A crash course in changing the world.
Game 1: evoke power: SPARK
I like to tell you about spark: a man: Alfredo Olivera, his team: patients of a psychiatric public hospital and his project: a radio station.
While Alfredo was studying psychology at Buenos Aires Health University (Argentina, Southamerica) he realized that mental illness was much more a social problem than a medical one. He thought that a radio station could be the key to remove physical limits as hospitals wars, and social prejudice about crazy people.
He started with a tape recorder, sat in the garden of the psychiatric hospital and asked patients to tell him about life.
In 1991, with another nine people, he created the radio station "La Colifata" issued from the hospital to build bridges with society and vice versa and help social rehab. In the last 8 years 35% of in-patients became full out-patients.
La Colifata's Project is a therapeutic tool of worldwide recognition replicated in several countries Germany, Spain, Italy, France,Uruguay and Chile.
Alfredo remeber us:..."we don't heal this patients, we only help them to focus in their mental health"

Se inauguró Radio Citron! - Radio Colifata en Paris
El dia 26 de Enero de 2010 fue la inauguración oficial de "Radio Citron", una experiencia francesa que nació desde la Asoc. Elan Retrouvé, inspirada en La Colifata.
La Asoc. Elan Retrouvé es una entidad que nació en 1948 en Francia, fruto de la post guerra. Brinda servicios y asistencia en salud Merntal y es considerada pionera en toda Francia en la línea de la Psiquiatría denominada "del Sector".
Posee varios hospitales de día, tres Servicios de acompañamiento a la vida Social de los pacientes ( SAVS) y varios centros de ayuda para el trabajo diseminados por todo París.
Durante el año 2008 el Lic. Alfredo Olivera y parte del equipo de profesionales de La Colifata viajaron a Paris, contratados por esta asociación para capacitar a los profesionales que intervendrían en el proyecto y acompañar el proceso de lanzamiento de la radio. Le damos la bienvenida a este nuevo emprendimiento. image

Fighting disease by promoting ease: this is definitely cool. Thanks for sharing this knowledge (gave you my award).
I think that such professionals, adopting this approach for mental diseases, can show us how important is to consider people as complex living systems, actually going beyond the common, simplistic and mechanistic interpretations.

How can we take this concept and apply it to potential food riots and anxiety in future world food shortages?

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
