Completely agree with you, Rossana!
Following this argument, the “artefacts/services/devices” that WeMake will prototype at the end of the co-design sessions are not the final result of the process. In my mind final results (to be evaluated) are related to the questions listed above.
@Rossana_Torri so the way I see it is that we can:
1) trust to get answers to these questions when the ethno/ network analysis is done - based on the stories of care that already mention intersections with regulatory systems:
Examples “You hear a lot about precarious funding, internal or outside conflicts, political and economic pressure, multitasking, impossible workloads, competition between projects. At the same time, dealing with complex and often rigid political and social institutions, community activists have to become self-trained experts in finances, public relations, lobbying, community-organizing etc. But these fights are long and complex and the institutions and their procedures require a patience that easily outlive the time, the physical and mental resources individuals and grassroots initiatives are able to mobilize.” (Prinzessinnengarten, Berlin). Or working on a donation basis was my nod to being a non-commercial entity, which (as far as I know) means the clinic is not subject to licensing - similarly to people who volunteer in hospices, addiction recovery centres etc. I am conflicted on this - on the one hand, I recognise that some degree of regulation of healthcare is probably desirable to avoid malpractice and protect patients (Acupuncture clinic in Mortdoor, UK)
2) Launch a Challenge specifically on your question: What role for public actors to reframe care systems?
Have a look at the 4 challenges so far and let’s work on a new one? It can be a description of Welfare di tutti and challenges you have. That would inspire others to open up too. I had a conversation with someone in Milano a few days ago working in healthcare and they were skeptical of sharing issues online because of damaging reputation. Setting a good example would go a loong way and inspire people to be open and constructive!
Once the brief intro story is online, we can join forces to reach out specifically to administrations. You could run an internal process in which you ask people to send theirs by email and we upload them in accounts created with their emails and a username they choose. This way you don’t ask them to come online from the beginning and come across a scary or weird platform?
Let me know, I made the same offer to WeMake team a while ago but no brief… I also asked everyone in the team to share their personal stories of care and use them for engagement instead of linking to opencare.cc or generic pages… Basically if we want conversations around something we need to start them and set the example.
Sorry for the rant
