A Collaborative Innovation
WisdomWeaver was developed through a collaborative partnership between FRIENDS (Filipinos Rising for Inclusion and Equity to Nurture Democracy Society) and the Wisdom Weaver development group, with seed funding from the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
This grassroots innovation emerged from real community needs—to better capture, preserve, and amplify the collective wisdom that emerges when communities come together in meaningful dialogue.
Access WisdomWeaver
WisdomWeaver is currently an invitation-only platform designed specifically for community organizations. The tool is being refined and tested as a FRIENDS internal system to ensure it meets the needs of community-based organizations.
Current Status: WisdomWeaver is operating as a FRIENDS internal tool, supporting our community engagement documentation and knowledge management needs. We are exploring opportunities to expand access to other community organizations in the future.
