I think we need keywords in French and Dutch. Maybe @noemi @yannick @kajafarszky have ideas?
Sounds good @stefanoboski!
I can perhaps suggest some in French:
#alimentationdurable #mouvement #cooperatif #eatlocal
#Brussels #logistique
#goodfood #Brussels #reseau #restos
- Brussels Hub, Good Food, RABAD networks

Thank you! I will set up some feeds to monitor these.
I donât have any better ideas in French.

Let me know if any questions on any of this.
For June the focus will be on general promotion of the Resilient livelihoods summit plus promotion of the higher education event on June 22nd.
If anyone would like to give a shout out to any interesting people or projects from within the community or in your own personal networks, particularly in relation to livelihoods/the future of work; feel free to put me in touch.

Hi Stefano, thanks!
What do you make of the data,� Where are you seeing some potential and where is it not working?
PS I added two more links for this/next week, hope they fit somehow.
Otherwise, from next week Iâll be working more with @atelli for the 22 June session, thank you for promoting it.
Great, thanks! I will add these to the schedule.
Generally the majority of posts are getting some sort of interaction (like, share, comment/reply) which is a good sign so Iâm keen to try and increase the amount, and obviously see more follower growth across all our channels. I think where thereâs potential to push our growth and engagement a bit more would be:
More âoutreachâ content - any content or events where weâre partnering with another organisation, community, or guest contributor are always effective as the partner will usually tag and mention us to their followers which gets us in front of new audiences.
The more case studies/member stories/Q&As, the better. Perhaps a âmeet the teamâ feature on the founders? Itâs always interesting to know a teamâs background and how they came together.
Those are the initial things that came to mind. I will let you know if I have any other ideas!

@lroddy can you add the weekly newsletter in the calendar above whenever you post a new one in the campfire so that we know to promote it?

@LauraRoddy added the updates for the next newsletter
I did the same, but sticking mostly to English content.
@Wolha @Jirka_Kocian this wiki is editable by all of us - we put the headlines from the different Edgeryders projects so that they get picked up by Laura whoâs writing newsletters. You can see that we always put the latest on top - see the dates.
In the coming weeks whenever you write weekly summaries perhaps you can have a paragraph in English too (In the same post in Wellbeing PL/CZ, or separately - in Wellbeing International ? Then we can add it here.

We had our AMA session with Dutch attorney Anton Ekker.
Here is one exchange from it:
That depends on what we mean by âa good predictionâ, @antonekker. If we are happy with being âgoodâ (outperforming randomness) at the aggregate level, we might need very little data. For example, in predicting the outcome of football matches, the simplest model âthe home team always winsâ does (a little) better than random. Hal Varian (Googleâs chief economist) a few years ago went on record saying âif you have 99% correlation, who cares about causationâ, or something like that. But this extra performance only applies to predicting a whole lot of football matches (the population), while being useless if you are trying to predict one match in particular.
I think @katejsim worries that prejudices outperform randomness. If you donât care about fairness and the rights of the individual , you could indeed predict that the poorer neighbors would have more social welfare fraud than rich ones. But this would come at the expense of treating poorer individuals fairly, and, unlike with football matches, it would end up reinforcing the conditions that force those people to apply for welfare in the first place.
Interesting point.
Taking the possible consequences for citizens in account, the predictions should actually be much better than just âgoodâ. If 2% procent of the outcomes are wrong, this is already effecting a large number of people.
This raises the question if decisions by government about fraud can ever be left to algorithms alone. Maybe, human interference should be mandatory.
