An explanation that begins with humans
When we hear the word "infrastructure," we think of tangible things: the roads that connect us, the power lines that light our homes, and the data cables that connect us to the world. This is the basic infrastructure, the technical skeleton of our society. It's essential. But it's only half the story.
There's a second, invisible layer: the social infrastructure. The network of trust and relationships that exists within a company (the "corporate infrastructure") or an entire city. It determines whether we feel safe and connected. This infrastructure isn't made of concrete, but of encounters.
The strongest bridge is useless if no one is willing to cross it to reach out to someone else. The development of the infrastructure of the future must start with people .
A tool for the most important construction site of our time
This social infrastructure is at risk. Chronic loneliness is now as harmful as smoking daily. We spend hours in front of screens and are losing the ability to interact spontaneously. To counteract this trend, we at the Museum of Values have developed Action Cards . They are a playful tool for actively strengthening the social infrastructure around you.
Building blocks for a strong social network:
- Strengthening the basic infrastructure: Each card is an incentive to engage in real contact with your environment and the people in it.
- Revitalize company infrastructure: These initiatives are also perfect for fostering connection and trust within the team on a small scale.
- Sustainable development: A strong social network is the basis for a resilient and livable society.
The architecture of the community
In his groundbreaking book "Palaces for the People," sociologist Eric Klinenberg describes how these shared spaces and the interactions within them are the foundation of every strong society. This idea of creating spaces for human development is also embodied by our partners at The Art of Embodying Change GmbH , who are experts in making change tangible.
Are you ready to help build the most important network of the future?
