DAOs should aim for local actions and reconnect citizens with nature, the city, and with their neighbors, say Xavier and Leen from DAO Brussels and All for Climate.
In this episode, they talk with Peth about the ability of DAOs to have their own economies and to reward people for community work.
Some of the topics are:
Localism: starting the system’s change in front of your doorstep
Community-owned economies
Permissionless experimentation
The concepts of liberating structures and artful participation
Reasons to look more towards the east and less towards the west
Active citizenship
Xavier is originally from Belgium and lived in San Fransisco for ten years, working on a start-up. He and Leen met in Brussels, and together, they want to contribute to solving the climate emergency. With DAO Brussels, they create an inclusive space to experiment with new coordination and build bridges between the crypto community and local citizens.
They say “doing is the new thinking,” and only experimenting can navigate us through the chaos we live in. However, speed is useless if you go in the wrong direction. "The fastest way to accelerate a systems change is to actually slow down and take a minute: Why are we working together? What is our goal? What is around us? What is right now right here needed to make a tiny change today?"
