Escanda
SpainEnvironment
Escanda is an international collective, a space for the interaction and the cooperation between groups of people, networks and movements. It is a space for practicing and experimenting how to live together, without exchange relations and with horizontal structures. The common thread is non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist grassroots movements, with an emphasis on the environment. We are working towards the ecological and egalitarian production of the food and energy we consume. However, this is not a rejection of the modern technology that our collective human knowledge has produced.

ETC Foundation
NetherlandsResearch/Dev
For ETC modern international development cooperation means working in innovative ways on our themes in both the South and North. We work as equal international partners on local solutions. We put people's own culture, knowledge and learning first, so they can take responsibility for their own future We call this 'civic driven change'. ETC devotes about half of its resources to support change through capacity development in civil society, governmental institutions and the private sector. This way ETC is supporting a country's own development of food security, water and energy supply, health care and education. Partners are responsible for direct poverty alleviation. Our involvement in this is limited to projects aimed at innovation and learning. Capacity development and policy influencing often takes place within international collaborative networks, where all participants learn from each other's experiences.
Ethical Culture Fieldston School
United StatesChildren/Education
In 1878, Felix Adler, educator and social reformer, had a vision to provide students access to an education regardless of a family's income in an environment where they would be challenged to reach their highest potential in mind, body, and spirit. Over the years, ECF has evolved into a vibrant community of learners where teachers and students are not only exposed to a rich academic, arts, and athletics program, but also are asked to become well-versed in issues of social justice, to consider how they make ethical decisions, and to truly appreciate the differences of others. From the youngest students learning about respect and sharing to the oldest students grappling with their roles as leaders, all students are encouraged to think independently, to formulate their own questions, and to take risks in our vibrant and nurturing community.
