Basecamp is a space in which we rescue and grow the capacity to be, think and act social.

At Basecamp, people who would never meet mingle often; private concerns become public issues; decisions and their consequences learn from one another; instead of asserting my truth, we search for stronger truths together; and responses rise to whatever level of complexity is necessary.

Basecamp's story is that together we create:

1. A space that's missing, where
2. Missing understandings of self and society can emerge, and where
3. We can discover missing pathways to a better world.

Basecamp's strategy is to:

• Convene, and enable others to convene, Basecamps around the world (This is the starting point, and the main focus to-date)
• Help basecampers to launch "social experiments" at Basecamp, that aim to explore some aspect of what it might mean to be, think and act more social (This is now getting started)
• Support thriving social experiments to accelerate and spread beyond Basecamp's boundaries (The intention is to start this soon)

Basecamp's structure is founded on principles of emergence and permanence:

• The organizational and action structures of Basecamp aim to help people to self-organize, experiment and play, within the boundaries of the Three Rules of Basecamp.
• The governance structures of Basecamp aim to perpetually protect the space we co-create as our collective gift to humanity.
