LOTE5 needs a grand narrative, we need a grand narrative in order to align discourses and have a common reference on why this is the place to learn about failing and unfailing.

1200

On it. But it’s 1,200, not 12,000 – that’s more like Kira’s book length. smiley

If you’re feeling inspired

we could just translate Kira’s book actually :slight_smile:

I’ve seen you published a co-created document on WHY LOTE5 on FB. Could you share it here too?

First pass done + question

A question, however. Towards the end I put in a list of really exciting stuff that happens at LOTE5. Not all of it is in the program. What’s the status? Should we put it in the program first? Hint: yes, so that a person that gets intrigued reading the post checks the program and finds there the wonderful stuff that I was mentioning. My list is:

  • Ezio Manzini, one of the world's most famous service designers, leads a workshop on how to make our own care services. 
  • U. N. innovation specialist Milica Begovic discusses how new financing models are breaking the development sector.
  • Security expert (and science fiction writer!) Meredith Patterson lets us in on the arcana of debt interoperability. 
  • Data scientist Guy Melançon sets up Masters of Networks, a hackathon-like event where we hack, well, networks. 
  • Bob Palmer, Europe's top cultural policy expert, reveals how and why most cultural policies fail. Expect gory details. To top it all up, Ida Leone, Ilaria D'Auria and Roxana Bedrule will explain how you can still fail even by succeeding. Exhibit A: Matera, Italy, crowned European Capital of Culture 2019.  Exhibit B: Bucharest, Romania, shortlisted for European Capital of Culture 2021.
  • Our own Nadia El-Imam shows us abject failure – and a path to unfailure – in responding to the refugee crisis.
  • Mohamed Hegazy builds on top of Cairo's failure to plan its public transport network.
  • John Coate, the legendary WELL community manager, teaches us how to cope with meltdowns in communities. 
  • Vinay Gupta, Ethereum release coordinator, lists failures in finance and contracts. His path to unFailing: the much rumoured blockchain technology.

Added most.

Yes, we’re good to go! Haven’t heard from Vinay at all, the rest are scheduled provisionally.
