The BiSocialTree has its genesis in a strong concept of sharing, "supply and demand", from that point you want to act in society as example reference.
BiSocialTree in its genesis has a strong concept of sharing, 'demand and offer', and from that point acts in society as a reference example in the skills of responsibility and social solidarity that fit each of us and within potential economic, social and cultural needs of each individual or organization. While social enterprise aims to perform activities that help to maintain balance between resources of different individuals and organizations in different countries or regions in a global versus local perspective, "think global ... act locally”. We propose to carry out a platform on the internet that put in contact who needs help and who wants to help in a way conceptually beautiful, simple and effective. Its core business is to foster the sharing of material and immaterial goods between individuals and / or organizations in a global scale as well as their associated values.

Its core business is to foster the sharing of material and immaterial goods between individuals and / or organizations in a global scale as well as their associated values.
Presentation
In the context of social entrepreneurship we present this PPL’s crowdfunding, which will take place in the months of November and December of 2013, the idea and a part of the project that promoters intend to fund with €4000 in this first phase and in particular to an early version of BiSocialTree online platform. Therefore, at the very short term the only purpose of this funding is to start running the software that will allow later further steps to implement legal and definitive organization if all of the conditions are assembled.
Strategy
Strategic planning for the implementation of BiSocialTree involves five stages. At the start and during the first phase will be developed and made available the site that will serve as a social meeting point between those who need help and those who want to help. This "unique page" will always be the core business of the entire structure of the organization and essentially using a central tree from which you can interact 'socially'.
In the second phase we intend to invest in the development of the site and subdivide the homepage in a wide variety of ‘sharing trees’ from a thematic perspective more oriented to creating dynamic and entertainment around the core activity of the organization.
Later imbued with the spirit and mission set is expected to highlight a new area on the internet platform to support the dissemination and marketing of products of small businesses and / or "nanobusinessman" that from their hobbies or their plastic capacity are able to introduce economic value for themselves and for society in general in a process of involvement corresponding to crowdsourcing.
The fourth phase will be oriented to communication and dissemination of news and activities within the framework of solidarity and social responsibility and also in starting partnerships in I&D in this same area.
At a later stage we intend to evolve in order to transform the site into a social network similar to those that we currently know. The aim is to improve social networks and continue to invest in them both in its form and content, but more pro- active with a strong social component in the sense of solidarity where the concepts of sharing, giving and receiving, to soar over any other thing.
The commitment to this project on the internationalization process always will be throughout the implementation of the various stages on a steadily and progressive way given the obvious difficulties associated features.
We with the others
BiSocialTree does not add new values to society because they all already exist. But their service is innovative to potential direct and indirect competitors and its aims are mainly boosting a sector that still needs constant diversification of services and concrete objectives of continuous improvement. We believe that we do more and better within the social business that we intend to accomplish. For greater coverage, the form of the process and its simplicity and above all by its verticality as it is possible to put in direct contact each individual intention (individuals or organizations) to give or receive.
Generally, any individual or organization can donate or ask for something and do not use the services of BiSocialTree as he used to and continuing to use their means of local proximity. But we believe that the existence of a platform like this can enrich and diversify the possibilities and opportunities for all those who want to donate or receive something, and especially the most disadvantaged and geographically remote.
The “visible thing” at the site
This project for crowdfunding and thinking in a lowcost version is intended to an initial shape of the platform that contemplates a tree (conceptual basis of the whole project) that centralizes all the information in their editing leaves. The visualization will be enhanced by several factors of which the zoom will be a key tool. The 'users' of the site can visualize quickly and efficiently as much information as they could and the editing away issue will also be within the concept of 'user friendly'. One of the more interesting components is the association of each leave edited with the geographical location of its editing using a map with proper signage.
The Team
The implementation and development of the project BiSocialTree will be in charge of a group of promoters with more or less experience in the business sector, and from the outset of the project is intended to establish a set of partnerships with organizations or professionals with expertise in various areas of interest. At this early stage, and for the proposed value (€ 4000) all the entire budget will be allocated to the work performed by an enterprise information systems partner in this project, "ATS - Advanced Technology Systems", based in Viseu (Portugal) region.
Rewards
Symbolically but with great social value some rewards are offered by promoters and will be delivered in time to the respective supporters of this project.
The vouchers will be delivered via email in due course and they are related to all products that will be available by BiSocialTree for their own promotion and sustainability.
Pictures with the BiSocialTree logo autographed (see attached images) will transmit some important education character which is one of the features to be developed in this social enterprise identity and instilled in their future activities in general.
3D trees (see attached images) act as BiSocialTree mascots and are prepared with the support of Rita are made of ‘Eva’ material having around 20cm in height and vivid and beautiful with strong decorative elements.
The invitation to 'pioneers/seeds' of BiSocialTree and the membership card/user offer depends on the legal form at time of its constitution. In any case we aim to offer all supporters at this stage the chance to make use of some advantages associated with the membership card or user that is intended. This card, as most of the existing cards, performs some promotional campaigns with the establishment of partnerships with goods or services companies trying to benefit our members or users and also the image of those companies, naturally.
Remember that this situation of 'card' as well as 'vouchers' announced should only be considered if this organization is constituted legally as it is our intention in favorable conditions.

