We are a virtual-first community - all courses will be 100% online. This means that you can join us and participate from anywhere in the world. Once joined, you will gain access to the community platform which will allow you to explore, communicate and interact with other members of the community. Our workshops and collaboration takes place in our online virtual studio.
What will I learn during the onboarding course?
What will I be doing in the community?
At Solve Earth we believe strongly in taking action. You will learn by doing and working in small teams and exploring problem areas that excite you. During the onboarding and beyond we will be running a weekly workshop which will provide you with content, learning and experience from the startup world, problem-scaping, FairShares Commons ecosystem design, sustainability entrepreneurship and innovation.
Our members believe in education through community collaboration, co-creation and co-design. We know there are no gurus and that no individual has all the answers. We primarily learn from each other through action, content creation and knowledge sharing. You will have the freedom to co-create our community and shape the direction of our shared innovation journey together. All of our members have the power to govern their own community by having a voice and real power to shape decision making.
When will the workshops be and what happens if I can't attend?
Currently our workshops are on Monday or Tuesday evenings. (London, UK timezone)
(+ an optional social session on Thursdays)
We understand that not everyone will be able to attend each workshop. In order to complete the onboarding course you must attend at least 50% of the workshops.
What are the costs and what do they get me?
The Solve Earth community membership is £20 per month.
This will provide you with access to the Solve Earth community portal where you will be able to connect with other members of the community, join groups of individuals passionate about exploring and solving similar problem areas, share knowledge and experience, all with the intent of finding your founding team and starting your journey to developing your eco startup.
While your subscription is active you will get access to future workshops and events as well as mentorship and support to help you design, develop and scale your eco startup. The Solve Earth community platform will also contain education materials and knowledge sharing provided by us, other members of the community.

When will the workshops be?
We have not yet decided on specific days and times for the main workshops but as a rough guide we are looking to run 2 x 1.5h sessions a week. Might look like Mon / Thurs evenings, for example.
We do understand that not everyone will be able to attend each session, therefore we will record each session live and make them available to members on the community platform at any time.
