Archive
We want this website to be alive and ever-changing together with current happenings on this planet. Hence we will keep adding businesses, initiatives and organisations to the main website while removing previous ones to avoid overwhelm and overly long and complex pages. In the archive you can continue to access what has been removed from the main website plus what is currently on the website. You can search the entire platform by country, by category or by category and country. We will do our best to keep all links up to date. If you find a link which no longer works, we would appreciate if you can take the time to send us an email and let us know. It’s a community project and will become so even more in the future. Thank you so much for being part of it!
