4 SEASONS NEWSLETTER
Dear Trans4mers, Friends and Colleagues of Trans4m !
While we are still mourning the recent loss of Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish, founder of Sekem in Egypt and inspirational guide on Trans4m’s Global Wisdom Council, we are proud to share the developments of a very rich past three months.
In this newsletter, you find a selection of key happenings, events and achievements from across the Trans4m Community – this time in particular from Africa, Middle East, Europe and US. For those of you interested: this is the time to apply for the next intake of our groundbreaking and transformative PhD Program on Integral Development, designed to “CARE 4 Your Society”, starting this autumn – and to thereby also join our global community of integral social innovators. We are very much looking forward to your reflections and feedback and please feel free to share this newsletter with your friends and colleagues. With kindest wishes and TRANS4Mative greetings !
