It’s up to us

Every day, more people are realising that the creation of a better, more equitable world is up to them.

Governments have a role to play, but a different effort is needed, with well-being at its core rather than profits. With more bottom up synergy and less hierarchy.

The Great Citizens Movement aims to facilitate this transition. By helping people create their own vision and translate it into a working reality – in a way that suits them best.

You can start by reading and signing the  Declaration.

The Great Citizens Declaration was inspired by The Declaration of Independance (1776)

“Let’s make the world a better place,
one step at a time!”

Michaéla Schippers

The Great Citizens Movement was founded by Michaéla Schippers and Marloes Vis van Heemst. Prof. Schippers research interest covers goalsetting, team reflexivity, team performance, academic performance as well as ikigai (i.e. purpose in life), and life goals. She coined the term “life crafting” as a way to optimize performance and happiness.

She is also the founder of ikigaitv.nl, a platform for positive psychology.

Life crafting and study success. Do you want to bridge the gap between students from diverse backgrounds and make education more inclusive? Would you like to learn as a practitioner how to implement life crafting for your clients?

“Michaela Schippers is the only person proposing a truly decentralized approach. She is bringing back agency to the people telling them to envision the ideal future as they see it and helping them set goals for themselves that are within their capabilities, their talents & their circle of influence. It’s not about fame.. It’s not about the spotlight.. it’s about individuals crafting their future.”
