The raw materials for catering are obtained primarily (but not exclusively) from local producers, within a 50-kilometer radius, strictly without packaging. In this way, we reduce transport distances and the amount of packaging at the same time. In order for this to be realized, our catering team did serious research in the area, mapping out the possibilities and producers. Of course, certain raw materials and spices cannot be purchased without packaging or locally, but this is a minimal part of our total kitchen needs. It is also important to obtain the raw materials necessary for the construction of the infrastructure from the nearest possible sites – as much as possible, dismantled, recycled, and sometimes from garbage collection.

In today’s world, those who want to live in community have many failures. They often feel that their community cannot be saved. In this video, Gusztáv- Pabló Vágvölgyi, a community business developer, talks about how to get there so that the seemingly unsalvageable community can be saved.

Acton Academy is a rethinking of school. Acton asks the fundamental question that was missing in our own educational experiences. What is education really for? Acton believes that education is not just about college, getting a job, or even starting a career. It’s about discovering a calling. It’s about answering the most fundamental questions: “Who am I? Where am I going? How do my passions and talents connect with the world around me? How can I serve a great need and even change the world?” Acton challenges students to become the agents and primary drivers of their learning, the entrepreneurs of their own education and life calling.

The main goal of the Golden Horse Foundation in Békéscsaba, established in 2009, is to protect the living world, which can be achieved in the long term if we provide the generations that come after us with the right knowledge. Our farm is also home to the FORMACOOP cooperative initiative, which enables the sharing of organic resources between individuals and organizations. Its purpose is to establish cooperations based on the needs of the collaborators and to maintain trust.

In this talk from the 2015 Network Society World Congress, Gabor Kiss Chairman of ENVIENTA Association, UBIE member, basic income activist talks about the ENVIENTA & Qetema projects as a holistic approach to open source ecology.
Venue: Innovation Center, Intesa World Headquarters, Turin, Italy.

The ENVIENTA project provides cheap and well designed living for individuals, families and communities. Why pay household bills if there are existing technologies to reduce your dependencies? Renewable energy is free. Self-sustainable living requires alternative gardening solutions, based on effective water usage without dirt and farming knowledge. Custom designed interior elements made from 3D printed recycled materials can reduce industrial waste.

Open source hardware development, self-sustaining lifestyle, resource sharing, blockchain-based value exchange, alternative organizational models and education – these are components of regenerative, cost-effective, decentralized socioeconomic and environmental frameworks of our age. Learn more from early days project in this video about our focus of collaborations. Since then we participated in many projects, in some cases as initiatiors, or join to those which are representatives of our value commitment.

Gábor Tóth participated in a small discussion on the live program “I’m here” on M2 Petőfi TV, where the impact of technological development on society was discussed. Our topics: robotic jobs, self-driving cars, Unconditional Basic Income, artificial intelligence. 6 minutes of the future.

With DeGrowth we are questioning ourselves about the physical and cultural limits to growth, and how to get rid of all these addictions to “always more”. And will present what we are suggesting as a solution on different living to implement transition, which are democratic to one new models of society, based on environmental and social justice commonality and autonomy. Rather, it encourages dialogue among those who believe that our way of thinking can be changed. Meet us at the Open Source Circular Economy Day in Budapest. An invitation from Vincent Liegey.

The guest of Envienta OSCE Days, Dr. Alexandra Köves, assistant professor at Corvinus University, draws attention to backcasting research in her presentation, from which a very utopian vision of the future unfolds. However, given the limits to growth and the megatrends, these are all realistic alternatives. The processes are moving in the direction of glocalization, the redefinition of work, the social involvement of economic actors, and a new type of political system.

The exponential technologies defining the trends of the 21st century and the sharing-based economy based on it have brought new forms of cooperation, as a result of which the old organizational forms – designed for efficiency and repetition – are gradually becoming obsolete. In addition to the integral approach, the efficiency of future businesses will be determined by community quality. Gusztáv Pabló Vágvölgyi, head of the Inspi-Ráció Association, tells about the difficulties that organizations still have to face, and what solutions already exist for them.

In the crossfire of public and political debates around the world, the question and necessity of introducing an unconditional basic income. In Finland, Canada and the Netherlands, among others, going beyond the ideological debates, pilot projects are already underway for the purpose of assessing the impact of basic income. Interview with György Pálffy.

Envienta OSCE Days welcomes Vincent Liegey, the engineer and spokesperson for the Degrowth Movement. In this event Vincent talks about the limits to growth, the increasing consumption of the finite resources and the real cost of the renewable energy. Considering the limits, his proposal is about low-tech solutions, like Cargonomia, a local community based food distribution service.

Today’s technological development seems to leave people standing still, so human development and community development become vital, according to Sándor Koszecz, president of the Életfa Cultural Foundation and head of organizational development at Envienta.

Áron Tanos and Emil Novák visited OSCE Days as exhibitors on behalf of the Hungarian Association of Robot Builders, which also deals with future-oriented technologies and education. The association, which is at the forefront of community cooperation and collaborative development activities, also supports open source software and hardware developments.

The OSCE Days in Budapest were hosted by Gábor Tóth, who closed the event with a thought-provoking, sometimes critical, but still entertaining presentation. This shows, among other things, how the search for viable alternatives led to the founding of the Community of Conscious Youth and then to the Envienta project.

In the ongoing industrial revolution, exponentially developing technologies, open-source cooperation, the rational distribution and use of resources, and global environmental sustainability all play a prominent role. In the opening presentation of OSCE Days, Gábor Kiss presents the Envienta project, which creates the foundations of community-based, open-source research and development in cooperation with the best in various fields. Through the process, we can reshape and at the same time make our living spaces ecologically sustainable.

DeGrowth is inviting us to connect the dots, is inviting us to always think further and it’s a great time to go deeper into thinking about the culturally needs to growth and whereas the blockades and how to go ahead step by step without falling in the wrong solution and with also the idea to how to secure the contradiction what we face in every step of the transformation of the society.

In life of our advisor Alexandra Köves, Dr. a decade long experience on policy development have raised topics which questioning the fundamentals of the development of the economy and society. Since then, she has participated in future researches on how to create systems with more sustainable environments and more equitable society. According to her belief, how we think about the future, what we consider possible or impossible determines what we want or want to do in the present or not.

Will there be an independent self-regulation above states in organized production-based communities? Some issues can not be solved with autonomous self-interest, but with deep collaboration in networked commons, playing an ever-greater role, complemented by government and market forces. We asked ourselves: what if we’re calling people from different fields of life working together to open source almost everything in a household? With holistic approach, it’s obvious to have few key areas merged into the system. Gabor Kiss, Co-founder of Envienta gives few examples.

Every settlement has a cultural institution that can be transformed into an innovation development center and a community space. In the spirit of the cultural dimension shift, we should rediscover these and fill them with content. This is also one of the declared goals of the Envienta project.

György Pálffy, representing the position of the UBI Association and Envienta, considers the complete reform of the social system inevitable in Hungary as well. He bases his argument on the megatrends that also define the labor market, and basic income can become the main tool for economic revitalization and consumption promotion.

An international series of events promoting the creation of the Open Source Circular Economy, was organized by Envienta and the Életfa Cultural Foundation. In our thematic program called “Community Future – Days of Knowledge Sharing”, we explored the expected effects of the current fourth industrial revolution, its lawful and inevitable consequences, as well as humanity’s possible responses based on conscious decisions.
