Have you been captivated by the imaginative societies and economic systems we’ve been creating around the floating city of Witness?
Are you a proactive go-getter, a clear communicator and discussion enabler dedicated to producing unbiased content?
We need you to help us in carrying the thinking, imaginations and insights from Witness out into the world, and carrying people from the world to contribute in building Witness.
Edgeryders are participating in the final impact conference of the Next Generation Internet programme. Its objective is to contribute novel thinking about how people, places and networked technologies interact in a better future.
During the event we will present an experiment in speculative thinking set in the imaginary floating city of Witness (learn more her). The participants will be invited to join this worldbuilding exercise through creation of the specific districts, focusing on how certain aspects of life look like within Witness e.g work and livelihoods, or notions of safety and security etc - and in particular how they affect and are affected by technology. We are looking for freelance promoters and community managers to work as Ambassadors of the distrikts of the city of Witness.
In the role of the Ambassador you will promote the final event, manage the community gathered around the exercise, present the district you represent with examples of already existing models in the world, possible solutions etc.
You will steward the questions raised during the exercise transforming them in your own portfolio/areas of focus.
