Why did you start moonlight institute?
|
|||
|
|
</h3> <p class="text-black text-xl mt-4">moonlight institute was borne out of discussions we were having in our community about the urgent need to transform our societies, to confront the substantial changes we face in the world. We must prepare for impending climate chaos as well as rapid technological changes that will overhaul our ways of life. Through these discussions we quickly realized the necessary frameworks and pathways to a stable, resilient, and flourishing world are not well defined. <br><br>Communities small and large, global and local lack the tools, policy, and communication methods to realize such a future. At moonlight · institute, we foster policy research, support the development of tools and communication strategies, as well as tell stories of hope, illuminating pathways to a sustainable, equitable, and just world for generations to come.</p> </div> <div class="lg:w-2/3 lg:pr-12"> <h3 class="text-black text-2xl font-semibold mt-12">

With so many non-profits working on sustainability, equity and justice, where does moonlight institute fit in?
|
|||
|
|
</h3> <p class="text-black text-xl mt-4">We aren’t interested in duplicating work, in reinventing the wheel. There are so many non-profits, activists and community leaders working globally to solve the various existential threats we face. Even so there are a lot of gaps and there really is a lot of work yet to be done! We founded moonlight institute to identify those gaps, and to build shareable frameworks and tools for those gaps to be covered. But not all of this is building new things from scratch. Some of this is translating and collating work already done, and democratizing access so that everyone is empowered to change their community.<br><br>At moonlight institute, we commit to taking on the unpleasant work, the complex work, the work that isn’t incentivized and covered elsewhere and to share the fruits of our labour universally.</p> </div> <div class="lg:w-2/3 lg:pr-12"> <h3 class="text-black text-2xl font-semibold mt-12">

Why “moonlight”?
|
|||
|
|
</h3> <p class="text-black text-xl mt-4">
|
|||
|
|
We are named “moonlight” after Eliza Chandra Prabha Kuttner, who was a beloved instructor of computer science at Capilano College (now University), and yoga teacher trainer in pranayama and meditation at Salt Spring Centre of Yoga. It is in her memory that we dedicate the work of this organization to create a world she would have been proud to see. It follows in the spirit of her compassion, and commitment to equity and justice, not only for humanity, but for every living thing with which we share this planet. As she did, and as the moon does, we hope to shed a gentle light onto the pathways forward to a wonderful future.
