17. DEFINITION, OBJECTIVE AND PHILOSOPHY
A) Definition : “The protocol consists in a free, several day long learning expedition in
a city, which brings together different stakeholders (academics, entrepreneurs,
activists, makers, journalists, artists, students, etc.) and relies on a partly improvised
process (both the people met and places visited are part of the improvisation that
emerges in the flow of discussions) »
B) Objective : to accumulate OWEEs in time and space, to link them with powerful
digital and spoken narratives to transform collaborative practices between
academics/researchers, citizens, entrepreneurs, freelancers, managers, activists,
makers, artists, students, journalists…
C) Philosophy : OWEE, the acculumation of experiences, practives and wisdom
around OWEE processes aims at becoming a common good for researchers and
citizens. It aims at transforming the conditions of possibility of collaboration in the
city in the flow of collaboration itself. The cultures, valuers, aesthetics and practices of
makers, hackers, DIY and DIT are at the heart of this experience.
