Making the voices and interests of non-human life part of organisational decision-making.

The Zoöp model is an organisational model for cooperation between human and non-human life that safeguards the interests of all zoë (Greek for ‘life’). The Zoöp model makes the interests of nonhuman life part of organisational decision making.
In this first episode of Bauhaus of the Seas Sails, Nuno Jardim Nunes (Instituto Superior Técnico) and Klaas Kuitenbrouwer (Nieuwe Instituut) discuss this model and how it can help organizations become more ecologically responsible by having a direct perspective of how their decisions impact other species and ecosystems as a whole when making decisions.

Bauhaus of the Seas Sails aims to foster local communities in coastal areas to achieve a sustainable transition through an intergenerational, intercultural and interspecies approach by supporting eight mission-oriented pilot projects (a.k.a “Drops”) developed in four European aquatic ecosystems.
Drops are focused and localised initiatives developed at the territorial level, which aim to generate a ripple effect. Under the drop, ripple, wave metaphor, this effect extends from the demonstrator pilot level to the city, region, national and continental levels, thus demonstrating how each pilot is scaled and replicated across time and space. From April to December, we’re partnering up with Bauhaus of the Seas to get to know these projects.
