Dear all, I'm looking for a short (max. 3 min.) inspirational video in English or German on the IDGs or the importance of inner development in the context of sustainable development. I need it for a workshop on the topic of regeneration on Friday. Do you have an ideas? The official video on the IDG website is too long. Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Dear IDG colleagues, 'Guarded Support for Call for Global Action September 18, 2025' The note below is further to in depth discussions during a Sept 4 'Agora' meeting. We looked from various perspectives towards developing a more definitive response about these Palestinian NGO Network links: __________________ A worldwide Call for Action and Strike on Thursday September 18 2025 issued by the Palestinian NGO Network and endorsed by grassroots organizations representing millions of people around the world. https://en.pngoportal.org/post/3950/Palestinian-and-Global-Civil-Society-Call-for-a-Global-Day-of-Action-and-Strike-September-18th-2025 https://popularresistance.org/palestinian-and-global-civil-society-call-for-global-day-of-action-september-18/ Demand United Nations General Assembly Send Protective Force to Palestine and Unseat Israel. Organizing Zoom Webinar 10am Eastern Friday September 5: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xBVwDhTYSgKFQ0XHho9iWw#/registration__________________ __________________ Below is Neil's note September 6, 2025: Guarded Support for Call for Global Action September 18, 2025 With great reservations I’ve come to believe it may be best to support this international campaign directed at the UN General Assembly for UN intervention in the genocide. Or, at least, not oppose it outright. My big reservation, in short, is that such UN intervention would likely politicallysideline the Palestinian resistance. The resistance which has the support of the majority of Palestinians living in Palestine. The resistance is why the larger world is even talking about Palestine today. The resistance is why the ethnic cleansing of Gaza has not already been completed. The resistance which is today leveraging its remaining Israeli prisoners of war for the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners being held and tortured in Israeli prisons.

In many organizations, we still look at collaboration, learning and leadership as controlling practices. These hinder creativity and inclusion.

With the description and step-by-step guide to all 33 methods, the LS website has additional sources and links to LS communities of practice.

Change-makers hello! I am going to share a document that has some interesting ideas on how to bring the IDG framework to organizations. Personally, however, I assume that some of these skills are always at play when people act for sustainability, and that they interact differently in all of us. My research "pod" is about finding out which are most represented and which dimension has the most represented skills in people who embody sustainability through their lifestyles.

A colleague of mine recently attended the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA) World Congress in Brisbane where she heard Michael F. Steger propose three pillars for "Regenerative Positive Psychology" - moving the focus of pos psych from 'me' to 'we'. I was interested in the the three pillars and thought you might be too: Three Pillars of Regenerative Positive Psychology (1) Expand definitions of wellbeing. Wellbeing is understood not only as the thriving of the individual, but also as the health and growth in capacity of the systems that include the individual. (2) Build a science of wellbeing systems. It is vital to encourage and inspire the production of research, interventions, educational programs, and organizational approaches that explicitly address, at minimum, the environmental, social, and political systems that sustain a good life. (3) Generate knowledge of positive human caretaking. Priority is placed on research, education, and interventions that encourage and cultivate traits, attitudes, and behaviors that position individuals as positive caretakers and benefactors of mutual and collective wellbeing, as well as the systems that support that wellbeing.
