Short Summary (se preferir ler em português, veja em baixo do poster amarelo)
IM Magazine is a
solution-focused online magazine, reporting on people and initiatives
that are creating a sustainable, just, healthy and fulfilling
world.
From the very start, this has been a collaborative
independent non-profit project aiming to inspire others to be part of
this “positive (r)evolution”.
How did it all begin? In 2008, a
group of committed journalists, storytellers, designers, photographers
and other experts got together to fulfil a common dream: to bring to light people who are changing lives, minds, hearts, communities, the
world. To tell their story about the work they do.
For five
years, IM Magazine was able to keep all its inspiring content going (and
open to everyone!) with the work of volunteers and a committed talented
team from around the world.
Now we need your help to go on.
http://www.magazineim.com/What We Need & What You GetBeyond
all the written articles, we have been interviewing on video
extraordinary people who are making a difference in the world (from the
unsung heroes to recognised well-known social innovators)!
Have
you ever heard Mark Boyle speak? He lives without money. Or Felix, who planned and planted one million trees at the age of 13. Could you ever
imagine the story of Tasoula? She stopped one of the largest art
trafficking sting operations in European history. Or how Katherine
started fighting human trafficking? Or why Wellington founded Doctors of
Joy? Or the story of the young child who decided to fight the shanty
town violence through music?
These are some of the video interviews that are still in our archive waiting to be edited.
We
have begun to share some of the best moments of our countless
interviews to the public, but after editing all that we have still on
archive, we will have more than 1000 clips to share with you.
We
have estimated that we need something like $100.000 to edit all the
videos, to subtitle them and have them reach even more people. We also need some help to
continue covering the best things taking place in the world, to continue inteviewing inspiring
people, to keep bringing to you innovative solutions that create change
and stories of eye-opening experiences and encounters.
It’s a
win-win situation: you will gain (inspiration, knowledge, great
moments) with our content online and you’ll win wonderful perks with
your contribution.
Message from the founderThe ImpactHow
can we measure our impact when we can't know what one person can do
in a lifetime? Imagine who we can inspire... One person can change the course of history! We have seen it happen many times.
But what people say about IM Magazine?To better understand the scope
of IM magazine and its impact on the world, nothing better than to read
the testimonials of recognized change makers, entrepreneurs,
environmentalists, foundations CEOs, leaders and innovators from around
the world.
“Positive news and inspirational examples are key
catalysts for the kind of social change that is needed to deeply
transform culture. IM Magazine is one of the leading media projects that
provide such culturally transformative news by spreading positive
stories, exploring hopeful innovations, and highlighting the work of
diverse positive change agents in the transition towards a culture of
sustainability and peace”.
Dr. Daniel Wahl, FRSA, International Futures Forum & Bioneers Global“I
have witnessed how a person expands her vision from a single country to
the rest of the world. How she infuses contagious enthusiasm through
stories from all walks of life scaling the spirit of change and
sustainability! IM is the expression of productive change done with
style and joy!”
Pedro Tarak, Co-founder Emprendia and Counselor to the President of AVINA for special projects“It’s
rare to come across digital media that is as compelling and as richly
evocative as IM Magazine. IM Magazine asks piercing questions that get
to the heart of some of the most exciting social ventures of our time.
IM Magazine communicates with great compassion and a clear belief in
people’s ability to change their lives and build a more sustainable and
happier world”.
Jack Heath, Executive Director and Founder of the Inspire Foundation“The
work of IM Magazine is a refreshing antidote to the usual headlines
based on pain, fear and anger. If neuroscientists tell us that stress
and positive energy effect us on a genetic level, then the world needs
more of what IM brings - joy, wonder, curiosity and emergent
possibilities, conveyed through authentic voices and practical wisdom”.
Tom Cummings, CEO Leading Ventures“With
its outstanding articles, its innovative videos and its magnificent
design, IM Magazine focuses on the positive developments, reinforcing
the belief and the hope of democrats and reformers that it can be done,
that there are many pathways to a just, tolerant and responsible society
to which we can all contribute. This is no small accomplishment, as the
challenges we face are high and at times discouraging, and the best
antidote there is hope – an informed hope, one that is solidly built on
good practices and the inspirations successful reformers provide”.
Hauke Hartmann, Senior Project Manager, Transformation Index (BTI), Bertelsmann Foundation“IM Magazine has been constantly committed to push boundaries of knowledge and aesthetics for a sustainability agenda”.
Alejandro Litovsky, Co-founder and Director of the Earth Security Initiative“In
a world rampaged by violence, manipulation and waste, IM Magazine is
one of those springs of creative “positiveness”, documenting and being a
lighthouse for islands of hope that can inspire concerned people
anywhere and anytime”.
Professor Anwar Fazal, Director Right Livelihood College, (Alternative Nobel Prize)“Brilliant,
innovate, inspiring. IM Magazine is singular in its scope with regards
to how we are re-imagining our relationship to each other and the
world”.
