Humanothon is a movement that aims to inspire and empower individuals and groups to build shared understanding and to make a difference. Humanothon is run in a number of ways. We have a series of virtual gatherings, to start the build on a SparkMap. The SparkMaps are the way in which we represent the knowledge build and the sense-making; each spark is the perspective and idea of each participant or can be of one individual. These, are also open for build in parallel, after and beyond the gatherings.
We have some incredible humans who kick start the SparkMap building sessions. You can attend any of these sessions below by first creating an account on the Hunome product.
Upcoming Sessions
Embracing complexity of cancer
Could it be that we have reached the limitations of this approach? Could a reductionist view be too simplistic in the face of the formidable variation that is characteristic of cancer?
Hunome and Houda Boulahbel invite you to broaden our understanding of complexity, so we can look at cancer through a new lens, in a series of four events. In each event, we will learn and build on our different perspectives.
UBI Global Humanothon
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.
This build is led by UBI Lab Finland, a citizen-led group exploring and advocating for Universal Basic Income.
Past Sessions
Future of Work – What’s New
We are building an exciting SparkMap titled “Future of work – what’s next” which deliberates on the world of work and brings together – connecting the dots – the various perspectives surrounding the world of work, 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 ideas of gig economy, zero hour contracts.
This build is led by Nicky Dries, who runs the Future of Work Lab within the Faculty of Economics, that studies social imaginaries for the future.
Demographic Shifts and Impacts (Session 2)
In our first humanothon on population decline, we brought together 20 thinkers, researchers, development professionals, futurists, students, and concerned citizens. The results were fascinating.
Session 2 aims to bring bring more stakeholders with different skill sets into the humanathon process, continue to encourage sparkons. This theme is led by Adam Sharpe an Award-Winning Futurist.
AI Regulations
AI needs to be regulated, it may be misused and become dangerous as any other technology, it may cause confusion and misunderstanding if not properly explained and presented. However it is on such a rapid course of evolution as no other technology before. Despite already being used on wide range of occassions from registering cars at parking lots to being appointed as some companies CEO, the regulations for AI vague at best. Join us to explore this complex theme.
This build is led by Linards Kalvans, data practitioner and AI enthusiast.
EU Economic and Energy Policy (Session 2)
This build explores EU’s energy and economic policy and their effects and links to the goals of sustainable development.
This is a second workshop on the theme, building on the SparkMap created in the first session in May 2023 by experts and young social influencers. Our goal now is to engage more experts, politicians and activists.
This build is led by Timo Kuusiola, the founder of Creatura Think Do Tank, a thinker, and organization activist.
