Communities and Consortia

SoL is a network of communities of inquiry and practice focused on concepts, tools, and methodologies that create the capacity for profound innovation and change.

Communities are organized around interest areas such as the Sustainability Consortium and the Youth Education Network; geography, for example, SoL France and SoL Sweden; and membership constituencies, which include our organizational, consultant, research, and connections members.

All communities are committed to SoL’s principles, but vary in terms of focus, activities, and membership criteria. SoL’s minimal infrastructure is designed to provide basic coordination among the communities while allowing for easy movement of people and information throughout the network.
