What is meet&map?
Meet & Map is an NGO dedicated to ethical collaboration, education, and international cooperation.
Guided by the Humanitarian Compass Method™, we design spaces and projects that connect people and organisations with purpose — fostering human-centred, culturally respectful and sustainable partnerships.
We believe that meaningful impact comes not only from action, but from how we relate, collaborate and care in the process.
And what do we propose?
- PARTNERSHIPS: Building alliances across sectors is essential for a more sustainable and interconnected society.
We design ethical frameworks, methodologies, and curated spaces that support meaningful, purpose-driven collaboration. WORKSHOPS: Our educational workshops are part of a structured programme based on a 13-topic matrix, exploring areas such as Social Equity, Global Education, Sustainability, Health from a systemic perspective, and Culture and Art as identity. Each experience combines practical tools with critical reflection, aligned with our Education Area.
- COMMUNITIES: Every initiative holds the potential to create or strengthen a community — and every community can connect, collaborate and grow with others.
We offer facilitation and engagement formats that nurture these connections in creative, inclusive and sustainable ways.
Since its founding in December 2014, Meet & Map has developed diverse projects across sectors. Our 10th Anniversary Report, presented on December 17, 2025, offers an overview of key initiatives, including work with circular economy entrepreneurs, the Mediterranean region, and women-focused programs.

The four areas of Meet & Map — Education and Cooperation as foundational pillars, and Youth Atlas and Feminarum as dedicated orientations — are interconnected within the Humanitarian Compass™ framework. Together, they bring diverse topics into a multidisciplinary field that reflects the deep interdependence shaping today’s world.
The Education area of Meet & Map is where the Humanitarian Compass Method™ is embodied as learning, awareness, and capacity-building for systemic change. We approach education as a living process that connects inner transformation with global responsibility.
Concordia, the Cooperation area of Meet & Map, supports organizations and initiatives committed to ethical collaboration and shared responsibility. Guided by the Humanitarian Compass Method™, we design spaces for alignment, trust, and meaningful partnerships beyond competition.
Feminarum – Women’s Map is the Meet & Map area devoted to women’s realities, wisdom, and collective strength, guided by the Humanitarian Compass Method™. It is a space for recognition, healing, and cooperation among women across cultures and generations..
Youth Atlas is Meet & Map’s space dedicated to young people as active contributors to the present and architects of the future. Through the Humanitarian Compass Method™, we listen, accompany, and co-create with youth rather than prescribing fixed paths.
Initiatives
With International Education
An Erasmus+ KA1 Youth Exchange hosted in the ecovillage of Hopeland, Greece, where participants from seven countries came together in a rural, technology-free environment. The experience created space for deep reflection, shared learning, healing practices, and diverse artistic expressions, fostering meaningful connection and personal growth.
On Community Leadership and Cooperation
Meet & Map was a co-founding core member of the European Lead by Nature Network, a community of around 30 youth organizations across 12 countries. Recognizing the potential of collective action, we helped build this network in collaboration with the European Commission and field experts, strengthening cooperation and shared impact.
Creating Multidisciplinary Gatherings
Sònia Llorens joined us as a special guest at a multidisciplinary event hosted by Meet & Map at the Federation of Associations and Business Sectors of the Maresme Region (FAGEM), Barcelona. As Director of the Chair of Circular Economy in Mataró, she contributed valuable insights on sustainable transformation and cross-sector collaboration.
Before founding the association, its founding members were actively involved in pioneering initiatives exploring new social paradigms. These initiatives brought together therapists, activists, thinkers, representatives of ancestral cultures, eco-communities, and social and environmental movements. Emerging at national level in 1997 and 2001, they represent the true origins of Meet & Map.
It was through these experiences that we recognized the essential role of multidisciplinary complementarity in fostering life, wellbeing, and systemic health. The initiatives included interviews, workshops, and events featuring activists and speakers such as Vandana Shiva and Satish Kumar, as well as communities such as Findhorn (Scotland) and Arcadia (Girona), among many others.
A unifying framework to ensure that collaboration does not lose its humanity, and that ethics remain a practice, not a label.
The Humanitarian Compass™ emerged from the need to hold these two worlds together: the inner world of people, emotions, and mental well-being
and the outer world of structures, partnerships, power, and impact.
