This example demonstrates how a DAO can define its direction, structure, and execution approach for Cohort 2, aligned with the DEP 2 governance framework, multi-stakeholder participation, regeneration principles, and symbolic KAT recognition.

 

CULTURAL & CREATIVE DAO - MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL

 

1. DAO Mission & Cohort 2 Direction

1.1 DAO Mission Statement

The Cultural & Creative DAO cultivates meaningful cultural expression by enabling communities to create, share, and preserve stories, art, and cultural knowledge.

In Cohort 2, the DAO integrates creative production, community contribution, regeneration, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and symbolic KAT recognition for all contributors.

1.2 Vision & Guiding Principles

• Creativity as a universal human language
• Inclusion across cultures, ages, and geographies
• Regeneration mindset: value creation, circulation, and sustainability
• Learning through practice and experimentation
• Multi-stakeholder ecosystem: DAO Members, external collaborators, partners, ambassadors, customers/users, KAT holders
• Transparency, decentralization, collective ownership
• Respect for cultural identity, diversity, and lived experiences

1.3 Context & Rationale

Culture is built through shared expression.

The Cultural & Creative DAO empowers people - from DAO Members to community collaborators and cultural institutions - to express and document cultural identity through art and storytelling.

Cohort 2 expands C&C DAO into a global–local creative ecosystem, collaborating with:

• community groups
• local artists
• schools, libraries, cultural institutions
• ambassadors
• volunteers
• customers/users
• KAT holders (symbolic governance and privilege pilots)

This DAO contributes to Kambria’s long-term vision of multi-stakeholder collaboration and regenerative value cycles.

2. Impact Goals (DAO-Level & Working Group-Level)

2.1 DAO Impact Goal

400 meaningful creative expressions, including artwork, writing, photography, music, storytelling, cultural documentation, and collaborative media.

Outputs may be produced by:

• DAO Members
• Community Collaborators
• Partners
• Ambassadors
• Users/customers (e.g., participants of creative sessions)

2.2 Working Group Sub-Goals

Creative Expression WG

• 250 creative works (artworks, stories, photos, digital media, crafts, etc.)

Community Storytelling WG

• 100 storytelling contributions (oral stories, interviews, community features)

Documentation & Archive WG

• 50 polished, organized cultural pieces curated into the DAO archive

2.3 Measurement & Tracking

The DAO will use:

• weekly output logs
• shared spreadsheets
• evidence folders (images, videos, transcripts)
• monthly review sessions
• DAO Summary Report in August

3. Regeneration Strategy & Sub-Goals

3.1 DAO Regeneration Target

$3,000 in regenerated value during Cohort 2.

3.2 Regeneration Strategy Overview

The DAO will experiment with regeneration pathways such as:

• Creative exhibitions (online/offline across multiple regions)
• Donation-based cultural storytelling circles
• Paid creative workshops (drawing, cultural crafts, writing, digital art)
• Creative merchandise (local + international print-on-demand)
• Partnerships with schools, cultural clubs, artists, libraries
• Collaborative creative sessions via Exchange DAO and CED
• Ambassador-led regeneration events in local communities

Regeneration contributions may come from:

• individuals
• community groups
• institutions
• users/customers
• external partners
• ambassadors

3.3 WG Regeneration Sub-Goals

• Creative Expression WG: $1,000 through workshops, merch, and exhibitions

• DAO-level monitoring

3.5 Risks & Mitigation

• Partner withdrawals → maintain multiple options
• Low event turnout → diversify formats (online + offline)
