Concopia is a new term playing on the notions of
Copia, Concordia and Utopia:
-
Copia
The latin term for abundance that also refers to a the abundance of knowledge, insights, vocabulary and quotes we can draw on to enrich our conversations. Copia is also an essential source for innovation and connecting surprising dots.
Concopia revives this abundance in our conversations. -
Concordia
The latin term for peaceful coexistence between individuals, groups or nations. We want to emphasize the need to have conversations that contain our many differences in cultures, beliefs and interests.
Concopia creates a space for respectful divergence. -
Utopia
An imaginary or idealized society. Sadly utopian ideas are often dismissed as impossible or unrealistic. But to rethink our world we need to stretch our minds and dare shoot for ideas that are truly thrilling and enchanting.
Concopia encourages us to make our Utopias come true.
