Abstract
Technologies are products of the culture in which they emerge, and they guide the emergence of new cultures. New culture and new tools are coevolutionary. Therefore, to foster the emergence of prosocial cultures, we’ll need prosocial technology. This is the aim of digital community platform Hylo, which is a free, open-source, non-profit coordination tool for purpose-driven groups.
In this conversation, Hylo’s co-founders will share their vision for the platform and the underlying theory of change that animates this project. They will focus on the role of ProSocial on guiding the team internally and externally: in product development, stakeholder engagement, and as a fundamental component of the culture of ecological stewardship Hylo aims to nurture.
Can prosocial technology help generate cultural change that transforms human society into an enduring ecological civilization? Together, we’ll explore how prosocial technology and cultural evolution can support each other in reciprocal relationship.
