Stakeholders’  “Active”  Initiatives                                                                                                                                          .   In our presentation to the Chancellor, deans and top faculty of Dwijendra University during the case study being carried out by the ASEAN Center for Biodiversity, Ms. Kim Calderon, academic researcher from the Development Academy of the Philippines and a delegate in the intergovernmental Asian Productivity Organization Agrotourism Workshop who is currently doing research on sustainability, “WOW Sustainable Dynamics is not just one of the top sustainable projects, but the best project in sustainability” that she came across in her research here in Southeast Asia. WOW sustainable and wellness initiative is developed at a regional level here in Bali from Sayan to Penjangan; the largest and most prosperous area in Gianyar Region, just outside the internationally-acclaimed village of Ubud. WOW Initiatives are composed of the following stakeholders and efforts:

. Tri Hita Karana Bali Yayasan (NGO) . Sustainability development in the areas of permaculture community projects; based on Hindu philosophy for human centered designs supporting the harmony with nature and god. Tri Hita Karana is WOW Bali’s local sponsor. It supports Wow Bali projects in the area of

polyculture development.

Mansion Ubud . Hotel and resort in Sayan Road considered to be in the “five star” hotel and resort row, which includes resorts such as the Four Season. The Mansion Hotel is dedicated to WOW Dynamic Wellness vision and alternative eco-development in the areas of “new celebrations,” “edutainment” conferences, services, tours and clients’ activities. The Mansion Ubud is also home of WOW Bali projects through mutualism and collaboration in our “dynamic wellness” development and So-Ho Entrepreneur development.

This will include hosting and inviting

Kerta village, 30 minutes away from Ubud is one of three certified organic sites in Indonesia that is using biogas for house hold energy and bio-

fertilizer for all farming practices. Our stakeholders via this collaboration are Tri Hita Karana Yayasan for the development of polyculture programs and The Mansion for support in ecotourism; plus educational resources from Dwijendra University. This will be the largest regional development formed through a collaborative effort for sustainable community’s development that is directed and engaged in by the Generations youths of this village.

Resort in Ubud, visitors from our WOW International Network will experience best of both “sustainable” worlds on their trip to Bali: a five-star eco-resort and holistic and sustainable eco-village. Bindu’s dedication to showcasing our internationally recognized “human biodiversity” framework and how it can regenerate an eco-lifestyle and holistic participation will be the most dynamic efforts in sustainability. Current  Leading  Project  &  Developments Sustainable Dynamic Tour WOW Sustainable Dynamics International Collaboration Initiative is one of the projects of WOW Team based in Bali, Indonesia. This project aims to set out on tour to eleven (11) countries in Southeast Asia (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Timor Leste) to share dynamic wellness and sustainability with cultural communities and stakeholders (government, nonprofit NGOs, academia, and business). Through the tour, we intend to open opportunities for exchange and co-develop a social holistic (SO-HO) participatory framework we call “Sustainable Dynamics”. With the case study conducted for the ASEAN Center for Biodiversity, this framework is currently being readapted to be the “Human Biodiversity Model”. The whole tour will be documented through social media, photographs, sound recording and film, in effect generating creative edutainment contents for a Mobile Network Technology applications to facilitate new media active learning by the public.
