The DC and what to learn

The Durban Collective was always a project aimed at investigating the practical implications of the collective system, as well as the kinds of natural barriers that streamline and 'efficientise' processes, preventing naturally sustained synergy.

Certainly we can agree that the collective system of self governance is a very useful shape, allowing the core idea to be advanced through the individual And the collective strengths and synergies. Inherent flaws in the collective system also meant that processes took much longer than needed, and at times consumed lots of energy to keep just running.

Evolution of this idea and model sees more collaborativ consulting and co-creation via mobile and web applications, (cheap efficient access to the Net is paramount here), and the core of the collective being more secure and successful in Their sectors and industries. Certainly, the admin teams needs a stipend, which could be supplied by a communal pool or special marketed events.


THE DC

As representation of the idea that Creativity and FreeThinkers hold the key to the approaching evolutionary step-up the world seems on course for, the Durban Collective was roused together by the combined intent and actions of a small group of the cities' music industry players and guardians. By sitting in a single space and sharin their own obsevations and potential solutions, the agreement was reached amongst the heads to work actively together to strengthen the Durban Music Scene.



Several actualities arose out of these interactions, an online magazine, several performances and concerts and the documents contained in this blog. Both the constitution and the Working Document were creatednot only as a solution but also as a template for other regions,creative fields or cultures to learn from this experience and grow




MAy these ideas and words inspire you to start your own collective, or join forces with an action group close 2 you
