Andrea Mendez-Brandam
is a veteran pioneer in positive change media. Her local and online distributed Noticias Positivas Radio Argentina shows for community radios are reaching 3 million people every month. And that’s not only normal green collars, but also the “poor”. No one’s achieved this before. She’s also driven an 8-page positive news special in the nation’s biggest newspaper. Changemakers thinking about getting good examples “out to the masses” – catch up with Andi! |

Bieke van Dijk
is a former kaospilot, active in change facilitation processes, exploring the development of learning organisations and future@school programs. We have been working with Bieke on several groovy occasions and events, and can only say – this is the kind of woman you wish to plan, orchestrate and moderate your events, workshops and Learning Journeys! |

Heiner Benking
A former engineer and state planner with UNEP, Heiner early found himself among leading movers for sustainable development, and has since been surfing the tidal waves of virtually every discipline. Since he is looking at the “very big and deep picture” of a paradigm shift to a sustainable civilisation, we could also call him a mental architect working on 9-dimensional models. Scholars, fasten seat belts and prepare for a lifelong ride in the Benking Universe. If he was a Marvel Hero, he would be the In-betweener. |

Helmut BurkhardtFounding President of the Council on Global Issues, a driver of Evolution of World Order Conferences (‘order’ in terms of holistic balance, not fragmented chaos or control) and Science for Peace, Helmut is a wise consultant on everything large scale and (too) big numbers (for most of us to grasp). His paper on Physical Limits to large Scale Global Biomass Generation for replacing Fossil Fuels is one of many clear and concise deconstructions of faked and hyped “solutions”. Including those numbers no one dares even mention – like population! |

Simon Ulvund
Another former Kaospilot, Simon is a sought after hub manager and innovator in interconnecting people, groups, purposes and actions. A master in the Art of Hosting, Simon is another one of those guys you wish to have aboard when planning un-conferences, social entrepreneur gatherings and of course – launching hubs. |

Tubulls Chaliha
‘A Savage’ grown up in forests, kickstarter of the 60s movement, intertribal diplomat, explorer, cross-displinary scholar, father and grandfather,… Tubulls has lived many lives – with abrupt Siddartha-like shifts from his own private jet to back to a split front window VW van and street music. A master of both circular and the linear world, he has mentored students travelling at his side for fourty years, giving them a window seat view on Spaceship Earth, high above, with clear views on the masterplan of the Labyrinth of Un-sustainability… and the Alternative! |
