Event designWe will have three tracks: Communities stewarding physical assets, communities stewarding digital assets and communities stewarding communities. We will have three roles: curators, stewards, support team, but not spectators. We will have three kinds of activities: keynotes to get on the same page, parallel session to get in deep, action workshops to try out some practical stewarding. The event is designed to: encourage maximum manageable diversity of participants in a process engineered to ensure respectful and constructive interaction between everyone involved. |
Community stewardship: a third way?Over the centuries, nation states all over Europe have developed or acquired control of assets of all kinds. The overarching logic behind this development and acquisition is generally to enable the provision of public services. In recent decades this model has become overstretched: states have found themselves struggling to find the resources to keep those assets manned so that provision of such services could continue, and had to retreat from many non-core services. Consequently, many such assets lie unused; some are beginning to deteriorate. In an effort to correct this situation, some public assets have been turned over to the private sector. This move has had mixed results: while some financial advantages for states have indeed materialized, at least in the short term, many privatization programs suffer unintended consequences. The general consensus seems to be that it might be interesting to explore new avenues. Communities have been singled out as candidates for taking care of some public assets, in particular those that can be used to provide services to the community itself. There is now evidence available to indicate that communities can indeed provide stewardship. The EdgeRyders community has itself accumulated significant experience in this area. We believe the ability to come together to take care of assets in an unstable context is a key skill for surviving and thriving in the future. |
