The intention is the creation of a website as a platform for the realisation of youth empowerment activities, within the Alpujarras, with a home-base at the Subud centre. It is proposed that these empowerment activities will combine three components, two of which already exist elsewhere (Yes Quest and Human Force), with the third component being a new innovation, to be known as "Youth Veterans", whereby older people will have the opportunity to re-generate themselves, by taking on the role of mentors whilst engaged as equals with young people, in the realisation of various projects.

Youth Quest Alpujarra is envisaged to be open to Subud Youth from around the world, as well as their non-Subud friends. The long-term well-being and societal value of the Subud centre will depend significantly on the re-generative capacities of the young generations.

About Subud Enterprise

A website dedicated to understanding the distinction that Bapak made between an enterprise of a Subud member or members, and a "Subud enterprise"; which he advocated as a way for Subud members to synergise their talents, through cooperation arising and guided from within, and thereby generate surplus income to fund activities and projects which fulfil the 10 aims of Subud - in the fields of youth empowerment, culture, health, and charity (i.e. an integration with the other Wings of Subud); plus the operational needs of the Subud organisation, where the nature of these necessary functions means they are unable to generate the financial means to sustain their operation, never-mind any financial surplus.

The present economic parlance in terms of "for profit" and "not for profit" enterprise does not enable a clear enough perception that within human society there needs to be a place for "non-profitable investment", which expects no financial return, and is purely a cost-centre, because these kind of activities are located in the regenerative part of the economy, such the raising and development of a child from its birth till the time when it can contribute effectively to the generating (and/or regenerating) part of the economy. Without the regenerational part of the economy, the generational part becomes subject to economic entropy and obsolescence. Both generational and regenerational parts of the economy are meant to be complementary equals of the whole economy, and can be pictured in the form of the Chinese symbol for yin and yang.

The purpose of this website is to be a collaborative research platform to produce an actionable resource for the establishment and operation of Bapak's original intention regarding his vision for Subud enterprise.
