Discussion Board for Fellows: What Are Your Curious About Other Visioneers? by beVisioneers

¿Has your goal shift along your own personal growth?

2024-06-03 22:16:57 UTC

I'm wondering how many fellows have a similar niche to me? Children/climate/film

2024-06-04 00:22:22 UTC

What has been your success story so far?

2024-06-04 00:31:57 UTC

I find myself visualizing my project, how I want it to turn out. I might be getting ahead of myself but it's very exciting haha

2024-06-04 03:58:56 UTC

Am Curious on your WHY...

2024-06-04 04:09:58 UTC

Your “why” is the heart of your motivation. Your why is what other people will connect to — When and How as a visioneer did you find your WHY

How have you geared yourself up for the journey ahead?

2024-06-04 04:29:27 UTC

I am curious to know the cultural differences in work, communication and other things between fellows from different parts of the world

2024-06-04 05:14:38 UTC

Curious about 'their' Journey

2024-06-04 07:19:29 UTC

I'm very curious to know what inspired them to choose the field of sustainability and their journey to becoming Visioneers. I'm also interested in learning from others' experiences.

I am curious about what motivates other visioneers to keep going

2024-06-04 07:47:30 UTC

What has been your successes and failures along the way?

2024-06-04 09:56:00 UTC

Im super curious to understand how felows manage the uncertainty of their projects futures

2024-06-04 11:55:09 UTC

Who are the other fellows and mentors? What are their backgrounds and areas of expertise? How does the fellowship facilitate networking and community building?

2024-06-04 12:43:49 UTC

I want to know if other bevisioneers are working towards radical change and believe like me that the systems we have now wont save us, and that we need entirely new ones? I also want to know if they are interested in building these new systems and working to make the social change to transition over to them?

2024-06-04 13:54:43 UTC

From a sustainable fashion advocate that is sick of fast fashion...

Themes and Collaboration

2024-06-04 14:17:04 UTC

I am curious about the visioneers who are interested in education - knowledge development and accessibility. And how we can collaborate and support each other through the programme.

I am curious to see how we will all act once we see each other in real life

2024-06-04 14:25:39 UTC

I am very confident in typing, BUT in real life..................................... I am as shy as they come

How my project will come to life by help from my mentor and other fellows

2024-06-04 14:48:37 UTC

Curious about who our mentors are going to be

2024-06-04 15:17:29 UTC

I would love to know people's journeys and inspirations that led them to this fellowhsip

2024-06-04 15:59:00 UTC

What skills do you have that you are willing to speak on, share out about, be a resource for/point person for?

Finding Strength

2024-06-04 16:17:57 UTC

We're all passionate about our projects, but like everyone, there are moments of doubt. Are they ever unsure of their ideas? How do they handle those moments? Maybe we can share stories about those times and how we found our way back to feeling determined. It could be a great way to support each other!

Are you prepared for the journey ahead?

2024-06-04 17:21:54 UTC

I hope to figure out which Minimum Viable Product I can identify to make the most revenue/impact and strike a balance

2024-06-04 17:45:59 UTC

Doing what l love

nakyanziesharipher — 2024-06-04 20:30:40 UTC

I am eager to see how it feels doing what you love and progressing gradually with minimal pressure, all my life l have hoped to work on sustainable projects without rushing myself, taking baby steps and yes here l am . I think it's gonna be fun with so many fellows but far away.

How do you feel about the great mission that awaits you from now on?

2024-06-04 21:02:48 UTC

There might be fellows with more trajectory in leadership, entrepreneurship, etc. and also with more progress on their projects, who could share their experiences on how they faced their fears and challenges. There could also be other fellow like me, who are just starting their journey and whose project is at very early stage. So for me, I've been feeling super excited but at the same intimidated of not being prepared enough for the big challenges and great mission that awaits me.

I am curious about navigating solutions to problems in my society. This is one of aspecrs that made me passionate about science and technology. As a mathematician I try to use my knowledge by AI models that will solve problems. As a Physicist, I also try to use these principles and apply them to solve a real problems. I am not only a realist but I believe it's all about making the world a better place.

2024-06-04 22:15:43 UTC

Who else feels like the fellowship program is revolutionary?

