SHIFFT

the social & humane institution for fundamental transformation

Our vision

Everything is constantly changing, and every change presents us with challenges and opportunities. It is our responsibility to shape this inexorable change to our advantage. In order to avoid systemic global collapse and transform our societies sustainably for the benefit of humanity and ecosystems, we need a global movement and a united effort by all non-profit actors. There is an enormous need for action in all areas and great potential for individual non-profit development.

It is time for global change through new transnational alliances, decentralized networks, and local solutions that prioritize the well-being of humanity and the preservation of ecosystems. It is time for a non-profit, sustainable, and resource-based global economic system that enables every citizen of the world to exercise their fundamental right to preserve and freely develop their own existence. And it is time for the joint formulation of binding ethical and moral guidelines and values that serve as the basis for cultural, political, religious, social, economic, and scientific systems by which all can measure themselves and be measured.

  • We need an influential grassroots lobby in which all willing actors can participate according to their abilities. This would compensate for what politics and business are lacking and counterbalance global social division.
  • We need decentralized and regional networks as a point of contact for local collaborations and the establishment of sustainable economies that give everyone the opportunity to become active and take responsibility.
  • We need jointly formulated strategies and desirable visions for the future that can inspire us and unite us as humanity in the age of AI.
  • We need a binding legal framework based on ethical and moral values that we can use as a guide and against which we can measure ourselves.
  • And we need a non-profit and transparent platform where we can inform ourselves, educate ourselves, and connect with others. An interaction and interest network that unites all actors and all types of peaceful protest and motivates us to make a decisive contribution to social development.

Through its own projects and globally networked collaborations, SHIFFT will help transform obsolete systems, establish existing solutions, and jointly shape the future. Away from a selfish and externally controlled economy that disempowers and divides us, toward an intrinsic and altruistic economy that connects us and allows us to develop freely. We are committed to the well-being of humanity and the preservation of ecosystems, and offer everyone the opportunity to make a decisive contribution.

One of our first and most important projects is to jointly formulate a vision for the future of all humanity. To this end, once the foundation has been established, we will provide tools that enable everyone to participate. Until then, you will get a rough idea of the direction we want to take and the areas in which the shared vision needs to be formulated.
