Our vision

Six of the nine planetary boundaries (climate change, biosphere integrity, chemical pollutants, soil depletion, etc.) have already been exceeded, and the other three are also threatened (ocean acidification, ozone layer depletion, aerosols). We are witnessing a widening of inequalities and an explosion of diseases… all of which calls into question the medium-term survival of humanity.

The planet is suffering because humanity is suffering.

Faced with a systemic crisis (health, ecological, economic, social…), in fact a crisis of meaning, a systemic solution must be provided.

A profound societal transformation is already underway. SUMus was created to support this shaping of the future. It is a humanist, independent association, open to all who believe the time has come to change our perspective on life and transform our relationship with the living world for a brighter tomorrow. Its goal is to initiate, co-create, and promote, with as many people as possible, a new regenerative and therefore prosperous paradigm, enabling everyone to live in harmony with themselves, with others, and more broadly, with the planet, nature, and animals.

This new model, deeply respectful of life, is gradually leading to technological, agricultural, economic, financial, educational, media, artistic, etc. changes and is gradually shaping a new, healthy society in which it is good to live and thrive.

Citizens, businesses, and communities work together for the common good, within a caring and responsible ecosystem . New generations are involved and their aspirations taken into account in order to bequeath them a " regenerated, revitalized, and sustainable " world that addresses both our search for meaning and the planet's essential sustainability.

Incredible natural predispositions to play a role model

Venice possesses a highly strategic asset: water, which is the origin of life, water, which is also the memory of the world.

Venice and its archipelago form a world unto itself, intimately linked to its lagoon and marine environment. Environmental balance has always been a primary concern. Water, lagoon and marine fauna and flora are at the heart of bio-inspiration and constitute one of the main pillars of life upon which the renewal project is based.

Its architectural beauty, cultural treasures, exceptional artisanal traditions, unique universities, the bounty of its lagoon, its car-free lifestyle, and all the immediate challenges it faces (rising sea levels due to climate change, depopulation, mass tourism, economic diversification, etc.) make Venice both a universal place and a highly symbolic city. It is also an incredible platform for disseminating the guiding principles of a more enlightened humanity.

Finally, as a geographical crossroads between East and West, Venice enjoys exceptional global renown and has always exerted a powerful fascination. Successfully transforming itself primarily benefits its inhabitants and also serves to inspire other cities around the world.

Many believe that by joining forces, the international community can save Venice; paradoxically, SUMus believes that by becoming the laboratory of the future in harmony with life, Venice creates global hope and helps to heal humanity of its current excesses!

Economic activities are diversified and have a positive environmental and societal impact. Innovation is open source for all companies wishing to contribute to creating a sustainable future; it is primarily bio-inspired by the flora and fauna of the lagoon and the sea. Education is redesigned so that everyone can discover their talents and freely express them. Art serves self-improvement and quality of life.

Craftsmanship is revitalized to offer a conscious response to mass overconsumption. Enlightened participatory democracy is prioritized, involving young people and residents in shaping the future of their community; co-creation is the norm. Abundance results from incredible creativity and regenerated biodiversity. Finally, harmony reigns among all, and the balance with nature, fauna, and flora is respected and taken for granted.

Venice then becomes a kind of living ode to the planet, to humanity animated by a new consciousness, to the intelligence of life. It thus celebrates singularity, beauty, freedom, peace, abundance, and joy!

Venice is once again playing a prominent and inspiring role for the rest of the world, as it already did during the Renaissance when it was a leading economic, cultural and spiritual model.

It naturally maintains its strong tradition of international openness. It attracts experts from all over the world who come to contribute to the avant-garde co-creation of this new societal model.

Tourism is also being reinvented to promote the experience of "Venetian life" through encounters with its inhabitants. Thus, future tourists are eco-conscious individuals, seeking quality tourism and looking for inspiration in a new way of living and behaving.

In the current international fog, Venice can regain the beacon role it had in the past and show the way.
