Create and grow a new societal model at the heart of the Living with Venice as a pilot city

What societal model?
Humanist and regenerative, whose main ally is the intelligence of the Living and its power, in order to bequeath a revitalized, abundant, sustainable and inclusive society to our children.

What is the Living?
It is everything that carries life, humans, animals, plants, minerals. It is an exceptional intelligence which has been developing for more than 4 billion years and which has already developed infinite strategies in all areas from which we should draw inspiration to resolve our planetary challenges and accelerate the current mutations.

Why Venice?
Because Venice has repeatedly been a pioneer in all areas (political, economic, artistic, etc.) and it carries innovation in its genes.
Because it is universal and therefore has the capacity to influence other cities around the world.
And finally, because it is built on water and water is the source of Life!

SUMus is a positive and cooperative citizen movement , a link between committed citizens, associations, businesses, finance, and administration who believe in a better future and who wish to contribute to its realization. Our actions revolve around 3 priorities:
– Humans : helping them grow in humanity, drawing inspiration from ancestral wisdom, putting more philosophy into their daily lives for better knowledge of themselves and the Universe to develop their full potential and their talents in order to enrich the community.
– the Earth : thanks to new agricultural methods inspired by living things, regenerate the quality of the soil and the nutritional quality of food for better health of the planet, farmers and consumers.
– Water : creating a new economic, academic and cultural ecosystem around aquatic intelligence through the science of life, biomimicry.

“ Never doubt that a small number of willing and thoughtful citizens can change the world; in fact, it always happens like this. » Margaret Mead

A “Think Art” and “Do tank”

SUMus considers that the society of tomorrow will be increasingly organized around places of life such as towns and villages and that the most important thing will be experimentation and the strength of example . This is why SUMus is both an international “Think tank” and a Venetian “Do tank” , which uses the universal language of art to engage citizens (the art tank).
