Mission & vision statement

col · lec · tive (noun)

​

"A collective is a group of individuals who work together on a common project without relying on internal hierarchies... In collectives, leadership happens naturally and fluidly. All skills and knowledge are shared, not hoarded by an elite. This means that duties and responsibilities can be rotated among a collective’s members and that they can be revoked if anyone starts abusing their power. This horizontal structure is a dynamic and vital way to constantly increase member-empowerment." (source)
