Description

In an increasingly complex world, the ability to build bridges and make connections, as well as to be in touch with oneself and nature, is essential. We inbetweeners are individuals who navigate between different cultures, disciplines, or perspectives, acting as process facilitators and guides. This is crucial in the 21st century, as inbetweenness helps us foster a sense of belonging.

Inbetweenness is not just an attitude but also a strategic tool. It encourages companies and foundations to appreciate and integrate diversity by incorporating different voices and viewpoints (including those of nature) into decision-making processes. Through this openness, we not only create innovative solutions but also strengthen the sense of community.

Let us build bridges together that create connections and foster an environment where every individual is heard and valued—and where the economic world is regenerative. In a world that is often polarized, the ability to listen and understand is the key to sustainable success.