Obrigado a Todos ! / Thank You All !
A poucos dias do final de campanha resta agradecer a todos os que apoiaram este projecto nas suas mais variadas formas até ao momento. Obrigado! Um agradecimento muito especial aos que contribuíram de forma mais directa neste crowdfunding e aos que ainda possam vir a contribuir até ao final. Esperamos que tenhamos já realizado alguma diferença nas vossas expectativas globais de responsabilidade e solidariedade sociais através da apresentação deste projecto BiSocialTree. O que nos fará mover será sempre a duplicidade entre aquilo que nos faz crescer individualmente e em sociedade com o que nos faz diminuir pela partilha do que temos ou somos em relação ao mundo envolvente; a nossa ‘medida social’ deveria ser não só aquilo que adquirimos mas acima de tudo o que prescindimos em valor ou forma. Naturalmente...claro!! :) / A few days before the end of this campaign just left to thank everyone who supported this project in its various forms so far. Thank you! A very special thanks to those who contributed most directly to this crowdfunding and may yet contribute to the end. We hope we have already made any difference in your global expectations of responsibility and social solidarity through BiSocialTree project presentation. What moves us will always be the duplicity between what makes us grow individually and as a society with what makes us diminish by sharing what we have or what we are in relation to the surrounding world; our 'social measure' should not be just what we acquired but above all that we dispense by value or form. Naturally ... of course! :) (with Google's Translator help)

Presente e Futuro / Present and Future
O sucesso deste crowdfunding é actualmente fundamental para a concretização dos objectivos propostos no projecto BiSocialTree. Daí a importância da sua contribuição. O futuro passará pela participação em pelo menos mais um concurso de empreendedorismo para o qual os promotores pretendem fortalecer alguns factores que poderão ser determinantes na obtenção de resultados mais viabilizadores deste projecto; realizou-se já a inscrição no concurso BES Realize o Seu Sonho da Acredita Portugal, edição 2013/14. Contamos brevemente realizar a apresentação de três projectos (desdobramento do projecto global associado à vertente informática da plataforma BiSocialTree) aos alunos finalistas no Departamento de Informática da ESTV. O apoio deles através da realização dos seus estágios e com a colaboração dos recursos da ATS - Sistemas de Tecnologia Avançada também poderão ser extremamente relevantes na prossecução do projecto, pelo menos numa fase inicial da sua implementação. Globalmente tudo faremos para que a médio e longo prazo este projecto se concretize naquilo que são a sua missão e os seus valores. / The success of this crowdfunding is currently fundamental to the achievement of the objectives proposed in BiSocialTree project. Your contribution is very important. The future will include the participation in at least one entrepreneurship competition for which prosecutors intend to strengthen some factors that may impact on getting more enablers results of this project; we made already the registration in the "BES Realize o Seu Sonho" of "Acredita Portugal", edition 2013/14. We will soon realize the presentation of three projects (split of the overall project associated with the computer aspect of BiSocialTree platform) to finalists students in the Informatics Departement of "ESTV" . Their support through the completion of their internships and collaboration features of ATS - Advanced Technology Systems can also be extremely relevant in pursuing the project at least at an early stage of implementation. Overall we will fight for the medium and long term to materialize this project in what is its mission and its values. (with Google's Translator help)

