U360 IDEAS: Cultivating Equitable Ecosystems
Empowering communities and fostering collective growth for a more equitable future.
What does U360 IDEAS do?
U360 IDEAS is an idea generator creating and designing strategies towards equitable ecosystems through facilitation, convening, and injecting vital elements of care work for humans to thrive.
U360 IDEAS partners with people working in systems to cultivate a culture centering the needs of the individuals that make up the ecosystem itself. We view ecosystems as any and all groups of people coming together to build power and effectively reach their north star. We invite folks to engage in interactive 'sessions' rooted in intentional relationship building, consistent introspection, and collective committed action
