Hi @Bilal, nice to meet you, I am one of the early movers in Edgeryders - I live in Brussels with Nadia, whom you probably met at the workshop. By the way how was it ? what did you learn?
I checked out Nawaya, and was intrigued that it was in English (perhaps oriented towards fundraising from abroad?). Lamba Labs seems like the place to be.
What do you mean by responsibility to parents and blood family? Is this a cultural take or your gut?
While we are discussing our personal visions for OpenVIllage, @baderdean is the only one I remember to have raised the issue of other close circles:
“my personal aspiration is not to form a new ad-hoc community that will replace my other belonging but to find a network of “colleagues” or like-minded people that share the same approach, tools, resources and bonus have fun together.” (source)…
I’m not sure how I feel about family or other (extended) versions of it, so very curious.
PS ping @max_perry who is heading to Beirut and could enjoy meeting you