2024-06-04 22:44:15 UTC

I get it, we are just getting started, but who else feels like this is a kind of unique fellowship that is dynamic and multifaceted?

Id like to know more about their projects, lifestyle, background, and making new friends and partners to make this world a better place to live.

2024-06-04 23:15:16 UTC

How has your application journey to becoming a BeVisioneer been?

2024-06-05 03:50:14 UTC

I am curious about how everyone got to first learn about the BeVisioneers Fellowship program.

Any fellow here working with climate refugee communities?

2024-06-05 03:57:51 UTC

Am working on a project that seeks to provide food security to climate refugee camps through sustainable organic and climate farming

I am curious to learn about your short-term and long-term goals, both professionally and personally!

2024-06-05 05:20:31 UTC

What drives and motivates you to do what you do ,or what is the motivation behind your project

2024-06-05 05:48:19 UTC

Everyone we meet has something to teach.

I am curious to know fellows focusing on water sustainability

2024-06-05 09:13:07 UTC

What draws you to climate action?

2024-06-05 11:47:24 UTC

I am just curious to get to know how each of us perceive sustainability. It will be good to know each of our take on sustainability and how that can influence our understanding of it.

2024-06-05 12:24:24 UTC

What are your personal goals and what motivates you?

2024-06-05 14:04:10 UTC

Has your project idea changed?

2024-06-05 15:13:35 UTC

Has the idea of changing your idea or enhancing it come to your mind? What did you do in that situation?

2024-06-05 17:50:54 UTC

education centered projects

2024-06-06 04:52:14 UTC

I want to see how many of you have education projects and how can we work together and help each other :)

I am curious about meeting and having a mentor, it's a first time experience for me and I can't wait.

2024-06-06 05:26:17 UTC

I wonder who is going to be my mentor, i just can not wait to meet and engage with them, i believe this is going to be a beautiful year.

2024-06-06 07:13:51 UTC

I am too Excited and grateful to know that someone who is a professional in their field, and that they are going to be mentoring me throughout my journey in this programme.

2024-06-06 10:28:14 UTC

New friends

2024-06-06 10:54:29 UTC

Imaginations

2024-06-06 11:13:53 UTC

how do you imagine being at the end of this program? will you grow professionally? personally? have clear ideas? will this be an important step towards the person you aspire to be in 5 or 10 years to come?

i am so curious about the future for me and all of the other fellows here

What do you think will sustain you while executing your planet positive idea?

2024-06-06 13:09:01 UTC

While executing our ideas we expect to find challenges or fail at some point. How will you as a visioneer handle this?

If you could describe yourself with ONE word, what would it be?

2024-06-06 15:40:46 UTC

For me is extrovert 🫢

what are you currently working on and how can we collaborate and support each other ?

2024-06-06 15:48:09 UTC

Impact Assessment

2024-06-06 16:55:06 UTC

Eagerly waiting to learn how and the parameters I will be using to assess the success rate of my project.

Am curious to See how my project will come to life

2024-06-06 17:33:34 UTC

Am curious to know what their planet positive projects are like, and if we can make meaningful collaborations

2024-06-06 17:59:57 UTC

Curious about fellow visioneers and their respective project. hoping to learn a lot from each other.

2024-06-06 18:02:52 UTC

How do you manage to keep up motivated? What do you do when your mood is down?

2024-06-06 18:04:13 UTC

Where do you see your project in 5 years?

2024-06-06 18:43:34 UTC

What is your personal story that encouraged you to start this project?

2024-06-06 18:56:05 UTC

Are you ever worried about your country's lack of prioritization for the environment?

2024-06-06 19:09:43 UTC

What are you most of afraid of?

2024-06-06 19:24:40 UTC

Interested In!

2024-06-06 19:37:08 UTC

I want to learn their best practices on how they support and preserve the environment. Also their motivations and skill sets and possibly areas of collaboration!

I am curious about other Visioneers to learn about their stories and struggles and how they are or they did overcome them, also sharing my experiences and exchanging ideas, points of views and have some fun while doing it.

2024-06-06 21:02:23 UTC

My curiosity lies in the fashion industry sustainability, like how long is it gonna take for it to be fully sustainable with its slow pace to adoption compared to other industries

2024-06-06 22:16:31 UTC

Does feasibility challenge of your project make you change your idea into an easily implementable project?

