What do a systems therapist, a member of a self-sufficient community, a rowing coach, a software developer and an NGO staff member have in common? Each of them live out their vocation "in networks": putting together teams, extending links, creating group projects, thinking in terms of systems rather than their own individuality. In brief: relating with other people. MYRIADES 1 interviewed people involved in all these fields. Each talked about what their work consisted in, emphasizing the community or group character of their activity. Paths that cannot be trodden alone: for these people, it is the presence of other people, whether companion, relation, colleague or partner, that defines the profile of their vocation.
