AURIO
Civic. Engineering.
AURIO is a movement and thinking school for social change. I take its policies public and build the technology underneath.
Why AURIO exists
AURIO began with Demain, the documentary that travelled the world filming communities already solving food, energy, economy, democracy, and education. The solutions exist and they travel. AURIO is the thinking school that studies them and puts them to work here.
Here starts from Aisymi, a village of 220 people in Evros, northeastern Greece. That is deliberate. Proof that return is possible has to be built where depopulation is worst.
The same engineering discipline I apply to software, and the same pedagogy I teach at EkoHacks, pointed at civic building. The platform is in build and joins the live work when it ships.
- 220 People in Aisymi, where the proof starts
- 12 Policy pillars, grounded in named thinkers
- 3 Phases, results before support
- 2027 National elections, where the plan runs
Policy
Twelve pillars grouped into four themes, every one grounded in named thinkers and evidence with a track record. The full set is at aurio.party.
- 01 Local Economy Vandana Shiva, Elinor Ostrom, E.F. Schumacher. Food, energy, and every euro kept circulating locally.
- 02 Democracy Murray Bookchin, Esther Duflo, Guy Standing. Participatory budgeting, gender parity, a dignity floor.
- 03 Education & Culture Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich, Amartya Sen. Problem posing education, culture as infrastructure.
- 04 Sovereignty & Health Michael Marmot, international law. Border justice, community clinics, maritime rights.
Where this stands
- Phase 01 Establish Underway now. Events on the ground in Aisymi, results documented before asking for anything.
- Phase 02 Coalition Returnees, local business, village leaders. EU projects funded before any election.
- Phase 03 Campaign By 2027 the record exists and the campaign runs on it.
