The Community We DARE to Build

DARE Vanguard / IDEAS

Rethinking community, technology, individuality and collective change in a world that increasingly connects us without bringing us together.

Statement Summary

The Idea in Brief

  • Technology has connected people through ideas and screens, but connection does not always create the physical or mental presence that makes a community meaningful.
  • A strong community is participatory: its people actively shape it, create value within it, and help one another move toward the lives they want to build.
  • Community does not always require grand acts. Sometimes change begins with something internal - a shift in belief, perspective, confidence, or the courage to take a step.
  • DARE Vanguard believes personal growth and collective progress can reinforce one another: when individuals pursue their own goals with purpose, they can help move the wider world in a positive direction.
  • The community we imagine does not tell people who to become. It gives them the tools, encouragement and freedom to discover their own path.

Rethinking Community in the Digital Age

The idea of a community today has been bent due to technology. Unity in itself should entail a physical union amongst individuals. Something many ache for in this generation. Technology certainly has led this to another ideal - where we can unite according to ideas without physical presence, and at times, without mental presence either. For a community to be at maximal enjoyment to all, the people in the community must take part in creating change within it, and reshaping it.

A Community We Actively Create

A community where we are all hands-on, is one which can increase value for the rest of the community, and for ourselves. This does not mean doing things outside our day-to-day life to help this community… It could even mean a simple change of cognition - a mere shift of ideology. A change in belief where one begins to believe in themselves first. That may sound counterintuitive - but - what if the community itself pushed and embraced our way to do what we desire. Pushes us to dare take the steps we keep leaving behind. Helps us appreciate the moment, and ignites our desire to work on ourselves. A community that helps us visualize our own path not by telling or suggesting, rather, giving us the tools to dare find our path in the abyss we call existence.

Personal Abundance and Collective Change

Our vision of a community is one which embraces our personal abundance. A community which reminds us that ‘without much’ we are still a lot. Our ability to reshape the world - one sand grain at a time, independently, is the stepping stone for a larger change at a time, in a community with others that have that vision.

Everyone Driven To Their Person Goal At Once - Means Everyone Drives The World In A Positive Direction

Dare to Do Better Together

We may be seen as fools daring to do better when a majority of humanity is raised holding a grudge at one another. You may say we are dreamers, but we are not the only ones.

Who Creates Our Reality?

Existence in itself is a facade created by our own views of reality. Each has their own understanding. Knowing this, makes you almighty, as now you have the key to change reality in the palm of your hand. So will you dream of one reality or…
