This website has been around since 2008 and provides information on how to take positive action yourself. It has a completely different theme every two years, with new content. Due to the circumstances surrounding Covid-19, we've relaunched this website with new good deeds that are more in line with a new era.
In 2008, deWereldRedden.nl was founded with the mission to save the world by providing video instructions for good deeds and solutions in the ecological and social sectors. Between 2008 and 2010, our website, as an action platform, attracted over a million visitors, and until 2017, we averaged over 100 visitors per day.
Every two years, we've strived to be a pioneer with new content and our creations as toolmakers, idealists, charity hackers, and activists. Our first step was creating 100+ guides on how to do good deeds, which, together on paper and through digital registration, were completed by 13,000 participants.
We wanted more and therefore founded the foundation Terra Futura on, to reach 100,000. A next step was to build more than 10 apps and websites to inspire new and different positive actions.
Starting in 2011, we sensed that "the internet" was becoming polluted, so we began working between offline and online. We launched 11 social campaigns and approximately 45 charity actions, using over 100 different tools we developed ourselves. As this number continued to grow, and the number of charity projects also grew, we gave more and more components custom names and non-twitter hashtags. Tools are social inventions with a behavioral component, enticing people to perform a good deed.
In 2012 we founded Tourist Save The World, and in 2014 Terra Tours To organize charity tours and activity programs for groups where participants collaboratively solved societal problems in elegant, useful, or kind ways. In 2015/2016, the Revaluta Bank was established to provide money for people on a euro diet, and we started developing apps focused on charity or inclusive appreciation of others. Creating an ambitious digital Complementary Currency system without experience or a concrete budget proved too ambitious a dream in the end.
In 2017 we started with Driven Netherlands, in collaboration with Contemporary YouthTo organize events, support groups, and outreach activities focused on self-empowerment, for cases of addiction, eating disorders, burnout, stress, panic, overstimulation, sleep problems, low mood, and depression. This proved to be something we consider so important and useful that it gradually overshadowed other projects. We have therefore taken many of our previous initiatives offline, though you can still read about them on the website of the foundation that manages deWereldRedden.nl: Terra Futura.
In 2020, the Covid-19 virus so deeply affected global society, including Dutch society, that we re-established the action platform to share hope and opportunities to do something kind in times of Corona.
