Hi everyone,
We wanted to share a quick recap from today's call recent with community member , who told the story of how she & her team implemented the IDGs into the core of the Adelaide Climate Action Week. Here are the key highlights we captured:
🎯 Vision & Why: Inner Development as the Engine for Systems Change:
- The Backstory: After seeking tools for deep systems transformation post-COVID, Wendy identified the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) as a vital framework for organizational mindset growth and collective capacity.
🏛️ ACAW Execution & Year-Round Engagement: Embedding IDGs into Public Action:
- Public IDG Prototype: Adelaide Climate Action Week served as a prototype for connecting IDGs with public climate action, structured around three core pillars: Connect, Reflect, and Commit.
- Global & Local IDG Programming: The event featured IDG Global keynote videos from Eric Fernholm and Frederick Lindenkroner, alongside Wendy’s hands-on Catalyst Lounge—a dedicated IDG experience hosted as part of the week's activities.
- The "Lymphatic System" Model: integrated throughout the event and to prevent momentum from fading after the event ends, Wendy & team designed an infrastructure for continuous year-round engagement, moving beyond one-off annual gatherings.
- Interactive App & Community Voting: ACAW piloted a custom app with a reward token mechanism where participants earn tokens through active engagement and vote on local community climate projects, testing new ways to track social impact and build team trust.
The replay is available to community members over here. Thanks for sharing your journey and taking action! ***
💬 Who else should we spotlight?
