The roots of this project go back to the Community Canvas, a community-building framework co-created by Fabian Pfortmüller, Sascha Mombartz and Nico Luchsinger. We were inspired by the Canvas and wanted to develop a next version. Over the years we were in dialogue with 100+ community weavers, mapped shared challenges, hosted learning journeys, had conversation with Elders and explored different ways of knowing such as Ancestral and Indigenous wisdom. And gradually, through these explorations, the Community Weaving Framework emerged.
For us the framework is an ongoing conversation to create a living practice of community weaving. Our intention is to continuously evolve it by learning how people work with it, extend it, bend it and improve it. We also sense that there are many sources of community wisdom to re-discover, including indigenous and ancestral knowledge, and we hope to bring them into this craft.
There is so much to learn and re-discover. And we invite you to come and learn with us**.** If you’re interested in practicing together, here are some ways to get involved:
