COMMUNITY #15 - EYN

This is a manifesto:

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
IS HERE

Unfortunately modern life has become more complicated that it ought to be. Deciding upon a definitive list of things in life one should seek in order to have ‘Everything You Need’ is a complicated process. As far as I’ve managed to figure out, everything was never intended to be this way.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t think we can try pretty hard to make the most of it.

At Everything You Need, we will help you to help yourself. We will provide support, encouragement, resources and organisation so that you can do that more effectively. We will build up a community of like-minded individuals who will participate in and contribute ideas towards various activities. These activities will help us all to find out exactly what we need in life and exactly how to get it.

I hypothesise that this is necessary. That this is what we need. By which I am predominantly referring to this community and this organisation. However, I ultimately hope to prove the necessity of this education, this development, this ethos and this awareness.

Of course we don’t exactly understand what it is that everyone needs. Our primary objective is to build a community of people who care. People who would like to make effort to move in the right directions. People who want what they need. We are currently organising a book club and a football group. We also run a monthly clubnight that will eventually be a regular celebration of the progress we make in each of the groups. We have plans and ideas for many more clubs and groups which will become a reality once we have plenty of interest and support. 

Our next and possibly most important project is to start a discussion/conversation group. We will invite community members to discuss a certain statement regarding a certain aspect of human needs and well-being. We hope to keep documentation of our activities, experiences and development so that at some point we can begin to produce various creative media, performance and communication raising awareness of our findings and ideas. In such cases we will endeavor to exhibit work around the city and consider innovative ways to deliver our productions to a wide and varied audience.
