More than ever travelling and mobility are parts of our lives. A luxury life being possible because of the freedom of choosing where to go, when to and how to move. From cultural interests, business trips, products that reach us directly on our dining table to a weeklong art experience, we expect an experience, a will-do inspiring offering that is affordable, enjoyable, on-time and exciting. We expect a destination experience offered by the ecosystems around the world with an all-inclusive community-opens-up-its-assets-for-us attitude. We look here into physical mobility as first element of the resilience triangle.

A pandemic incident, like any other disastrous event abruptly ends our freedom of choosing. It rips off our safety shield. No one would have thought what it meant to be caught in a bubble of inactivity like what we experience throughout the Corona crisis. We never could have imagined what we will be missing. Zero safety shields turn the light on our vulnerability. They move us into the shadows. Into the shadows of streets, building corners, solitude, and nearly zero communication. Mental mobility is reduced to a minimum with least experience, positive momentums and brick walls become literally our mental walls. Mental mobility is the second element of regaining resilience.

We ask us what we might be missing if we did not have the means to afford mobility. We ask ourselves what it takes to turn back mobility into a substantial asset and public good for everyone – during and post the pandemic. Many words are spoken by governmental and economic stakeholders. First attempts are made to revitalize businesses through financial aid and funding programs. Second attempts looking into the digital world of mobility are hardly made. We find individual mobility moves throughout video call and conferences. Cargo wise we miss the element of digital supply chains and modular production and supply. Digital mobility complements physical and mental mobility as third element of the triangle.

Leveraging physical, mental, and digital mobility, any ecosystem being large city, municipality, or community is being confronted with the transformation of turning elements into assets, and assets into offerings. More than ever, is resilience re-build a cross-sectoral, public, private, and shared effort.

We live in dynamic times where information and digital technologies are rapidly changing the way we do day to day tasks and activities. The basis and backbone of the change is the evolution of technology from physical to digital.

How will ecosystems climb back the ladder to reach back their resilience equilibrium? Travel, transport, communication, migration have always been integral part of people’s lives, and we are grouping all these aspects under the definition of an affordable and consumable mobility, regardless of budget, handicap, age, and geography. Industry, innovation, and technology are all changing, and also evolving inter-dependently. This is all happening under the umbrella of our structural ecosystems, the villages and cities, the communities and municipalities. But they are at risk. Take the tourism sector: the drama is not a tourist industry restricted drama due to the lockdown and pandemic impact cycles! The drama started already putting entire villages and regions at the border of existence. What does it take to turn these ecosystems into self-sustaining ecosystems with their own contextual safety shields?

Self-sustaining ecosystems will demonstrate re-invention and the new normal of innovation, which concludes in a novel manner how constituents, visitors, guests, and natural resources interact more meaningful and heads up. Our understanding of mobility means, intermodal, smart and sustainable mobility will expand massively way beyond the physical hybrid car, the self-driving autonomous people mover, the industrial cycle of reproduction and circular supply chain.

We are facing in our communities an increasing number of homelessness due to several reasons. In our daily rush we overlook those that are stuck. The longer it takes to get back into the working and moving society, the harder it gets to break the boundaries and morph limits into chances. With respect to health and social infrastructure – we are created to move and spend energy. Hunting for food is still a “habit” for homeless people and the ones lose their home due to private debt and businesses running out of customers onsite. Now we are experiencing de-mobility – food comes to us with a phone call or a mouse click. Instead of healthy moves, we wait to be served. What is the use of technology anyhow? Are we really turning solutions and cloud services up to the point of rebuilding resilience? How will cities reshape their resilience streams – digitally, physically and mentally?

We hereby dedicate an initiative called #mobilitymovesminds short #mmm to the efforts of rebuilding resilience on personal and organizational level. We will be leveraging the human voices of the street, analyzing ecosystems and the systems of collaborative social responsibility, resilience design and execution. Furthermore we focus on identifying resilience patterns that can be leveraged by any community being big or small, by any stakeholder being private or public sector, to ultimately end corner-stone living on the streets and end poverty.

Our #mobilitymovesminds initiative results covers in a printable and digital book and website format covering the following:

• Voices of the street, governmental and private institutions

• Research on mobility and further elements of employed and unemployed individuals

• Analysis of mobility involved patterns that stimulate people to move on, investigating the role of mobility and its influence, roadblock and effort

• Requirements analysis to designing new businesses in collaboration with homeless people

• Designing a social business framework

• Publishing and disseminating the results including field runs and social business model framework in print and podcast formats

We ask for your support to make the #mobilitymovesminds happening and giving back a resilience patterned framework to the suffering ecosystems of the globe.

We are estimating a 15.000 € effort to write, design, publish and make mobility moves minds come true. Barbara will be herein opening work opportunities for homeless peers of #HomelessEntrepreneur. Furthermore, throughout the process of #mobilitymovesminds Barbara will be launching this resilience framework to steer the process of rebuilding resilience in communities. This results in publication formats book, podcast, and transcripts. The costs we need to cover the core part of our efforts are €15.000.

With your donation starting of €50 your personal story will be covered. Barbara will interview you and let you speak up.

With your donation starting of €420 you and your local ecosystem, being city or village, will be included in our analysis, finding entry in social business framework and ultimately being covered among a total of 20 ecosystem stories in the book.

Turn the light on for you and your community, being a village or city.
