The OpenCare project has already collected incredible, humbling stories of community-driven care. We expect more, many more, to be rolling in in the coming months. But here’s the catch: these stories are extremely diverse. They all do have some vague resemblance, but it is surprisingly hard to come up with a clear set of criteria to parse what is open care from what is not. For most people, open care seems to be like pornography: easy to recognize, but hard to define. This workshop attempts to shine some light on the matter, helping the OpenCare team and community converge on a shared vision of just what it is that we are studying.
Practical information
The workshop is led by @Ezio_Manzini and lasts about three hours. It is organized for the OpenCare research team, but, within reason, open to the community and the public. If you wish to participate, let us know by leaving a comment below.
Location: Stockholm School of Economics, Sveavägen 65 113 83
How to prepare
- Read this, the minimal viable common ground.
- Choose one of the stories of care already accrued to OpenCare, and prepare to tell other participants why you think this is a story of open care. The "care" part is generally fairly obvious, so it comes down to saying what makes these initiatives open. You can find many stories and the conversations around them here and here.
- More detailed instructions on how to prepare – including a detailed agenda – are here.
- A background paper by Ezio. This expands on the post referred to in item 1 of this list. It is a short read, highly recommended.
Looking forward to this!
