About us

The Committee of Recommendation

The Committee of Recommendation (CoR) consists of Dutch and foreigners who wholeheartedly support the initiative to make a documentary about an ‘Unconditional and Universal Basic Income’. The CoR calls on interested parties (individuals, NGOs, companies, etc.) to support the Foundation if they are interested in this project. This can be done, for example, by contributing knowledge or contacts, but also by making a financial donation. The available financial resources partly determine the choices that will be made to, for example, visit and interview people of interest worldwide. Of course we will work as much as possible via the internet.

Prof. dr. Machteld Huber

Founder of the Institute for Positive Health, among others.

Health consists of more than the absence of disease. The Institute For Positive Health – founded by Machteld Huber – wants to move from that vision to ‘positive health with six dimensions’. They developed a scoring instrument for this. With this you give your conversation partner (or yourself) a score of how satisfied he or she is with the performance on the 6 axes. This creates insight into the ‘health surface’. Learn more at ipositivehealth.com
