UBI Lab Finland leads on the theme of perspectives and possibilities of Universal Basic Income. Session 4
Humanothon is a human, world, change-aware ‘marathon’ – a thematic movement – for sense making and building shared understanding.
UBI Lab Finland leads on the theme of UBI. We started building understanding on the many perspectives and possibilities of UBI (Universal Basic Income) on the Hunome ‘social 4.0’ platform last year. We now invite you to join in this build into a global sense-making session and into the Hunome SparkMap on October 24th.
Could the introduction of UBI – significantly reduce poverty and act to address lack of equality? – reducing the complexity and cost of the welfare state? – allow people to contribute to their community and amplify participatory, deliberative and representative forms of democracy?
UBI is not a simple theme / phenomenon, there are many perspectives to consider. How can we help decision makers to understand and make great decisions on UBI? What are some great examples of experiments and innovative thinking around the world? What impact might UBI make? How would ‘installing’ UBI change people’s lives and societies? What about the global picture, what varies? What might be the root causes of the changes? Did we get those right or did convenience and supposed wishes take us in the wrong direction, without deep enough understanding? And what can be the unintended consequences? What’s next?
We are inviting you to deliberate and build forward the exciting SparkMap titled “UBI, Universal Basic Income” we started building at UBI Lab Finland. It brings together – connecting the dots – the various perspectives surrounding UBI, the changes and impact, what is changing now, what are examples from around the world, what innovations, what possibilities for improvements, how are humans around the world experiencing the experiments and ideas put forward.
Join us to contribute your knowledge, experiences and thoughts to this discussion. We are eager to have your thoughts on UBI – what’s next: why this is so important, what impact it could have, the history of it to understand its evolution and more as part of our shared multidisciplinary understanding. Let’s learn from each other across countries and build shared understanding around UBI globally and locally with the atomic community in Hunome!

About Hunome
Hunome is uniquely designed to build shared understanding with collective sense-making. The SparkMap is a non-linear, evolving, multi-dimensional, map of understanding on the theme. SparkMap is a great way to visualize the understanding that a group of people have on a particular theme.
About Humanothon
Humanothon is a program run on the Hunome product. You can take leadership on a theme that needs multidimensional understanding and that you want to build with a concerted systematic attention with a group. Hunome product is there to use and our team helps the leads set this up with materials.
You do not need to run a Humanothon to build multidimensional understanding on Hunome. You can also just start by clicking on ‘New SparkMap’ once inside Hunome and craft your own understanding and see others join.
