Dreaming about MetaSpace Tanzania

What we are dreaming about......

It's still a long way to go, but we are getting closer to go into business with the ideas we have developed around Metafari and MetaSpace. An important step was taken a couple of days ago when I sent in the application for name change of my Swedish company to MetaSpace AB. Yesterday there was a very pleasant surprise in the company account - Tax return money!

Suddenly I could start planning to return to Tanzania in January to move our plans forward toward a business around our ideas. MetaSpace Tanzania... Here is where we are at the moment..

MetaSpace (Tanzania) ltd is a company, jointly owned by Leif Josefsson and Rafael ole Moono – through our organisations Metaspace AB and Imusut e Purka

The purpose of the company is to offer spaces for leaders, consultants and business owners, designed for creative conversation and learning, to create new perspectives, deep and wide insights. We achieve this through journeys, meetings, projects and coaching.

In our work we use observations of nature, culture and the world around us, decoding the meaning of what we normally don’t see, but exists before our eyes.

These are life journeys off the beaten tracks, learning from metaphors of nature in collaboration with the wisdom and philosophy of local communities, as well as the different perspective of the participants

Values

A sound business – We are a commercial venture with a purpose to bring income to the owners and collaboration partners, and to other stakeholders.

Learning – not helping. The aim is to facilitate learning in order to make long term solutions possible. We do not believe in short term relief, aid, which puts the parties on different levels, and in dependency.

Equality –The responsibility from all sides to create a reasonable balance in responsibilities, financial outcome, psychological balance and the security of the partners. Maximum care is taken that every step in the process is managed on equal terms. Openness and honesty is a requirement to participate in this venture.

Sustainability – The design of our programs should always aim at having long lasting effect to all participating parties. The implementation of our journeys are done as ecofriendly as possible. We are traveling and meeting under conditions that is in alignment with, and respect for, the conditions of the local people.

Diversity – The value of being different is in the core of our programs. “Awareness for all” True diversity creates a foundation for learning, both in the groups that journey and the people we meet.

Corporate Social Responsibility – Every step of the process is done in a responsible way, and care is taken to see that the maximum amount of income stays in Tanzania. Our aim is to make mutual benefit from different aspects of technology and knowledge transfer in connection with our activities. This means that if we see a possibility for development, at least offer our view on the possibility