Valores... em projecto!! / Values... in project!!
Partilha de bens materiais e imateriais que favoreçam o desenvolvimento e criação de novas oportunidades aos mais carenciados. Simplicidade na forma e conteúdo com que se abordam tecnologicamente relações fundamentais entre indivíduos e organizações e as suas necessidades diárias. Responsabilidade social como pilar do nosso desenvolvimento colectivo. Motivação e Criatividade permanente dos recursos humanos na promoção de iniciativas e actividades sociais. Sustentabilidade dos recursos que permitam a diversificação e assegure o crescimento da organização. Alegria que seja simultaneamente ponto de partida e ponto final em todas as actividades desta organização. Ambiente caracterizado pela associação simbólica entre o conceito de partilha e as árvores que nos rodeiam; nascem e à medida que vão crescendo partilham com o seu exterior os ‘bens’ de que necessitam e outros que prescindem e que tão úteis são para ecologia global; mesmo depois de mortas continuam a partilhar algo com o meio envolvente…uma lição de vida! / Sharing of tangible and intangible goods that favor the development and creation of new opportunities to the needy. Simplicity by form and content in technology addressed to fundamental relationships between individuals and organizations and their daily needs. Social responsibility as our collective development pillar. Permanent human resources Motivation and Creativity by promoting social initiatives and activities. Sustainability of resources to ensure the diversification and growth of the organization. Joy that should be both the starting point and end point in all activities of this organization. Environment that is characterized by symbolic association between the concept of sharing and the trees that surround us; born and as they grow share with outside the 'goods' they need and others who dispense for global ecology; even after death continue to share something with the surroundings ... a life lesson!

Este post é uma homenagem aos artesão urbanos que pelas suas características plásticas introduzem valor socioeconómico a eles próprios em particular e à comunidades em geral. No projecto BiSocialTree são representados pela ritamimos.blogspot.pt - a Rita - e foram carinhosamente (re)batizados por nós como 'nanocomerciantes' por analogia ao exemplo e à importância que o 'microcrédito' introduziu a seu tempo na sociedade. Esperamos que esta sinergia sirva de exemplo e estímulo a outros indivíduos, organizações ou entidades para que possam contibuir na promoção e divulgação deste sector através de novas formas mais ou menos empreendedoras e que originem no futuro... os seus frutos, naturalmente! / This post is a tribute to urban craftsman whose characteristics introduce plastic socioeconomic value to themselves in particular and the community in general. In the BiSocialTree's project they are represented by ritamimos.blogspot.pt - Rita - and have been lovingly (re)baptized by us as 'nanobusinessman' by analogy to the example and the importance that 'microcredit' introduced in society a long time ago. We hope that this synergy will serve as an example and stimulus to other individuals, organizations or entities that may contibute to the promotion and dissemination of this sector through new forms more or less entrepreneurial and that could create in the future ... its fruits, naturally!

