Our Organisational Structure
We organise MOVE inspired by [sociocratic] principles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociocracy) in individual Circles, which are semi-autonomous and able to make decisions.
Furthermore, temporary action Circles can be founded at any time, which can consist of any combination of people and may decide about fundamental and cross-Circle values and things.

infra@move-utopia.de
Goals
- We make sure that the required infrastructure is available
Location: Our goal is to find a place where at least 1500 people can find relaxed meeting space & living space for ~1 week.
- Electricity: We supply stages, kitchen, workshop rooms, sanitary facilities and lighting (installation) with electricity as required. We would like to avoid aggregates, but if necessary we can fall back on them. We'll try to find an external group that provides a supply with photovoltaics.
Water: The kitchen, the sanitary area and drinking water points are also supplied with drinking water according to demand and certified.
Showers: There will be shower facilities. To what extent (warm/cold /...) depends on the factors of location.
Waste water: Without knowledge about the place we cannot make a statement about the waste water.
Toilets: We're creating some compost toilets for the model function. Further toilets are selected according to the conditions of the place as ecologically as possible (compost or water). Under special circumstances (e.g. wheelchair accessible toilets) we also use chemical toilets if we are not practising other solutions.
Waste: We wish that as little waste as possible accumulates (no use of disposable crockery etc.). For the unavoidable garbage we provide a separation in yellow bag, compostable waste, paper, glass, residual garbage, deposit.
Tents:** We would like to offer a large central location, such as a circus tent. Furthermore, we provide the central structures (kitchen, info tent,...). Tents of the barrios/groups are, if possible, delegated to them.
- Stages: We hope that stages from external groups will be provided by Programme Circle. If this is not possible, we will try to find another solution.
Internet:** We will provide internet at a central place (and if necessary further on request of the Programme Circle) for organizational purposes. We will only set up public Internet access under particularly favourable circumstances.
- On-site communication: We will provide radio equipment
further things:** we'll bring printers
