Arguably the most important component of AYEN’s philosophy is inspiring people to believe in change. This is incredibly difficult in the current hyper-connected global capitalist society where, despite its many faults, the fact remains that it provides many people with comfort, security, and an historically unparalleled access to goods and services. Compounding this issue is the exponential increase in social media access and ease of content creation that serves to crowd people’s attention and make it extremely difficult for movements to gain traction.

As such, it is critical that a large part of AYEN is dedicated to imagining and sharing ideas, innovations, and achievements that can inspire people to change the way they live. These changes will come in all shapes and sizes, but will require the generation and proliferation of inspirational ideas as the first step in the right direction.

It is this process that catalyzes change and ignites the spark of childlike hope and wonder that is crucial in implementing that change. This will require a strong presence on social media to create a platform for the collection and distribution of informational, educational, and inspirational content in the form of blogs, videos, artwork, project proposals, and more. It will also require the support of talented, dedicated, and creative individuals discussing their experiences and desires, and learning about the underlying theory behind the necessity of reimagining human landscapes. This is where the next component of AYEN’s philosophy comes in.