Tantos e Tão Poucos ! / So many and so few !
A fotografia com este título que acompanha a apresentação do projecto BiSocialTree neste crowdfunding não fazia parte do projecto original. Foi tirada durante um passeio em família à praia da Barra em Aveiro e foi apresentada pela primeira vez no "Ser Voluntário" do site da Associação CDRSS de São Pedro de France. Apenas significa que "apesar de sermos muitos e em muitos casos, há situações em que todos nunca somos demais parecendo nesses momentos que falta sempre alguém para preencher 'aquele' vazio." Acreditamos que a nossa responsabilidade social tem tudo a ver com isso...com algumas oportunidades que nos são apresentadas que podem possibilitar o preenchimento daqueles espaços vazios. E também isso é bastante 'Natural'... / The picture with this title that attaches the presentation of the crowdfunding BiSocialTree's project was not part of the original project. It was taken in a family outing to the Barra's beach in Aveiro and was first presented in "Being a Volunteer's" page of São Pedro de France CDRSS Association's website. It just means that "despite being many and in many cases, there are situations in which all are never enough and it seems like in those moments always someone's missing to fill 'that' empty." We believe that our social responsibility has everything to do with this... with a few opportunities that are presented to us which can enable the fill of those empty spaces. And also that it's quite 'Natural' too... (with Google's Translator help)

Concursos Passados e o Presente / Past Contest and the Present
O projecto BiSocialTree já participou em quatro concursos de empreendedorismo de carácter nacional ou de certa forma mais regionais consoante as características e objectivos das entidades promotoras (dois desses concursos ainda estão em período de avaliação dos projectos). De uma forma global o resultado foi positivo sem que se tenham atingido na plenitude os objectivos e os méritos deste projecto. O maior enriquecimento obtido foi a melhoria da sua própria apresentação e o 'olhar' por diferentes e novas perspectivas. Acreditamos que o maior défice nesse percurso e até ao momento presente foi a não apresentação de um software capaz de mostrar todo o potencial e beleza da ideia inerente ao projecto BiSocialTree... E é por isso mesmo que aqui estamos a solicitar o apoio neste crowdfunding para financiar o arranque da nossa plataforma e reforçar as raízes deste projecto...a nossa para nós!! O vosso apoio e divulgação são fundamentais. Obrigado! / The project BiSocialTree has participated in four national or somewhat regional entrepreneurship contests depending on the characteristics and objectives of the promoters (two of these contests are still in the evaluation period of the projects). In a global way the result was positive but without achieving the fullness objectives and merits of this project. The highest enrichment obtained was improving its own performance and a 'look' for new and different perspectives. We believe that the biggest deficit in this way and so far was the lack of presentation of a software able to show full potential and beauty of the idea inherent in the project BiSocialTree ... And that's why here we are soliciting support by this crowdfunding to finance the launch of our platform and strengthen the roots of this project ... our for us! Your support and dissemination are very important. Thank you! (with Google's Translator help)

