Sumus

SUMUS is a philanthropic association established in Venice, promoting co-creation among citizens, associations, institutions, and businesses, for an inclusive and sustainable society in harmony with «the living beings» rooted in higher deeper awareness.
SUMUS is supported by the King Baudoin Foundation, it is a member of the International Private Committees for the Safeguarding of Venice, an official partner of the New European Bauhaus, and part of Europa Nostra.

OUR VISION
Shifting to a regenerative, environmentally sustainable, socially equitable, and economically viable paradigm that harnesses the intelligence of nature and is in harmony with life.

OUR MISSION
“To rethink Venice, in order to rethink the world”

OUR PHILOSOPHY
The culture of and: inclusive, apolitical, universal, resolutely positive.

Venice has been a planetary meeting point, connecting humanity beyond borders, ever since its foundation. It is an emblematic symbol showcasing the questions of civilizational decline, but also of courage and resilience. Venice has all the elements to be a city-laboratory where to holistically test ideas and solutions for crafting together a better future. We believe that by rethinking the way we live in Venice, we can rethink the way we live in the rest of the world.

By creating an international think-tank and local do-tank, we intend to be the matrix for the creation of a fairer, more inclusive, more harmonious, economically viable and ecologically sustainable society. A place to practice optimism and empathy; where the community can gather to cooperate across industries and become aware of their unique purposes, values, and talents; a place showcasing what brings value to the local community, and the lifestyle that supports it.

THINK-TANK
A place to keep on cultivating and evolving our Vision, Values, Methods, Tools, and Partnerships.
