This Charter is addressed to TEIKEI Ambassadors within the network.
It describes the shared fundamental understanding for people who communicate, make visible, explain, contextualize, and build relationships with new individuals, groups, or places—both externally and internally—for TEIKEI.
This Charter specifies the overarching Charter for TEIKEI Communities for the role of Ambassadors.
This Charter does not stand alone.
It is based on the TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 and the Ten TEIKEI Principles.
The TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 outlines the network’s long-term orientation. This includes, in particular:
The Ten TEIKEI Principles form the shared foundation for collaboration, supply, and development across the entire network. These include:
This Charter translates this shared foundation into the concrete practice of the respective role within the network.
This means:
The structures, decisions, and processes described here must not be considered or implemented in isolation from the ecological, social, and community goals of the TEIKEI Manifesto or the Ten TEIKEI Principles.
Even where a role is not directly involved in agricultural production, it remains part of a system built on ecological responsibility, regenerative practices, and community-supported supply.
This implies:
The roles, tasks, and attitudes described in this Charter can only be fully understood in the context of this shared foundation.
Therefore:
The TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 and the Ten TEIKEI Principles are not an optional background but a shared foundation that all participants must read, understand, and uphold in practice.
TEIKEI Ambassadors make TEIKEI visible, understandable, and accessible.
They operate at transitions: between inside and outside, between idea and practice, between those already involved and new people, groups, or regions.
This means:
Ambassadors translate TEIKEI into different contexts.
This includes:
Ambassadors bear responsibility for how TEIKEI becomes visible.
Therefore:
Ambassadors do not act in service of mere reach.
Their task is to:
The purpose of this Charter is to make TEIKEI Ambassadors visible as a mediating, inviting, and responsible role within the network.
It provides guidance on how visibility, communication, and relationship-building can be connected with truthfulness, integrity, and shared responsibility.
