Transforming mentalities is not easy, but somebody's got to try to do it! Cities, countries and places cannot change without changing the people that inhabit them, the collaborative economy is the biggest global shift since the previous industrial revolution and Mafia Creativa's mission is to ensure that creatives from Jiu's Valley are not left behind, Because a lot of the members of the Mafia are from Jiu's Valley, our first objective is to try to integrate the new digital economy based on collaborations into the local economy here and create opportunities for local people. Jiu's Valley was a industrial driven economy and when the coal mines and industrial complexes closed a lot of people migrated, were left with no hope or sunk into poverty. The main hope of the local authorities is tourism because we are surrounded by beautiful mountains, natural reservations and we have an incredible fauna and flora. Mafia Creativa believes that Jiu's Valley is the perfect place to experiment with digital microeconomic models and integrate them into a macroeconomic plan for all the cities that are part of Jiu's Valley. It's developed enough, but not digitally integrated yet and the risk is that the whole Valley(which is made up of 7 cities) sink even more into poverty. We started advocating the use of digital currencies here since 2020 and reached out to local businesses, tourism agencies and we are working on establishing a bridge with the local authorities here. Because we believe that everybody should work on what they know best, we will focus on the creative side of things and will try to launch a local creative hub with the goal of integrating blockchain with fun creative solutions for old and solid issues.

Some aspects may change over time, but the mission will remain the same: using creativity to create opportunity! Description and scope of Mafia Creativa(this grant is for Jiu's Valley development only) Mafia Creativa is small collective of creatives with different backgrounds based in bloody Transylvania, Romania, on a very unique mission that we believe was never probably attempted before. The main mission is to get local creatives, altruistic people and builders educated around blockchain, web 3 and technology and teach them how to leverage these new tools that can have an amazing impact on society and also in their personal lives. This is not only about crypto, it's about teaching creatives how to strategize and how to live sustainable lives by creating stuff that they love.We are trying to create a system that can reward creatives for doing altruistic work and for making the world a more beautiful place! Our main vision is to create a truly unique human collaboration experience formed by people with different professional backgrounds that will each dedicate time and good will to our common missions . We wish to create a community of creatives and hopefully experts that believe in decentralization, public goods and making society more fun to be part of.All parts involved could dedicate time, resources or ideas to research and explore novel ways in which we can use creativity to engineer solutions that could improve society by starting and creating solutions at a local level. Our secondary mission is to launch the most craziest and fun creative experiments with the purpose of making our society more decentralized, inclusive, fun and promote critical thinking while at it. We believe that the real world can be just as fun as the meta-verse and the two should merge in healthy and unexplored ways. Until now we have: -established a bridge with local authorities and local businesses from Jiu's Valley-build a community of local creatives with different backgrounds both online and offline-some of our members actively contribute in DAOs like 1Hive, TEC, Gitcoin and CTC-Onboarded at least 30+ people into crypto and blockchain(from all over the world) Our values are: -faith-honesty-cunningness&nbsp;-prosperity-versatility-being creative for the benefit of life, lol Decentralized members: <a href="https://twitter.com/zer8_future" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Popescu Razvan Matei</a> aka Zer8<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ambra.world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pruteanu Alexandru(Designer/founder Ambra)</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertsecrieru/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Robert Secrieru(Investor/Trader/Nice guy)</a><a href="https://twitter.com/antonlaurentiu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Anton Laurentiu(Photographer/visual artist/producer)</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/vyrus123/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dorian Drimbe(teacher/visual artist)</a><a href="https://twitter.com/Annomalia96" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Annomalia(Psychologist/Artist)</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristian-vanea-82614089/?originalSubdomain=ro" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vanea Cristian(professional skier, tourism advocate, business owner, event organizer and altruist)</a> Join our Discord and say Hi:<a href="https://discord.gg/upxYsx6s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/upxYsx6s</a> We just started building so watch out for updates soon!
