The unMonastery workshop on mapping the local assets

Community talks

I think there is nothing better than our Community platform as a showcase of local assets. It was initially planned to create a link between Matera 2019’s Scientific Committee, the 40 questions of the bid book and local community but then became something completely different. Of the 190 mission published since last spring, many of them are projects - some of which actually took form offline. Today it is very week, and is more like a showcase of what was and what could have been but there is the place where you will find proposals from our community. Problem is, they are in Italian.

Today, we are building something different, at regional level. It is called Basilicon Valley and came to light after a series of encounters we organized in different places in Basilicata: we are slowly building it in order to map local entrepreneurs, needs and resources in order to link them with projects and funding at European level. In this community, there are many people which could be very interested in unMonastery. I am hoping to involve them if we manage to take this Che Fare thing off the ground though videos and Twitterstorms. Stay tuned :slight_smile:

Another important thing, which also came out from the Community is the Open Street Map group. Several missions were posted on the theme: you will find a group of active people, and a basis on which you can build. On the 30th of January Piersoft is going to give a lecture at the University on Open Data and OSM so the community will be even bigger. I suggest

[Ben] [elf Pavlik] and other unMonasterians to attend: maybe this could also be the occasion to present the unMonastery and why not speak about Che Fare? the best thing would be to ask Piersoft directly. If you guys are interested, making contact is not hard :slight_smile:

Also, Lucia is one of the unMonasterians: here project is on developing an asset mapping tool.
