Understanding the #wellbeingeconomy
Whilst it may be easy to know what is meant by Wellbeing ... what is meant by the Wellbeing Economy?
The Wellbeing Economy is every time we make an economic decision – we work, volunteer, trade, swap, gift, purchase, sell – and in so doing we think about something more than money. That is, we think about our collective wellbeing within that decision. It is the name given to a philosophy we all belong to when we choose to look after each other, and the planet, as well as thinking about monetary gain.
Of course, Cardigan is already an example to be proud of!
Wellbeing Economics is a natural and ready fit for an independent-minded, self-confident town.
There is so much local focus, support and resilience thanks to all the work of existing change-makers; the Town and Community Councils, groupings such as 4CG, PLANED and Ffynnon, and forward thinking, local businesses and voluntary groups, all working hard to make sustainable, holistic living a reality for people.
... so, CardiWELL's job is easy: shine a light on the success stories.
Cardigan is already amazing.
Our role is no more than to join the existing conversation. Sometimes to inform, empower and engage people with ideas! Perhaps to give some new language and narrative to things. But, mostly, to amplify what exists now, model the movement and celebrate the change-makers.
CardiWELL has been founded to;
- walk alongside the Cardigan community raising awareness of Wellbeing Economics as a concept,
- stimulate discussion and debate on what is needed to meet the challenges ahead,
- amplify Cardigan's Wellbeing Economy from the grass-roots,
- help transfer the principles to the everyday activity of individuals and the community, and
- support and work alongside Wellbeing Economy Cymru, the Welsh hub of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance.
