Collaboration and Partnership are key principles and practices for transformative change and whole-system evolution and development. Unless people, organizations and networks learn how to share, exchange and work together sustainably, humankind will never be able to transcend our global challenges and actualize our full potential. The key is embracing our mutuality, interconnectedness and deep interdependence.
One Island Institute models, applies and demonstrates these principles and practices in all its services and initiatives. It is the foundation for our work and what we are here to support the full application of in our World.
