A SHORT DESCRIPTION<br />

PROJECT IDEAS<br />

Figueira da Foz<br />

The basis for founding Future Balloons has been the rapid<br />

development of information technology and all applications in this<br />

field. The information society was announced years ago - and it<br />

does not really mean personal knowledge. Rather the information<br />

society of nowadays is rather aware of searching techniques in<br />

search engines, wikipedia and social networks. Today information<br />

- in whatever quality shall not be discussed here - is accessible in<br />

nearly zero time from any place on the world where internet is<br />

accessible. In our opinion personally stored information and<br />

knowledge is just necessary up to a critical amount. From this<br />

amount on it may grow with creativity, may be strengthened by<br />

application, may be spread by teaching. The "understanding<br />

society" shall be the next step, taking the personal and society<br />

knowledge as basis. Understanding all processes, interactions,<br />

connections of subjects. Understanding the backgrounds and<br />

opportunities of daily life decisions and events. Understanding, or<br />

at least trying to understand other people. Together with<br />

educated, motivated and responsible friends and partners, Future<br />

Balloons is trying to assist in the society transition from the<br />

information society to the understanding society.<br />

We aim to inovate with ideas about the way organizations of social<br />

economy can contribute to the change towards a more sustainable<br />

economic system, overcoming the challenges of crisis.
