How do we know what we hope for is possible? How do we build a community that can work backward from the most inspirational examples that could possibly be drawn upon? There are many degrees of positive deviance. Our narrative of the Great Library of Positive Deviance is that we can look at the collective experience to push the limits of what we realistically hope for and work backward from through curating positive deviance. Please join us for an exploration into the future we know is possible. Positive deviance can occur at the personal scale, at the family scale, at the neighborhood scale, at the social innovation scale, at the scale of a city or a bio-region. Positive deviance can occur in any sector and deviance can be positive for any of a diverse number of reasons. Do you have examples that have shaped your systems change journey and that the world should learn from? Help us approach positive deviance as a protocol to profoundly improve “solar punk” feasibility to help us reach such a bright future. Collaborate to help us apply positive deviance to universal design challenges for systems change. How might we co-create the Great Library of Positive Deviance together and evolve this concept together?
