Avec, the French word for with, puts forward our belief that global connection is more than global technology. It starts with a foundation that creates an opportunity for “with” based human connection.
Curious–it’s important to have values and standards, but it’s also important to be open to exploring the efficacy and usefulness of those standards when viewed through a wider lens. What I see from my place of viewing may change when I look at the same thing from another place of experience and context.
Considerate–if we will consider what we discover in our open-minded experience, we may find that things we’ve missed or dis-missed may be worthy of our attention and support.
Respectful–when we fill ourselves with respect, we embark on an “additive” rather than “subtractive” approach to life. Age and wisdom have value, but it also complicated them with bias and mistakes. Youth and passion are powerful, but they are susceptible to impulse and prejudice. Every community can find these to respect and to challenge in each other. Canceling is not “with”. Changing together is.
