- [futuremakers][Global][Learning][Crowdfunding]: We’re designing a crowdfunding/crowdsourcing campaign around the Future Makers project. Learn by doing here: [Campaign Design]
2. [futuremakers][Global][Collaboration][Book Production]: Edgeryders are writing a handbook on grassroots collaboration, for time-hungry people running initiatives to learn from one another’s work. We’re calling on emergent influencers to shine a light on good people and projects! Read the call for contributions here [needs to be improved, see futurespotters call- much more inspiring]
3. [futuremakers][Global][Community][Engagement]: Edgeryders is reaching out to the Wikipedia/Wikimedia and Openstreetmaps communities in an effort to reach out to active contributors to global commons. Follow the progress here
4. [futurespotters][Bucharest][project][sharing]: How do we hack access to free water in big cities? Ana tells the story of a Bucharest campaign which seeks to convince the municipality (the mayor and the councilors) to construct a public network of water fountains throughout the city in order to provide free drinkable water for all residents and tourists. “If we achieve this, we will ensure that even underprivileged people living within the city have free and safe sources of drinkable water at their disposal” Know of a similar project in your area? Do share!
5. [futurespotters][Bucharest][project][sharing]: Say hello to Funky Citizens! “You want to talk to people about reforming the party system, or about having more water fountains in Bucharest? There are different strategies that work for each case. It might happen that you will deal with a lot of data, and it’s only polite that you plot this data into an infographic instead of throwing it against your audience. I’d like to collect first-hand experiences from the audience regarding the way in which they unfold their causes’ story, so I can get inspiration for my story delivery.”
- [futuremakers][Nepal][Workshop][Content Production]: Matthias says: “If you ever have to organize a content-producing workshop in Kathmandu, look no further.
