Sharism Manifesto
Sharism Manifesto
Sharism is more than a philosophy—it's a living principle that drives collaboration, openness, and the ethical sharing of knowledge and creativity. In a world divided by borders, ownership, and restrictions, Sharism invites us to co-create a new model of participation and prosperity.
We believe that our identities are not built through isolation, but through exchange. Every idea shared multiplies in value. Sharing defines us as active, engaged members of humanity.
2. Knowledge Grows Through Sharing
The more knowledge is shared, the more it flourishes. In Sharism, information is not power to be hoarded—it's a light to be spread. Openness creates opportunities, innovations, and collective intelligence.
3. Creativity is a Commons
Art, science, and culture are born from countless inspirations and contributions. We reject the myth of the lone genius. Creativity is a flow, not a possession. Sharism honors the remix, the collaboration, and the transparency of source.
4. Platforms Must Empower Participation
Digital platforms should be designed to enable access, contribution, and remixing. We support open standards, free and open-source tools, and decentralized infrastructures that give users control, not confinement.
5. Recognition Over Restriction
We advocate for systems that reward contributors rather than restrict audiences. Attribution, visibility, and ethical reciprocity should replace paywalls and punitive licensing.
6. Sharism is a Social Responsibility
In a world facing climate, economic, and social challenges, sharing is not just a right—it’s a duty. By sharing knowledge, skills, and resources, we empower communities and protect the future.
7. Sharism is Not Theft
Sharing is voluntary. Sharism opposes piracy that undermines creators, but also opposes artificial scarcity and exploitation through monopolies. Ethical sharing respects creators while enhancing public value.
8. Economic Models Must Evolve
Sharism inspires business models that benefit all stakeholders—creators, users, and platforms alike. From open crowdfunding to revenue-sharing ecosystems, we promote regenerative and fair economies.
9. Education Must Be Open
Access to learning is a human right. Sharism supports open educational resources (OER), collaborative learning, and the use of Phygital platforms to bring education to everyone, everywhere.
10. Sharism Is a Movement
Sharism is a call to action. It is not just something we believe in—it’s something we do. By living Sharism, we create a more inclusive, generous, and innovative world.
Join us. Share more. Build better. Together.
