Basecamp is the vital social habitat in which we rescue and cultivate a stronger 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 purpose is to:

1. Create the missing space,
2. In which people form the missing understandings of self and society, and
3. Discover missing pathways to long-term flourishing together.

Basecamp's strategy, in brief, is to:

• Convene, and enable others to convene, in-person Basecamps around the world, to complement Basecamp's permanent online space and grow the global member network
  • Basecamps to-date: Toronto (2018), London (2019)

• Attract "social experiments" to Basecamp, then accelerate and help spread whichever social experiments prove most effective at restoring social habitat.

• A few of the first social experiments include: Scouting Parties, The Artist@Work, The Questions That Matter Most, The Pause Project, The Map Room (see separate Reflection Paper for details)

• Support every social experiment to publish Discoveries to Basecamp's public knowledge platform, and create public interest and conversations around those Discoveries.

• Early publications include:
  1. How can we tackle global challenges without global governance?
  2. How can we trigger a pandemic of health and well-being?
  3. How can we reclaim "intelligence" for humanity, amidst the race to make it artificial?

• Encourage would-be "pathfinders" to turn Discoveries into Expeditions (i.e., exploratory projects), and help them to outfit Expeditions with the necessary elements and support. Expeditions demonstrate new pathways and open them up so that wider society can walk them.

• A few of the first Expeditions include: An Artist At Every Table, A Pandemic Of Health, Purposing Public Schools, Machine Learning for Women in Education (see attached for details)
