstrates that by raising the income of the poorest, the greatest knock-on effect occurs towards a country’s economy, our theory of change includes the notion that by raising the quality of life experience of the most challenged, a country’s thriveability will increase exponentially.
We begin by working with systems leaders to support them in showing up as the best versions of themselves. Leaders that are able to hold multiple perspectives, see systems as living systems, and navigate complexity, are able to create the conditions for communities, at a global level, to thrive even in adverse conditions.

CoCo Labs is working towards the advancement of equitable wellbeing for collective thriving. Thriving goes beyond resilience and well-being to describe a state in which:

Everyone is powerful – systemic oppression is phased out
Radical “othering” is a thing of the past – cultural competence and integration of diverse ways of being and doing are the norms
Communities live in harmony with nature – supported by, and supporting, ecosystem services
Individual and collective healing and resilience – communities are able to navigate uncertainty and complexity better
Communities demonstrate greater psychosocial development – they are able to move beyond resilience towards thriving, including a greater sense of individual and collective agency

Learning for Well-being Foundation

Amsterdam,
Netherlands.

We are a private Dutch operating foundation, with Public Benefit status, founded in 2004. We run activities in Europe, Middle East, the United States, and Latin America. Our team is spread around the world and works remotely but closely. We are guided by our values of courage, love, and integrity.

We envision a world where every child and adult realises their unique potential throughout their life, in supportive and inclusive societies. Our work focuses on combining human and social development by cultivating the capacities of children—and adults who support them—so that together they contribute to a fairer and sustainable world while realising their unique potential.

We act as a catalyst through mutually reinforcing partnerships aimed at bringing the voice and actions of children more fully into creating well-being for themselves and their communities. We create and share knowledge about learning, well-being and participation, so we can use the evidence to advocate for systemic change, and build the capacities of children, adults and child-serving organisations in learning for well-being.
