SUMMARY:The Commons Transition in Practice (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nCities are becoming a new and hopeful transnational governance level. They are organising themselves in a whole tissue of networks (Fearless Cities\, Fabcities\, etc.)\, working together in domains like climate policy\, renewable energy and urban economy. \nAt the same time\, citizens are developing a whole range of urban commons\, based on co-operation and an ethics of care. Tired of only being a powerless consumer or a passive citizen\, we get active as maker\, urban farmer\, solidarity volunteer\, user of shared resources\, civic or social entrepreneur\, etc. This goes along with the establishment of new organisations and infrastructures like fab labs\, energy co-ops\, co-working spaces\, urban food production plots\, and many more. \nIn recent years\, we have seen cities like Ghent and Bologna moving a step further\, establishing structures and processes that aim at building synergies between the public and the commons domain. This is part of a new political vision\, the Partner State. So\, a partner city sustains and gives incentives to alternative civil and economic institutions\, like the commons and cooperatives. The conference\, as part of this year’s transnational project around Urban Commons Transitions\, therefore aims to look at these developments of collaborative city-making and to examine those prototypes of transformative cities as a driving force towards socio-ecological societies. \nLately institutions\, research groups and organisations were created to investigate how commons could be integrated in a more sustainable way in the vivid networks of cities. \nAbout the Event\nThe seminar will be kicked off by two experts who will share their experiences and knowledge: Michel Bauwens (P2P-Foundation) and Elena De Nictolis (LabGov). Afterwards\, all participants are invited to enrich the debate by contributing with their own perspective and experiences in the field. \nThis seminar organised with the support of our Flemish partner Oikos Think Tank is targeting participants that are already working on commons. By bringing together the theoretical and experiential experts\, this event aims to tackle the challenges on how urban commons transitions can be a prototype for creating socio-ecological societies.   \nMore info and updates can be found in our Facebook event. \nHow to register\nTo register for this seminar follow these steps: \n1.
