Kollektiva’ s two-liner moto is “a non-profit organisation that works at the intersection of social innovation, culture and sustainable development to encourage positive transitions to more fair and viable futures.” Kollektiva is composed by 5 co-founders who believe that the transformative power of social innovation and culture can lead to more equitable, inclusive diverse and sustainable societies. All 5 members have extensive experience in the above fields and had collaborated multiple times prior to the founding of Kollektiva (November 2020). The projects assigned so far, since November 2020, its founding year, were chosen to serve its mission being to “stimulate progress in the fields of public policy making, cultural policy and community-building, to strengthen culture-driven local development and tackle societal challenges through cultural and creative practices.” Among the latest projects are SEED and Consolid8, co funded by the EU to support the integration between social innovation actors and traditional innovation ecosystems throughout Europe. The program carries out capacity-building programs in Romania, Italy, Greece, Ireland and Slovenia as an accelerator for ecosystem builders throughout Europe. Kollektiva is adopting the principles of diversity-equality-inclusion (DEI) as priorities for museums and cultural organisations to remain relevant and in contact with citizens and society.