Paul Hawken, Founder of the Natural Capital Institute, environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author“I
thank IM Magazine because by reading it I never lose hope and I
continue determined to try to make a positive change, no matter how
small or big it is”.
Martina Cinicola PR, Communication & Fundraising Advisory“IM
Magazine continues to impress us with its inspiring design and
attractive presentation of people, ideas and projects important to a
sustainable development. The work of IM represents a significant
complement to our work in Berlin, Germany, and further to our
international networking. We look forward to the next years of
cooperation!”
Michael A. Lafond, Director of Institute for Creative Sustainability“It’s
important to have a place like IM Magazine where innovation, creativity
and positive change make front page news, where change makers get out
inspired and energized and can share their ideas and dreams with the
world, where people get strengthened and hopeful.”
Maria Zapata, Director of International Operations (Europe) of Ashoka“IM
Magazine is an ambitious endeavour aimed at bringing good ideas to good
people, all for a better world for all. Having personal and
professional experience with IM I warmly recommend this to others too.
The world needs committed citizens like those at IM Magazine”
Hans Henrik Knoop President, European Network for Positive Psychology“I really appreciate and love IM Magazine. It’s a beautiful and powerful thing!!!! Is what I call a Language of Gifts!”
Christopher Kinman, Family and Community Therapy“Every
time, IM Magazine’s journalists manage to perform a brilliant job of
identifying, interviewing and filming some of the most pioneering
innovators.”
Marcello Pallazi, Founder Progressio Foundation“Being
myself convinced of the vital necessity of lasting and more human news,
I’m happy to find echo in IM Magazine. Media can - and should -
contribute to razing awareness in order to achieve a more human world.
I’m dreaming and working on the creation of a worldwide information net
based on the idea of the construction of the future of our societies.
I’m sure IM Magazine will be a valuable partner.”

PESSOAS EXTRAORDINÁRIAS QUE LIBERTAM O SEU POTENCIAL
A IM Magazine vai partilhar histórias que o vão inspirar a seguir os seus sonhos.
Resumo
A IM Magazine é uma
plataforma digital internacional (colaborativa e não lucrativa) criada
em 2008 por uma equipa de jornalistas de diferentes partes do mundo e
especialistas de diferentes áreas que se juntaram para divulgar os
homens e mulheres que estão a contribuir para um mundo melhor, mais
justo, mais equitativo, mais saudável e feliz e (com eles) as soluções
que estão a ser encontradas para os grandes desafios da humanidade a
nível individual e global.
Com grande empenho de voluntários e
uma equipa talentosa, a IM magazine conseguiu durante 5 anos oferecer a
todos estes conteúdos valiosos através de artigos escritos e entrevistas
em vídeo, sem qualquer subscrição ou conteúdos pagos.
Mas agora precisa da sua ajuda para continuar. http://www.magazineim.com/
O que precisamos & O que vai receber
Assim,
neste últimos 5 anos a IM Magazine entrevistou em vídeo pessoas
extraordinárias (dos heróis anónimos aos inovadores sociais mais reconhecidos)
de diferentes continentes cujas histórias e partilha é importante agora
trazer a público. São entrevistas exclusivas, conversas de grande
humanidade, material original que inspira todos aqueles que querem
seguir os seus sonhos e ter impacto positivo.
Faz a tua revolução pessoal é o mote da IM Magazine.
Já
alguma vez ouviu Mark Boyle que vive há anos sem dinheiro? Ou o Félix
que plantou 1 milhão de árvores e só tem 13 anos? Já imaginou a história
de Tasoula que arriscou a sua vida para travar uma das maiores
operações de tráfico de arte na Europa? Ou como Katherine Chon passou a
combater o trafico humano? Ou que história pessoal de Jack Heath está
por trás da Inspire Foundation que luta contra o suicídio adolescente?
Ou conhecer as histórias inspiradoras de quem venceu o cancro de mama e
se tornou repórter da CNN na área da saúde, ou de quem fez da música a
arma contra a violência numa das favelas mais perigosas do Brasil?
São histórias como estas que ainda se encontram em arquivo.
Começámos
já a partilhar online alguns dos melhores momentos das nossas inúmeras
entrevistas, mas depois de editarmos tudo o que ainda se encontra em
arquivo, teremos mais de 1000 clips para partilhar consigo.
Assim,
estimámos por volta de $100.000 para fazer toda esta edição em vídeo,
para legendar em português todo o material, para continuar a fazer a
cobertura “do melhor que se faz no mundo... para mundo melhor”, para
continuarmos a trazer à luz as soluções mais inovadoras e escaláveis que
criam a mudança e histórias inesquecíveis de grande humanidade.
É
uma situação onde só sai a ganhar: ganha a inspiração, o conhecimento e
informação original e exclusiva na IM Magazine e, por contribuir, ganha
prémios como ebooks, online classes, t-shirts...
Mensagem da fundadora, Ana Teresa Silva

podem fazer... por um mundo melhor.
