InCo movement

Introduction to the contents of the Manifesto
"Identifying significant events and projects, becoming aware of their importance in time and space, critically assessing their advantages and challenges, capturing responses of different stakeholders, proposing initiatives and future activities. These were our guidelines in drafting
the second issue of our annual publication, the InJo-InCo Manifesto 2009.
All of the above is also included in the principles of innovation journalism, from which the InCo movement as a business-civil initiative was initiated and grew into wider innovation communication projects interconnecting different stakeholders of the innovation space based on dialogue. This publication is a result of this active involvement.
The title “Manifesto” itself demands action or manifestation, thus we start by proposing initiatives for an innovative breakthrough of Slovenia drafted based on the philosophy, dialogue and experiences of the InCo movement in the field of innovation communication and
journalism in 2009. These initiatives are accompanied by commitments the InCo movement will fulfil in 2010 and which we believe will raise awareness about creativity and innovation in Slovenian space.
All initiatives and commitments of the InCo movement are based on projects and events
implemented and playing a significant role within the scope of InCo movement’s operation in 2009. Drafting of the presentation was based on the structure of the InCo model of innovation space stakeholders; therefore, we have divided the projects by individual stakeholders (vertical level), first presenting the key projects implemented at the horizontal level and establishing connections among the stakeholders. In addition to Slovenian projects, we also included international projects and events in which we participated in 2009.
Naturally, this presentation would not be successful without integration and cooperation. The
InCo movement’s projects are co-created by initiators, partners, members and supporters of the InCo movement as well as participants at InJo-InCo events to whom we owe great gratitude. We have captured a glimpse of our integration by presenting statements by numerous co-creators of the movement, who wrote their opinions about the projects and events in 2009 and initiatives for the future – their statements are the core of the Manifesto.
We hope that awareness of these projects, and especially the proposed initiatives and commitments will serve as inspiration to everyone active in the field of creativity and innovation for we believe Slovenia has the potential to become an innovative, wisdom-based
society.
We hope the InCo vibrations will continue to expand through dialogue and integration."