2024-06-06 22:29:25 UTC

I realized that while a project may be promising in terms of communities that will immensely benefit from its implementation, an increase in its complexity will most probably lead to more time required to see it come full circle into life.

Given the case scenario, and even after considering the amazing multiplier effects of your project, do you make a decision to change into a smaller and easy to achieve idea?

What is your earliest memory of having a sustainability-focused mindset?

2024-06-07 04:15:27 UTC

I’m curious to hear about when your sustainability awareness clicked! Doesn’t have to be a life-altering moment!🌱

I'm curious to know if at some point two different project ideas with similar visions can merge to form one mega project idea.

2024-06-07 10:08:29 UTC

Have you thought about expansion of your project and what have been your setbacks in your community

2024-06-07 11:42:05 UTC

So many times we come across setbacks in our projects, execution and expansion of those projects in relation to our different countries, communities and what they consider socially acceptable and the ability to acquire social support locally

How confident and accepting are you when it comes to shifting gears in your career?

2024-06-07 14:25:50 UTC

I have seen numerous times, people start off with something very different from what they end up doing. In fact, it is very dynamic all throughout one’s life. I am curious to know what approach Fellows have taken in the past or would take in future if they encounter something like this?

Conventional - sticking to what you have been doing

New - accepting of what comes and chasing the uncertain

Does your project scare you

2024-06-07 16:49:36 UTC

Sometimes I usually wonder if I am being overly ambitious with the things I do but then I remember as human beings, we've managed to do things that were deemed as impossible. We are flying 5000 feet in metal boxes, something that 100 years ago wasn't possible.

With this said I choose not to let FEAR get in the way of my dreams and impact in the world.

I want to know, is there anyone else in the idea phase of their project?

2024-06-08 13:23:28 UTC

What challenges have you faced in your sustainability journey & how have you overcome them? What challenges do you foresee facing in the future?

2024-06-08 20:56:55 UTC

I am curious to learn about what sparked the interest in your project? Does the issue personally affect you or were you drawn to it through something else?

2024-06-08 21:00:57 UTC

Why did you apply to be a part of this fellowship?

2024-06-08 23:36:49 UTC

I feel that it would be interesting to know where everyone's passion for climate preservation and social change comes from!

Who else feels like this has been one of the most organized and 'easy' applications?

2024-06-09 10:16:28 UTC

Prompt communications via emails with well defined deadlines. I feel like the staff made it all feel so human

What is your vision for humanity?

2024-06-09 17:22:47 UTC

I am eager to know what vision you have for the human race in the next 2 or 3 decades.

How did you get to your project?

2024-06-09 17:58:35 UTC

I started developing ideas for a big project that would have a positive impact on the environment since 2019, but it has evolved. It started from waste to energy all the way up to rewilding (keeping in mind the waste to energy concept, but still I believe it is a big leap). Have you had big leaps of your own? Or you stayed in the same line of idea?

The Long Race

2024-06-10 02:43:25 UTC

I'm curious about the ways in which other fellows keep themselves motivated when it seems like their progress is stagnant.

I understand that accomplishing a goal takes time, you have to be open to taking risks, and you may have to fail a few times before getting it right.

How do you stay motivated? How do you keep your mind from convincing you, you aren't good enough and that you'll never accomplish what you set out to do?

Planning

2024-06-10 09:03:14 UTC

How are you planning/making room in your life, to be fully present in the fellowship?

For me, I'm taking my days slowly and saying no so that I can say yes in the future for my tasks

The growth of plans from roots

2024-06-10 09:10:26 UTC

I have always wondered as kid how plants grow although we have done plant growth and production at school it still fascinates me and as to how can such a small seed develop into something so big and worthy to the planet and the people in general, it is such a mind grilling thought when you look at it in depth.

What has been your greatest failure?

2024-06-10 11:59:56 UTC

Labs and Projects

2024-06-10 18:15:40 UTC

I curious about our different labs and their impact on our project journeys.

I am more curious about the similarity of the organisations in the area and the inventions we could create to bring about a new model of our province or area

2024-06-10 21:41:22 UTC

Algorithm accuracy

2024-06-11 05:34:14 UTC

Did your mentor really fit with your needs?