Conceito ‘Árvore’... / ‘Tree’ Concept...
Alimento, habitação, ferramentas, abrigo, pulmão vivo e uma grande beleza são algumas das características das árvores. Simbolizam o cosmos em toda a sua extensão, já que as suas raízes são o nível subterrâneo, o tronco é a terra e os seus ramos simbolizam o céu. São sinónimo de evolução e de regeneração cíclica ao longo das estações, frutificando a terra com as suas sementes. Têm em si os quatro elementos: a terra junto às raízes, a água na sua seiva, o ar respirado pelas suas folhas e o fogo através da sua madeira. Dado encontrar-se simultaneamente em contacto com a terra e o céu, a árvore é também um símbolo da relação entre estes dois elementos e uma espécie de centro ou eixo do mundo. E isto tanto na tradição judaico-cristã, como nas culturas africanas ou asiáticas. Em certas regiões do Norte da Índia, aquele que abate uma árvore é condenado à morte, porque a vida de uma árvore tem mais valor do que a vida humana. Certos tipos particulares de árvores são preferidos por certas culturas: é o caso do carvalho entre os celtas, o abeto junto dos gregos, a tília para os germânicos, o freixo pelos nórdicos, a oliveira para os islâmicos e os cristãos, ou o cedro entre os hebreus e os assírios. As árvores do mundo e as árvores da vida também fazem parte de muitas tradições do Mundo, inclusive do Japão e no Irão. A árvore é importante na simbologia bíblica do paraíso como a árvore da sabedoria e do conhecimento. A árvore da vida está representada na tradição cristã pela árvore do Génesis e a cruz onde Cristo se torna o centro do Mundo. Foi debaixo de uma árvore que Buda alcançou a iluminação e essa árvore representa por vezes o próprio Buda, dizendo-se na Índia que é uma manifestação da trindade: as suas raízes são Brama, o seu tronco Shiva e os seus ramos Vixnu. Em algumas culturas a árvore é também um símbolo de fertilidade, o que faz com que as mulheres a ela recorram, quer pintando-a nos seus corpos, como acontece em certas tribos da Ásia, ou então, como é hábito no Mediterrâneo e na Índia, prendem nas árvores os seus lenços vermelhos. No Sul da Índia, entre os dravidianos, as mulheres têm o costume de se unir a uma árvore antes de casar com o marido, para garantir a vinda dos filhos. Nesta mesma parte do Mundo, marido e mulher plantam uma árvore fêmea e uma árvore macho, cujas raízes são entrelaçadas para garantir a fecundidade das árvores e do casal que as plantou. Noutras culturas é o noivo que é amarrado à árvore no dia do seu casamento, simbolizando a força e capacidade de procriação. A 21 de março, comemora-se o Dia Mundial da Árvore e da Floresta. / Food , housing , tools , shelter , live lung a great beauty are some of the features of trees . Symbolize the cosmos in all its extension , since their roots are the underground level , the trunk is the earth and its branches symbolize the sky . Are synonymous of evolution and cyclic regeneration throughout the seasons, the earth bearing fruit with their seed. Have in them the four elements : earth near the roots , the water in its sap , the air breathed by its leaves and fire through its timber. Given meet simultaneously in contact with the earth and the sky , the tree is also a symbol of the relationship between these two elements and a sort of center or axis of the world. This applies both in the Judeo-Christian tradition , as in African and Asian cultures . In some parts of North India , who slaughter a tree is put to death , because the life of a tree is more valuable than human life . Particular types of trees are preferred by certain cultures : the case of the oak among the Celts , Greeks among the spruce , lime for Germanic , Nordic ash by the olive to the Islamists and Christians , or between Cedar Jews and Assyrians . The trees in the world and the trees of life are also part of many traditions of the world , including Japan and Iran The tree is important in biblical symbolism of paradise as the tree of wisdom and knowledge . The tree of life is represented by the tree in the Christian tradition of Genesis and the cross where Christ becomes the center of the world . It was under a tree that Buddha attained enlightenment and this tree is sometimes the Buddha himself , saying he was in India that is a manifestation of the Trinity : its roots are Brahma , Shiva its trunk and its branches Vishnu . In some cultures the tree is also a symbol of fertility , which makes women seek it out , either painting it on their bodies , as in certain Asian tribes , or, as is usual in the Mediterranean and India , the trees hold their red scarves . In South India , among the Dravidians , women are wont to join a tree before marrying her husband , to ensure the arrival of children. In this same part of the world , husband and wife planting a tree female and a male tree , whose roots are intertwined to ensure the fruitfulness of trees and couple who planted them . In other cultures it is the groom who is tied to tree on your wedding day , symbolizing the strength and ability of procreation. The March 21 , commemorates the World Day of Tree and Forest.

Este Nome e 'Logo'? / This Name and 'Logo'?
Existiram e ainda continuarão a existir várias opções para a denominação BiSocialTree e o seu logotipo até uma decisão mais definitiva. Mas os escolhidos no presente associam-se com facilidade à base conceptual desta futura organização: a ‘árvore’. O nome BiSocialTree associa de forma simples a realidade dual do dar e do receber no conceito de partilha que é a outra base conceptual a ser promovida. O logotipo permitirá motivar alguma criatividade das nossas camadas mais jovens e poderá impulsionar muitas outras actividades (inclusivamente a alteração da imagem do próprio logotipo que poderá ser volante) relacionadas com a imagem ‘árvore’ de forma mais pedagógica socialmente ou no âmbito do meio ambiente de forma mais educativa, por exemplo. / Still exist several options for BiSocialTree's name and its 'logo' until a more definitive decision be taken. But those chosen in the present easily associate themselves with the conceptual basis of this future organization: the 'tree'. Simply the name BiSocialTree associates the dual reality of giving and receiving in the concept of sharing which is another conceptual basis to be promoted. The logo will motivate some creativity of our younger generation and can boost many other activities (including changing the image's own logo that could be somehow rotative) related to the image 'tree' in a way more socially pedagogical or within the environment's education, for example.

