OLBIOS NETWORK FOR ACTION
THE JOURNAL
Imagine a world where where people with impactful action and solutions take centre stage.
Where problem solvers and community changers are championed, and where negativity and despair is overshadowed by the millions of people and projects which demonstrate that we can create a better world by promoting and showcasing solutions rather than problems.
The OLBIOS JOURNAL is the first platform putting the spotlight in that world, through its hundreds of Correspondents in over 160 countries, in seven languages and special editions, covering all sectors of social action, anywhere in the world.

THE NEXT STEPS
A second astonishing development has emerged in recent years : this is the phenomenal rise in the number of people that want to become involved in socially oriented initiatives (94% of millennials according to a recent Gallup research). Yet, only a small part manages to become actively engaged. Just imagine the tremendous gain in social capital if all these people who have the desire to enter social action had for once all the necessary tools to do it.</p
In an attempt to address this most important of issues, we are also working on the design of a Social Network and a Funding Platform that will provide anyone with the partners and the resources that they need to make a real difference.
BECOME A FUNDING MEMBER
Your involvement is vital in the realization of this vision. As an independent project open to all, we at OLBIOS would prefer to cover our funding needs through the participatory support of everyone who believes in OLBIOS’s mission, before seeking any other financial support.
This is why we have also created a small selection of gifts for our funding members.
