1. Module introduction

In our introductory module, "Into the Methods," we embark on a transformative journey where networks cross their roads with design. By integrating Social Permaculture and Design Thinking, we forge a powerful framework that merges sustainability, innovation, and storytelling. 

Social Permaculture lays the foundation, focusing on sustainable living and community resilience. Meanwhile, Design Thinking fuels creativity and problem-solving, emphasizing empathy and innovation.

Throughout our exploration, we highlight the interconnectedness of these methodologies. From holistic problem-solving to fostering resilience and collaboration, the synergy between Social Permaculture and Design Thinking offers a roadmap for sustainable innovation.

As we delve deeper into each approach, we encourage embracing diversity to unlock new pathways for collective transformation. Join us as we navigate this dynamic intersection of methodologies, harmonizing people, planet, and purpose.

We are aware that this does not exhaust the working methodology and there are many approaches to working with networks. We propose this type of view, which adds to already existing methods, such as CLIPS or the five dimensions of ecovillage sustainability. We will briefly describe these and provide useful links where to find more data for those who do not know them yet.
