Our projects
Within our “international think tank”
The “forum of possibilities” around a regenerative future
Each year, a series of forward-looking conferences will bring together in Venice a panel of visionary international experts, as well as Venetians and leaders from around the world. The goal is to decipher the ongoing transformations and to co-create the new world together, guided by a renewed sense of wisdom.
This initiative is co-created with our forward-looking partners and our local partners; it is multi-dimensional, encompassing scientific, spiritual, and cultural dimensions.
These conferences provide essential insights into a civic approach of responsibility, fostering concrete local/global dialogue . Each year, a key theme will be selected and explored through contextualization, analysis, and forward-looking perspectives.
The first forum will take place on November 18-20, coinciding with the inauguration of Mille Donne di Venezia and WOW, under the theme “We Care, We Dare, We Share a heartful, peaceful, regenerative future full of life.This is an opportunity to bring together for the first time the international "Life" family, composed of individuals who have distinguished themselves through concrete regeneration initiatives (soil, economy, education, etc.). We hope to develop this family year after year and foster its interaction with Venetians through concrete projects.
The second event will focus on the treasures of Water.
Open awareness
SUMus invites you to discover Val's sculpture "From Chaos to Wisdom" at the Venice Conservatory of Music, which depicts the inner journey in seven stages. By answering the accompanying questionnaire, each individual can grow, find meaning in their life, and reconnect with their soul.
SUMus also wishes to initiate a project for a knowledge center around universal wisdom and quantum physics, a kind of MOOC which will allow, through films, videos, books, journals, educational content etc., to fuel forward-looking reflections in all areas concerning in particular Life and the universal laws of the Universe.
This central tool is made available to all those who wish to consciously evolve on their own path according to their personal aspirations.
Establishment of a prospective watch
SUMus establishes close relationships with international foresight institutions to identify the weak signals that will become the strong currents of the future.
Our monitoring focuses primarily on topics related to Life and Regeneration. We have already established relationships with the World Human Forum, IDG, Agir pour le Vivant, WeDemain, the University of the Earth, ChangeNow, and others.
We also work with the Mileva foresight artificial intelligence tool, which allows us to identify obstacles and development opportunities concerning Venice and, more generally, major global challenges. This tool helps us focus our efforts on essential actions and guide our activities. We plan to implement a barometer that will allow us to concretely measure the progress of our actions.
Awakening feminine power for a more harmonious world
MILLE DONNE DI VENEZIA & WOW
SUMus created Sumus WoMen around Mille Donne di Venezia and WOW. SUMus offers an interactive digital artwork that allows all women worldwide to unite and create a better world for future generations. Women bear life, and they are concerned about the direction our society is taking. It is time to rediscover the values of care: caring for humanity, caring for future generations, caring for the planet. It is time for all women around the world to join hands, unite, and take action by daring to "Dare.
Within our “Venetian Do tanks”
Establishment of regenerative ecosystems, creators of both well-being and economic value
HUMAN
An educational ecosystem linked to the knowledge of living things and universal laws , making extensive use of the arts as teaching tools, and also teaching artisanal, artistic, and agricultural skills: a school of mind and hand. It is within this framework that the Circle of Little Lights was launched as the first step in establishing an educational model that allows everyone to better understand themselves and develop their personal potential and talents; the aim is to train the leaders of tomorrow who will be, for us, humanist leaders.
EARTH
The HUMUS Project aims to co-create an innovative agricultural ecosystem around the island of Sant'Erasmo, Venice's historic vegetable garden, and other agricultural sites. This ecosystem will ensure the security and self-sufficiency of high-quality food for the Venetian archipelago, regenerating soils, fruits, and vegetables, thereby improving the health of the land and the Venetians. The goal is to make these products accessible to all residents and optimize the supply chain between various local stakeholders (producers, distributors, restaurateurs, etc.) so that everyone receives fair compensation. Soil quality and the nutritional value of the food will be monitored. Cooking methods and gastronomy will also be reinvented to preserve Venetian culinary traditions while enhancing the nutritional quality of dishes by adapting cooking techniques to retain vitamins and trace elements. We will recreate greater biodiversity by planting heirloom seeds and rediscovering forgotten fruits and vegetables.
WATER
Acqua Valley Project: we aim to initiate a new economic ecosystem developed around the “treasures of water.” Centered around a European marine biomimicry hub , potentially located within the Arsenal, we could closely involve scientists, students, artists, entrepreneurs, and impact investors. All research and discoveries concerning marine flora and fauna could be made available to businesses and startups as open-source resources. Like Silicon Valley in California, this new economic engine for Venice could attract many families to live in the city. It would be an experimental center focused on water and all lagoon and marine ecosystems. This new economic hub could revitalize Venice and its surrounding areas, benefiting its residents and, more broadly, the rest of the world.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INCUBATOR FOR IMPACT COMPANIES: Thanks to a partnership with the INCO group, a leader in supporting impact companies, SUMus will provide project leaders with a support platform to help them formalize their idea, ensure the solidity of their economic model, initiate their transition to action and follow them throughout the development of their company.
CREATION OF AN IMPACT INVESTMENT FUND: An impact investment fund will be created and will help finance the projects selected and monitored by the platform. This fund will be open to all investors, institutional or individual, wishing to contribute to the emergence of a new economy with a positive impact on both the environmental and societal levels.
FUTURE
An artisanal ecosystem to revitalize local crafts as a conscious response to mass overconsumption, including the transmission of knowledge and using today's technologies.
An experimental health center based on the properties of water, quantum physics, and vibrational medicine. The aim is to create an integrative health center that draws on allopathic medicine, traditional Chinese and Indian medicines, and incorporates new fundamental research in quantum physics, neuroscience, sound and color therapy, and the use of plants, particularly psychedelics, for therapeutic purposes. Our goal is to cultivate health through a harmonious physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
