How to Hunome
Different ways in which to build understanding on Hunome.
Solo Build: Build understanding independently and asynchronously. Invite others to do the same on your SparkMap.
Atomic Group: Bring your own group to flesh out ideas directly relevant to the group's interests or priorities.
Humanathon: Is a global human-aware ‘marathon’ as the wicked themes are ongoing and dynamic. It is designed to bring people from diverse backgrounds together to explore complex issues related to the human experience in various sessions.
Once you've signed up, set a profile describing your interests and ways of knowing, you can begin your sensemaking journey and add your unique perspectives.
Build your SparkMap
Adding your perspectives feels like writing a blog post or crafting a short message, but the impact is far greater and more enduring. Your ideas become part of a larger conversation, interacting and evolving alongside others' contributions.
On Hunome, you intertwine your thoughts with those of others on an ever-evolving thought canvas, we call the SparkMap.
The SparkMap allows for the transparent evolution of ideas, enabling everyone to observe how thinking progressed and why it moved in a particular direction.
SparkMaps facilitate interaction between diverse perspectives and showcase the nuance, detail, and synthesis within them. By contributing yours, you play a vital role in collective sensemaking.
A space where
all voices will be heard
The core Hunome platform is and will always be FREE
Collective sensemaking requires the inclusion of people regardless of how much money they have.
Similarly, the significance of perspectives should be determined solely by their merits and value, rather than the identity or status of the presenter.
Influence cannot be purchased or leveraged on Hunome.
We are committed to leveling the playing field so that all voices can be heard and contribute to our shared understanding.
Solo
On Hunome, you are able to intertwine your thoughts with those of others. Join any SparkMap, add perspectives to Sparks, igniting new thoughts
Atomic Group
Atomic groups on Hunome form around interests. Bringing your group together on a SparkMap build will set you on the way to sensemaking on a specific theme of interest to your group.
A Humanathon
Engage with diverse experts and people in a collective, ongoing effort to develop a comprehensive perspective on societal change.
Hunome is about active thinking and engagement.
You build rather than just consume, share and follow.
