About CTNW
How it works
Every person or organisation is a drop. When they meet and collaborate, the idea grows: from drop to stream, to river and to ocean.
Drop
A person or an organisation with an idea and the will to act.
Stream
They meet and start collaborating on the same project.
River
Projects connect with each other and share what works.
Ocean
A global network that improves life on the planet.
Trust
Our commitment
It's free, and it will stay that way.
Create The New World doesn't charge for connecting. Joining is free and there are no fees of any kind.
Money goes direct
Donations your project receives don't go through Create The New World. If two projects collaborate financially, the agreement is directly between them.
Every project is reviewed
A person from the team reviews every project before it is published. Over time we'll improve this process with the help of technology.
You can report
Every profile and every project has a report button. Locations are limited to city or region.
Principles and values
What we believe
- 1
Everything the world needs has already been created, it just needs to be brought together.
Together we are more. We believe in the power of the collective.
When projects find each other, they go further.
- 2
Projects without borders
We believe in the power of technology for a better world. It opens a space far wider than the place where we are.
No idea should go unrealised for lack of reach, help or visibility.
- 3
Integrity and transparency
We believe in acting with integrity, with transparency and in doing things well.
- 4
We value differences
We actively listen to others and look at things from their point of view.
- 5
We support those who need it most
We help and support the most vulnerable.
Drop by drop, step by step, we will build the world we deserve.
Our story
Erik-Jan, our founder
He travelled through Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
Everywhere the same scene repeated itself: doors that open, tables that make room, people who offer their time before anyone asks.
That's why he is sure that the people who improve the world already exist, everywhere. Since 2019 the idea has a name: Create The New World.
Our backing
Fiscal host
Stichting
Reculture
Foundation
CTNW is a collective and has no legal entity of its own. Stichting Reculture Foundation, a non-profit public-benefit foundation registered in the Netherlands, is our fiscal host.
Joining is free and we want to keep it that way.
