The ABeA Transition Model

HUMANPLACECYCLENETWORKTRANSITION

We take a closer look. We connect what usually works separately. And we accompany the transition towards a solution that works in everyday life.

Human at the centre

Starting point and point of reference.

1 Human

What is truly needed?

  • Needs and wishes
  • Abilities and resources
  • Burdens and limits
  • Experience and self-determination

2 Place

Where does real life take place?

  • Home or care facility
  • Workplace or organisation
  • Neighbourhood, region and surroundings
  • Digital space and life on the move

3 Cycle

What happens today – and where does it get stuck?

  • Procedures and processes
  • Interfaces and responsibilities
  • Resources and information
  • Breaks, duplicated work and waiting times

4 Network

Who or what is missing from the solution?

  • People and professionals
  • Institutions and services
  • Technology and AI
  • Neighbourhood and initiatives
  • Knowledge and funding
  1. OrientWhat is possible?
  2. DecideWhich path will we follow?
  3. ConnectWho or what is needed?
  4. TestStart small and test it for real.
  5. AccompanyWatch and adjust.
  6. Hand overThe new situation works without lasting dependence on ABeA.

Transition

Possibilities become lived change.

ABeA works where systems meet people.

Three examples

The same method, three realities.

Construction barrier: Transitions instead of exclusion.

A · Staying at home

A self-determined home. Connect support.

Person
Wishes, abilities, limits and self-determination
Place
One’s own home and the immediate surroundings
Cycle
Everyday life, safety, appointments and social contact
Network
Relatives, care, doctors, aids and suitable technology
Transition
Try a workable everyday solution and hand it on into a network that can carry it.

ABeA IN PRACTICE ABeA · Staying at home

Construction barrier: A small solution for a large transition.

B · A personal transition

New paths. Use the strengths you already have.

Person
Experience, abilities, wishes, the situation as it is
Place
Workplace and everyday surroundings
Cycle
Current work and life routines
Network
Employer, learning, guidance, support
Transition
Shape a realistic new way of working or living.

C · Place and neighbourhood

Rooms for people. Bring places back to life.

Person
Who needs space?
Place
A specific place, a building, a neighbourhood
Cycle
Use, permission, funding, running the place
Network
Owners, the district, initiatives, users, neighbours
Transition
Turn unused space into space people can use.

These are ways of working, not finished products for sale. ABeA currently supports housing searches on a voluntary basis, without any promise of a home. The initiatives are described on the Projects page.

Stance

Queer. Open. For everyone.

ABeA does not replace specialists. ABeA connects professional knowledge, people, systems and resources that are already there.

Construction barrier: Whatever nationality you are, we are all people.
