PIE Participatory Framework

6 sectors of Partners In Empowerment (PIE) & the unique roles we play

Why PIE?

• Empowering all voices to be heard,  PIE can be used as needed by government agencies for civic engagement or by community members as a self-organizing tool.

• Rather than focusing on target issues such as health, economics, or technology, PIE emphasizes peoples', organizations', and businesses' ROLES based on what each has to contribute based on locally determined needs;

• PIE roles are universal and can be applied to any challenge a community or region faces, advancing a whole-system approach to a sustainable world;

• As it is complimentary to issue or needs oriented wheels, such as the 12 point  Peace Room  model forth by   Barbara Marx-Hubbard;    PIE promotes collaboration across social & environmental movements.

The following six  sectors are the foundation of the PIE Framework, Network & 1PIE.org:

• Artists in Action - Visual, performing,  or  poets   harnessing  their   creative   power   for   positive social  change.   "Artists speak with integrity and the world listens".
• For-Impact Organizations – NGOs, Foundations, and Government Agencies that exist to advance    Social, Economic, and/or Environmental impact.

• Educational Institutions – Schools, research groups,    and their leaders advancing evidence based knowledge, and innovation for a sustainable world.

• Sustainable Businesses - For-profit entrepreneurs, investors and  agencies harnessing market forces to create an economy that honors the web of life.

• Responsible Media Groups – Journalists, Communications Platforms, News Agencies,   and Events   upholding truth in media    to support an informed public.

Uniting PIE from the ground up is the foundation of EW's  7 Stages to Sustainability  approach &  community development education  tools.
