Helene is the creator of the PLAST concept and approach, developped as a 'strategy' for change, brought into the FKI for an application to a CAPS H2020 funding program. The idea of PLAST has matured over the past five years of research and interactions with several groups of change agents and activists on social media and at gatherings, ranging from the Commons Action group at the UN, the Global Citizens Movement and Common Good Forum, to Ouishare, The Next Edge, and Edgeryders, from local communities and social entrepreneurs to mainstream practitioners networks such as the Systems Thinking World or Organizational Change Practitioners on Linked In focused on social change.

PLAST evolved from a research on logics of engagement and approaches to change, and a quest for an underlying logic that could connect and coalesce the ubiquitous drive for social change. Pattern Language appeared as the best vehicle for such coalescence. The PLAST concept was first presented at the Worskshop of the Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University in summer 2014, then at the fist Purplsoc (Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change) workshop in November 2014 in Austria, where it started to gather some momentum.

As a hub connecting networks and communities across domains for the collaborative development of free knowledge, to promote freedom and sustanability through collaboration and empowerment, the FKI is a natural home for PLAST.