I am curious to see where I will be in the next 5 years.

2024-06-11 12:26:12 UTC

For anyone who has passed the idea stage, how did you know who to go to for help in creating the prototype? What criteria did you use to select the people to join you in this journey?

2024-06-11 19:22:34 UTC

I am curious to hear how sustainability impacts other people’s personal lives? What choices in your day-to-day reflect your love of sustainability?

2024-06-11 19:27:18 UTC

I am so curious and excited about meeting people from different regions and areas of the world!

2024-06-11 19:28:43 UTC

Even reading the comments just shows how different the lives we come from are, but it’s so exciting to see everyone come together for the same goal! Very excited to learn more from everyone

who is your role model or hero in sustainability or personal growth?

2024-06-11 19:38:05 UTC

I'm just curious about who or what is inspiring you to do better and why.

Does anyone here to cocreate an alternative school?

2024-06-12 09:54:15 UTC

Curious to learn about the various projects that this cohort has

2024-06-12 13:05:55 UTC

I am curious to know what is your (other fellows') ultimate goal with your project beyond this fellowship (that is after the fellowship period is over)?

2024-06-12 14:16:09 UTC

What apps do you use for organisation of your long term tasks?

2024-06-12 14:33:48 UTC

How do we overcome imposter syndrome?

2024-06-12 14:34:23 UTC

How others overcome the fear of speaking confidently of their project?

2024-06-13 01:20:49 UTC

yes , I know adjustment are necessary since the resources I need will be costly, but I can't wait to see my idea come to life.

2024-06-13 13:51:32 UTC

I am curious to know how you got your idea?

2024-06-15 13:59:25 UTC

Ideas don't just come to your mind (contrarily portrayed in e.g. films). Maybe there was something you were inspired by and then want to realize this glimps of an idea. But in order to do so, your idea need to be further developed. By what did you get inspired? I would love to hear your stories :)

Life long sustainability networks

2024-06-17 00:31:59 UTC

I’ve attended a number of climate justice camps and sustainability conferences and I’ve noticed the importance of keeping the fellows or colleagues met around you after the events. There’s so much growth and immense diversity it’s so inspiring! I hope we are able to have the same networks and relationships even after the summit. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! 💞

Action Steps

2024-06-17 04:48:59 UTC

Im curious how the will structure this cohort creating action steps for us to bring our projects to life since they are all so different and are in different stages as well

Reasons and fields

2024-06-17 08:19:45 UTC

I am wondering which reasons pushed other people to engage in here and if there's anyone specifically interested in community adaptation forms

I'm expecting guidance and a point of view from and experienced professional who is willing and eager to listen an challenge what I have in mind

2024-06-17 10:32:37 UTC

In your conceptualisation phase of your project, how many times did you re-evaluate your project based on sustainability criteria and other market conditions?

2024-06-17 10:35:09 UTC

Am curious to know whether the fellowship supports non-profit projects and what kind of support will be available to them specifically

2024-06-17 11:48:49 UTC

What are are you curious about other Visioneers?

2024-06-17 15:14:48 UTC

I am curious about the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my fellow Visioneers. Specifically, I am interested in learning about the unique projects they are working on, the challenges they have faced and overcome, and the innovative solutions they have developed in their respective fields. Additionally, I would love to know more about their motivations for joining the beVisioneer program and what they hope to achieve through our collective efforts.

Does anyone have experience with IOT devices for renewable energy?

2024-06-17 15:29:42 UTC

What is your sustainability story? What lead you to start your project and what inspires you?

2024-06-18 05:04:30 UTC

Does your professional experience give you all the tools to execute your project? How will you fill in the gaps, if any?

2024-06-18 07:44:23 UTC

I'm curious about where their goal has stemmed from

2024-06-18 16:39:22 UTC

I enjoy giving spaces to people to speak about their lived realities and understanding where this desire to create change came from in a form of story telling. It opens up our minds to different perspectives and perceptions we may have had just due to the fact we all have different experiences with life. So curious about that

I am curious on the diversity of the cohort, hearing other perspectives will be very interesting and inspiring

2024-06-18 18:32:04 UTC

If there has been a fellow working on Performative Arts?

