We are still in the organisational phase, but a couple of bullet points to define the following moments:
We will try to connect the project to the Worldbuilding Academy webinar that is happening on 9 March - here you can find more info and links, but long story short:
The “Project Witness” is an open source online space where people can participate in building imaginary, yet realistic social and economic systems arranged in different “districts”.
The general idea is to try to convey Czech, Polish and Serbian participants (through a competition maybe?) into producing stories based on the project, which in less than three thousand words:
- describe a personal experience of the social and economic system they live in,
- put a spotlight on one, two or more contradictions regarding safety, health care, solidarity, distribution of wealth, etc
- propose a plausible solution which figures out the consequences of a change
- fit the possible inclusion or creation of a particular (Czech, Serbian, Polish) district in the Project Witness which other people can join and populate with more content
It could produce some deeper thinking over the topics. We want to root it strongly into reality and would very much appreciate your input on how to shape it, which particular questions to ask and which doors to open.
