The key objective of Eurosense is to buils the Sensor Network, a web of comuunities that actively use the tools described in this program to promote collective action.
The best way to understandwhat Eurosense does is to browse the communities and projects that compose our Sensor Network. Browse the subsections using the dropdown menu on the left : some are ongoing communities, others are specific projects or time bounded events.
The network can be described as an Impact Network :
Impact networks are differentiated from these forms of networking by their focus on shifting systemic conditions
and by the diverse backgrounds of their members.
Impact networks are a good choice to advance change when you are working in complex systems, with a diverse set of actors and there is an interest and openness to try something different. Impact networks can also be a good choice to support and connect changemakers already engaged in systemic change and reform.

Eusosense is a selfmanaged organization aiming at building a large decentralized european network
To have a general idea of what impact networs are, you can look at this paper which explores the promising practice of impact networks, including examples of impact networks from around the world and how these networks work. It also shares insights from the Good Death Impact Network (GDIN), a network TACSI have been involved in convening since 2018, and the four network practices that our GDIN work has helped us put into practice: togetherness, in-betweenness, emergence, and wellbeing.
These practices create a fertile ground for shifting systems by cultivating deep, authentic connections, a shared understanding of systems and collective intelligence.
Our hope is that this paper helps you consider if an impact network could help you make better progress on the systemic challenges you’re facing.
