The US journal, the TIME, published a remarkable dossier in its March, 23, 2009 issue. The dossier, called '10 ideas changing the world right now' investigates possible changes responding to the global economy remake. 'When the old answers don't fit the new questions, that's when ideas happen', and this is also what we want the IMAGINE initiative to be about.

Three ideas out of the ten especially fit in the IMAGINE concept.

The Norwegian Ideas Bank Foundation presents an interesting website. The website hosts a database of ideas. More precisely, these ideas are innovative projects that promote environmental sustainability, global justice and/or democratic community development.

Most of these examples are from Denmark, Norway or Sweden. They involve various actors, mainly at the local level - including municipalities, businesses, community groups and individual "fiery spirits".
