During the last few months and the socio-economic and political changes we are experiencing in Cyprus, words as collectiveness, solidarity and self-reliance are of more importance. Utopia Collectiva, based on those ideals, acts and contributes both at a social and a collective level. The
attitude promoted by Collective seems to be necessary, now, a
prerequisite for decent survival and development of people within and
outside Europe, suffering from the effects of system changes. No
panic, on the contrary, we believe that - even through the infernal
plans policies within and outside Cyprus - is our chance to take our
lives into our own hands and as long as we stay out of the new system
imposed on us. WE, Utopia , personally and collectively:
- We act collectively and MUTUALLY, exchanging and utilizing the skills of everyone.
- Apply SELF-SUFFICIENCY in our basic needs : production of basic foodstuffs (bread, vegetables, oil, etc.), creation and repair items (clothes, furniture, gifts, cosmetics, etc.)
- We prefer LOCAL PRODUCTS: thus avoid imported and support the local economy.
- We prefer QUALITY PRODUCTS that are not harmful to health and the environment.
- WE SUPPORT THE SMALL BUSINESS: While shopping from multinationals help a family to live, but rather an increasing riches. Each of our market is one vote for the world we want. *
- We live our neighborhood as an extension of our home .
- We use the necessary energy ( alternative ways of traveling , saving at home , APE , etc. )
- We encourage CREATIVITY, SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY and CRITICAL THINKING in children and those around us.
- Changing the way we spend our leisure time, spending more time with nature on the previous activities , they feel calm and strengthen our prosperity.
- We are open to diversity and exchange of experiences and ideals , because change can only come from NEW IDEAS.
We must be that change we want to see!
