Third Horizon Earth (3HE) welcomes expressions of interest to join our team. 3HE Guest Curators act as members of the team in finding, developing, and communicating innovative practice in the regenerative development field.

Guest curators are experienced contributors capable of leading an area of intellectual and practice development, connecting 3HE with pioneers in one or multiple aspects of our field through framing thinking, research, and developing contributions of articles, resources, and events.

This role requires sufficient intellectual and practical experience to understand how different undertakings are situated in the regenerative development space, and identify their distinguishing characteristics (i.e. what makes them innovative and different in context and how does it relate to the rest of the field?).  The position requires outreach and interactive skills, editorial ability and inclination. In addition, it may also involve authoring analyses (although the role is principally not about this function).

Working with 3HE management Guest Curators will establish an area of expertise and agree on guidelines for curation. Guest Curators will be recognized on the 3HE website as part of the 3HE team.

• In collaboration with the Executive Director define an area of contribution, priorities, editorial and quality guidelines.
• Engage and build networks of participation in 3HE’s work, including with authors and creators with 3HE.
• Guide the process of content development for their area in collaboration with 3HE management.
• Define, manage, edit, and produce a curated stream of relevant content designed to connect and inspire other pioneers in the field toward effective approaches to regenerative design.

You will be part of 3HE’s ongoing learning process among all contributors on what constitutes innovation in the context of regenerative development. This may include contributing substantively to internal discussions and staying up to date on the evolving field so as to contribute effectively to 3HE’s evolving roles.

Guest Curators have duties involving public exposure and will be recognized on the Website as part of the 3HE team. You will also be asked to sign a volunteer agreement acknowledging the conditions of the association.

All positions at 3HE require:

• An interest in regenerative development and the commitment to helping the pioneers in this emerging field to innovate, and share more effectively, what they have learned.
• A commitment to act in a nonpartisan capacity, incorporating a diversity of views in context, and advancing evidence-based approaches to emerging knowledge and practice.
• Ability to write and speak English, which is our working language. The ability to write and speak other languages is an asset but not required. We value different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and seek to integrate these as strengths and even potential community development opportunities.
• Self-motivation and ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Ability to procure and manage your own technology tools, and to work on websites, databases, presentations, and other programs as needed.

It is helpful to possess:

• Background and/or understanding in regenerative development, sustainable development, circular economy, deep ecology, and related concepts.
• Background and/or understanding of other disciplines that may be of interest, including the roles and functions of business, civil society, finance, government, and academia in diverse practice areas, from ecology and human development to systemic complexity, art and expression, financial instruments, etc.
• Knowledge or experience in how regenerative concepts are viewed and practiced in different cultural, regional, and disciplinary contexts.  

About 3HE organization and workplace

Third Horizon Earth is a Swiss nonprofit association, whose operations and strategies are guided by an independent board of directors, and the daily management of an Executive Director, in a delegated management model.

3HE is a virtual workplace with an international team collaborating across time zones via electronic communications. Our philosophy is to provide a supportive environment for learning with supervision while allowing associates considerable autonomy in achieving 3HE’s objectives, and their personal goals . We expect to learn from associates as well: new approaches, ways of thinking, sources, and tools, and we’ll share our own. We try to create a space for associates to do real work with tangible outcomes.

We also seek a diverse contributor base from within and from outside of Third Horizon Earth.  Diversity and a commitment to listening, learning and civil discourse is part of our culture. We strive for dignity and respect, equity, inclusion, and participation.
