Being Woke
If you are woke, you understand what is going on and why it is going on. You may be woke related to your social or work environment, or the communities, groups, and organizations your are engaged with. You may be woke related to a societal sections, issue, development. Whatever it is, being woke makes you an important member of the community this relates to. Being woke is a necessity in today's diverse, fast-changing, and polarized society facing threats from any corners and requiring many challenging decisions that determine the future of your community and all of us.

Getting Woke
Getting woke is a process that requires a dialog with members of your community and beyond. Individiual intelligence is not sufficient to overcome your cognitive biases that determine the lense trough which you perceive the world. Only by tapping into community intelligence — and by helping to enrich this intelligence — can we real get woke.
Staying Woke
Being woke is not the end. It's the beginning of a continuous process that helps us to stay woke, to be upfront with the developments in your community and the environment this community is embedded in.
