Why & Who

In a nutshell, Pourquoi pas ?! exists to contribute to making our world a better place. By shaping our interactions towards ourselves, other human beings, other species and the environment, we can collaborate to find sustainable solutions for all.

In detail, there are always several reasons why.

exists because the world has all it needs, it’s just a matter of relating and revealing people, ideas, methods, minds… in a word, pollinating it, like bees. Their role is crucial, yet all they do is to pollinate what already exists. We do the same with cultures. Nothing else than biomimicry!

exists because the world is full of leaders and organisations which can make a positive impact. They just need to be empowered, inspired and challenged. There are so many super-heroes around us, they deserve our support, to give more impact to their social/environmental contribution.

exists because knowledge is equally needed in all parts of the world and in all social environments. Here is why, like Robin Hood, solidarity is an important value to us. We make our services available to those who deserve it, no matter where on Earth they are and how much they can invest.
