(We are each writing our own version of the manifesto for the purpose of emphasising the idea of the individual.)
Collaboration breeds new ideas, but can be stifling. It is difficult for multiple people to try to speak with the same voice while still retaining what is important to them.
We are not prioritising agreement.
We are acknowledging and accepting that we cannot ever fully understand the language of someone else. To assume that we have fully understood someone is to disregard or ignore any part of their message that we did not take in. We will not unintentionally stifle something by assuming we fully understand it; we will acknowledge the potential for loss in translation.
We value autonomy.
We value the ability to communicate in our own languages.