2024-06-19 08:07:14 UTC

What is your story and how did you come to find beVisioneers?

2024-06-19 13:08:44 UTC

What are the stories behind your motivations?

2024-06-19 16:39:51 UTC

Shared goals

2024-06-19 19:29:53 UTC

I am curious about anyone else who I share an interest in science communication especially breaking down and communicating science issues through conservation storytelling using particularly photography. And any opportunities for growth along that line.

What really motivates you?

2024-06-19 19:35:33 UTC

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of many environmental issues?

2024-06-20 03:18:53 UTC

For a long time, I felt overwhelmed by how seemingly unsurmountable a lot of the environmental issues in the world seemed, and it took me a long time to overcome this feeling.

If you've had a similar experience, how did you overcome it? I personally eased my way into taking action through activities in school and some of my personal projects over several years.

Curious of the growth and development of the project itself and myself

2024-06-20 06:21:21 UTC

I've been working with this project since a while, and for the first time I will have the opportunity to fully focus on it. Curious, nervous but excited to embark the journey alongside driven and such talented people around the world!

I'm curious to know about everyone's planet positive project and want to learn from them about new things.

2024-06-20 10:06:34 UTC

Interested in finding fellows who are focusing their projects in the field of fashion sustainability and hopefully connect during the upcoming summit!

2024-06-20 11:01:19 UTC

Project Implimentation and Growth

2024-06-20 11:15:57 UTC

I would love to know more about how open are the fellow Visioneers in growing with their ideas and then improving their planet positive impact over the course of the year ? What are some time management and project management techniques that you are planning to utilize to make the opportunity having been a part of this fellowship meaningful !

I'm curious to know, for the visioneers who have already completed their degree, is your degree/professional career aligned to the project your currently implementing/hope to implement

2024-06-20 16:40:53 UTC

Have you ever felt like different impact zones converge and you're a little lost on the nuances of the research you plan to do?

2024-06-20 18:01:40 UTC

How do you organize yourselves ?

2024-06-20 19:29:58 UTC

I do fear that organization could be one of my areas of opportunity and I do fear that that compromises my project idea...

How have you worked your business plan

2024-06-22 22:45:56 UTC

I want to learn more about making ideas profitable for the longer term and put that in a business plan that makes sense

How do you navigate procrastination? (if you have it)

2024-06-24 09:02:18 UTC

How to stay motivated?

2024-06-26 03:11:47 UTC

I'm curious what other fellows do to stay motivated and stay in the right track/direction moving forward?

The human race bringing more to this world to brighten it daily

2024-06-26 16:53:33 UTC

I am curious about my fellows and the ingenuity we can all bring to this planet. I am curious about the space we bring and the ideas we all create to nurture our home, the earth, not just as one but as an entire species.

what are new developments in climate science that you are excited about? and do you have any speculative ideas where they could be utilized?

2024-06-27 17:00:05 UTC

What are your primary goals from this fellowship? Have they changed since you applied?

2024-06-28 11:40:42 UTC

Do you have expertise in the project you are venturing into?

2024-06-28 15:38:22 UTC

My project involves technical items and I have absolutely no idea how to tackle them!

Does anyone feel conflicted by the fact that this programme is funded by Mercedez-Benz?

2024-06-28 19:10:21 UTC

(mass car manufacturer) If so, how are you navigating/ grabbling with that? Have you faced any criticism for wanting to be a Fellow within your climate campaigning communities (about green washing)?

Can we scale business cases for planet positive solutions?

2024-07-01 17:19:52 UTC

I have always wondered why doing the right thing has been hard for established businesses. One of the underlying responses I have come across is that the switch is too expensive but how do we make a billion reasons to scale planet positive solutions to do both well and do good.

I am looking forward to Learn, UnLearn, Re-Learn

2024-07-02 03:10:08 UTC

I’m curious about the unique challenges and opportunities that other fellows are facing in their projects. Learning about their innovative solutions and approaches to problem-solving can provide valuable insights and inspire new ideas for my own work. I’m also interested in understanding the diverse backgrounds and experiences they bring to the fellowship, which can enrich our collective knowledge and collaboration.

2024-08-03 05:27:15 UTC

I am curious about how to align vision and mission with daily tasks during the project

2024-08-03 12:52:31 UTC