Como Surgiu a Ideia? / How Came the Idea ?
A ideia surge baseada na confluência de vivências pessoais com pontos de vista e necessidades sociais globais. O conceito de árvore associada ao conceito de “share” surge com …naturalidade! E a sua utilização como sistema agregador de dados é óptimo e quase evidente tanto pela capacidade como pela beleza. A partir daí surge um encadeamento de ideias já com algum nível organizativo no sentido da criação dos mecanismos de implementação da ideia…começando com uma estrutura algo mais altruísta e conceptualmente relevante - o “share” bi social - até atingir o fenómeno das redes sociais e a sua participação na resolução de necessidades quotidianas. A família e os amigos foram no início como agora... fundamentais!!!! / The idea arises based on the confluence of personal experiences with global views and global social needs. The concept of tree associated with the concept of "share" comes up with ... naturality! And its use as a data aggregator system is optimum and almost clear both for its capacity and beauty. From this arises a chain of ideas with some organizational level towards the creation of mechanisms for implementation of the idea ... starting with a structure something like more altruistic and conceptually relevant - bi social "share" - until the phenomenon of social networks and their participation in solving everyday needs. Family and friends were at the beginning and now ... fundamental!!!! (with Google's Translator help)

Local e Razões / Local and Reasons
Se for constituída, a BiSocialTree surgirá como empresa social no berço da "Senhora da Beira". Viseu tem características únicas geográficas e de desenvolvimento nos vários sectores que tornam esta cidade especialmente atractiva para a implementação de novas ideias e projectos empreendedores. Obviamente que a naturalidade dos promotores não iria dificultar mais a tarefa de escolha relativa à localização regional da BiSocialTree a não ser que outra opção fosse manifestamente vantajosa aos serviços prestados por esta organização. Portugal, essencialmente pelas suas características históricas além mares e pelo espírito de sacrifício e solidariedade (ontem, hoje e amanhã cada vez mais...) e ainda pela arte do saber do seu povo, será sempre um país de referência para a criação, implementação e desenvolvimento de projectos desta natureza. A acção da BiSocialTree na perspectiva local é independente da sua localização física inicial pois os seus serviços pretendem ser efectivos e abrangentes ao longo do tempo em qualquer canto do mundo dentro do tal espírito think global…act locally. / If constituted, BiSocialTree will emerge as social enterprise in the birthplace of "Lady of Beira" . Viseu has unique geographical and development features in the various sectors that make this town especially attractive for implementing new ideas and entrepreneurial projects. Obviously, the naturalness of the promoters would not make it more difficult the task of choice on the regional location of BiSocialTree unless another option was clearly advantageous to the services provided by this organization. Portugal, primarily through its historic features beyond seas and the spirit of sacrifice and solidarity (yesterday, today and tomorrow increasingly... ) and by the art of knowing, your people will always be a reference country for the creation, implementation and development of such projects. BiSocialTree's action in local perspective is independent of its initial physical location for their services are intended to be effective and comprehensive over time in any corner of the world within such a spirit "think global... act locally".

'Um Papel' / 'One' Role
Os nossos antepassados entregaram-nos até ao presente todos os valores pelos quais a nossa sociedade clama progressivamente...mas também nos disponibilizaram a inteligência para os aplicarmos e os fazermos evoluir no futuro. A BiSocialTree apenas vem tentar desempenhar 'um' papel no decurso desse processo evolutivo. / Our ancestors gave us until present all the values by which our society increasingly calls... but also provided us with the intelligence to apply and too evolve in the future. BiSocialTree just try to play 'one' role during this evolutionary process.
