Jeroen van Erp (founder of Fabrique, a design agency) repeatedly called me ‘veroorzaker’, Dutch for ‘causer.’ My poor translation skills turned that into causatives, a word used in language to describe the characteristics of certain verbs. In 2004, I registered the domain name ‘causatives’. It is great when fun, connections, stories, and projects that contribute to a nicer and better world come from it. Important: the group is not a fishing pond. Because you yourself can only view the world from your own eyes, eye height, culture, background, beliefs, skills and specialisms. People first, and where they think, work, operate does not matter - the more diverse the group becomes, the better. But to have access to an informal group of nice people who share a similar mindset and have the ability and capacity to get something done. In less poetic words: someone who can make things happen. So, let’s cause things!Ī causative is a person that can give substance to shadows. Who knows what and where this will lead to, but let it be fun and valuable and rewarding. Causatives is becoming this fantastic international and diverse group of people.
