....From LUGAR Project Part 1
Moving Forward
Now we move forward. Through
its practice, EnPraxis has advocated a participatory and collaborative approach
in Environmental Planning as a way to ‘actualize’ lessons from Forum 1 and actual experiences in various planning projects. With the lessons from actual practice,
EnPraxis explores possibilities of linking Social Entrepreneurship to
Environmental Planning- thru LUGAR
Social Enterprise.
What is LUGAR?
LUGAR (Land Use and Green Advocacy Revolution) Project is a
start-up Social Enterprise initiated by EnPraxis with the purpose of responding
to the social and environmental issues by creating a platform for collaboration
between planners, social entrepreneurs and stakeholders to come together and
create viable and sustainable partnerships.
1. Platform for Planning Collaboration
The concept for LUGAR is inspired from the "Charrette", which refers to any collaborative
session in which a group of designers, in this case the community, drafts a
solution to a design problem, in this case social issues and problems. The aim of LUGAR is to bring together innovators in
a”Charrette”-inspired environment.
2. EcoPreneur Incubator
An EcoPreneur is a non-traditional capitalist that values
social, environmental, as well as economic aspects in the holistic development
process; a leader, innovator, advocate, entrepreneur and above all,
conscientious and responsible vanguard of the principles of Sustainable
Development. LUGAR aims to be a training ground, 'school' and learning venue thru a mentor-apprentice collaboration and sharing environment.
3. Showcase of Green Products and Technologies
LUGAR is a platform to showcase ingenuity and innovation in creating green products and technologies and link to the market, while at the same time providing communities, individuals and groups additional means of income by engaging in marketing and selling of these products and technologies.
Vision for LUGAR
2020 (Global) EcoPreneurs by 2020
...and to be able to replicate in different countries, different culture around the world.
