Affiliation and Inclusive Societies

The human being, as philosophers define it, is a social animal. He cannot live in seclusion. He always needs someone to share his thoughts and feelings with. This social feature and its effect cannot be ignored when it comes to the process of human development since his first hunt until this point, where we have come to achieve our civilized communities. When I was a kid, I had so much trouble trying to blend in with my peers’ school; my reasons aren’t worth mentioning. We simply couldn’t find anything in common between us. And only when I joined the boys' scouts did I find my people, with whom I shared a lot in common, and that was when my need to belong to a group of people made sense, so I started the process of joint construction and being, as Dunkishute once said: “all for one and one for all.”

With all the experiences I had trying to find where I belong. It concerned me; it wasn’t easy at all, especially with the dramatic change of events in February 2011. Hard times of social and economic crisis kept coming when democratic change stumbled, which led to the destruction of minor fundamental societies and straight-up affected the bigger society. Unfortunately, that made space for new societies that implemented Dunkeshot’s saying literally, using the weak-hearted to do their work for them, to end up victims of the absence of these societies, suffering from “not belonging” to either society. Terrorists and armed groups and how they attract those young clueless minds with money and power are living proof of that.

In the past years, since Hexa Connection was established, we have always been trying to focus on building society so that technology can be our way to a better society. In our first year, our focus has been on bringing our peers who share our passion together. To build our common base from which we can share knowledge and experience, of which we contribute to the development of ourselves and get the bigger hunt as our ancestors did once. Hexa sessions, or what we liked to call them Hexa Hangout, for it to be their space to participate without hesitation, get to know their peers, and share their hobbies, a regular session on various axes benefits those with bigger and better experiences in the field a place where they could ask questions and inquiries in total comfort.
Hexa Hangout has more than a dozen sessions from the east to the west. Hexa Hangout has been the organization’s basic project. Supporting those who are interested, contributing to building their skills and network of people, so we see them making friends and partners from these sessions and keep in constant contact with them seeking new knowledge.

And that is something we are proud to have established; it was also a key focus in building the skills of team members. This project is like an easy and abstinent question to answer. Despite how simple it is to be accomplished, it still needs good communication and management skills, so thanks to everyone who helped to organize and to manage these sessions for the past years. Because if not for them, it wouldn’t have been accomplished. Thanks to our volunteer speakers and supporters of individuals and corporations sessions.

Hexa Hangout is not exclusive to Hexa Connection; you can always contact us to work together and hold these sessions wherever members of our community are.

This blog was part of a series of blogs; I am trying to express the main milestones of our work at Hexa Connection on the occasion of its sixth anniversary.
