Attended: Csengele, @Damiano , @Shajara , @WinniePoncelet , @albertorey can you please add your notes and thoughts with what’s next for you? leave a comment?
Csengele: heard about OpenVillage from the Internet, isnt sure. Student at Waldorf school, “I don’t work in health field. In the last year I organized an int’l youth conference for graduates” – the topic was “how can we create a new world”? How can we see the system that we are now in, step out from highschools, and how to make a change?”
-How Banks are working and whats the difference with ethical banks;
-How can we build up communities? “I’m in a gap year”
Damiano: studied biotech in Rome, 3 main interests: Sharing Economy (FairBnb); Biotech and edu; Created this association called Net Innovation for a new inno lab – biohackerspace and broader;
-We will organize an event in Rural Hub in education near Salermo (Oui Share Summit 2 yrs ago there).
-Orthoponics in circular economy – does aquaponics and combines hydrocultivation with the waste from fish
-Filtered bubbles on Internet: doing a PhD;
-in general interested in creating connections
-SAVVY: new platform coop about healthcare – they won a grant they connect patients, orgs and researchers
Alberto: artist, videographer; uses stories and video installations to make complicated i.e. environmental issues more accessible to the public
Shajara: Student at an Argentinian based online uni;
-Installed solar power streetlights in Brazil
-Data science in free time
At OpenVillage
Alberto: We are often preaching to the converted and need to reach to the groups we work for. Try to use aesthetics to seduce the viewer who might not be interested in social issues – to look at the project as an asthetic work, so they can make their own decisions.
What outcomes? How communities learn?
-A few organisations that have done things and continue to be very effective.
-Alberto: other research project coming up as well, needs to know OV details to finalize travel plans. What support available?
Damiano:
-Discussion starting generally, and then what platform can become faircoop? PLATFORM AS A COMMON, community as a shareholder; hopefully it will be ready to launch!
-Where do we draw the line in what the event is about? It’s an edge event, but under the banners - Social care and healthcare, we need to signal for example 3 bigger topics
[discussion about what is care/ how openscience and education meet…]
Citizen science and education meet where the educational value of citizen science is taken into account. In the traditional sense, this educational value would be used as a justification for scientists to do citizen science: the masses may learn from participating in research, even if this is done in a menial way. Yet the reasoning should be the other way around: how do we make scientific education resemble citizen science? It promotes skills like creativity, problem-solving and civic mindedness. This connects to other educational reform initiatives that seek to promote the same values, as well as other soft skills.
Csengele: has seen educational events working with environment projects – participants working with water; trying to tell students that there is another option, how we shouldn’t stick to what we learn
Alberto: mentions flyfishing education inserted as an activity in an edu program in the US. Relevant for Damiano, Winnie, … can be shared for OpenVillage?
