Relationships between collaborative economy, the commons and the market. Business models for utopians. Presented at Creative Commons Global Summit 2017, in Toronto.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery: let's make the commons sexy againMarcela Basch
The idea of the commons is much older than capitalism. But somehow we got used to the opposite idea: that everything is private property unless stated otherwise. A lot of problems already have open source solutions, but those who need them not always can find them. How to complete that missing link to help the commons to fulfill their promises of a fairer, inclusive society?

Social Innovation Generation presents a talk by Ezio Manzini titled "Creative Communities and Sustainable Qualities". The talk discusses how social innovation is changing the world and what design can do to trigger and support it. Manzini argues that another world is emerging through ideas that work to solve social problems through social innovation, collaboration, creativity, re-combining what exists, re-inventing traditions, and citizens involvement. He discusses what designers can contribute through (co)design and questions what is missing and what new qualities are emerging.
The sharing economy has the potential to reduce resource consumption and waste by increasing the usage duration of goods. Sharing models like redistribution, mutualization, and shared mobility can help optimize the use of items through renting, lending, and swapping. However, the environmental benefits depend on factors like the quality and durability of shared goods, transportation optimization, and whether sharing encourages sustainable or hyper-consumption. Public authorities can support sharing by establishing favorable economic and regulatory frameworks, while entrepreneurs and users also have roles to play in analyzing impacts and improving environmental performance to realize the sharing economy's sustainability potential.
4.1 Towards Social Equity And Cohesion Vezzoli 07 08 (28.10.08)vezzoli
The document discusses design for social equity and cohesion. It argues that environmental and socio-ethical sustainability are connected, and that promising emerging economic models like distributed economies and solidarity cooperative networks can help achieve both. Local-based and network-structured enterprises are highlighted as a model that facilitates access to resources and empowerment. A system innovation approach is proposed to couple eco-efficiency with social equity goals in both industrialized and developing contexts.

Collaborative Economy in Argentina: the meeting of two paradigms. Between the startup model and the minga culture. Showed at Kultursymposium Weimar 2016, Weimar, June 2 2016.
My Creativity Final Presentation @ Winter Camp 09gueste213a45d
The document discusses debates around the concept of "creative industries" from 2009-2012. It questions whether identifying with this term plays into the hands of policymakers, and debates strategies for using entrepreneurial models while addressing precarity and other issues. Alternative economic structures and business models were explored through collaborations and a website providing guidelines for working contracts. Challenges included contradictory messages around creative industries and addressing cultural diversity.

Aalborg "Think Space Conference"... Community-based Alternative EconomyIsrael Sanchez
A general overview about degrowth in the multidimensional crisis, and the Social Reaction in the neighbour of Pumarejo (Sevilla) in the last 15 years. Also how the Social Currency PUMA is working in this context.
This document summarizes a presentation about the collaborative economy given by Maud Richet of OuiShare Rouen. It discusses the rise of collaborative consumption platforms and economic models based on sharing access rather than ownership. It also outlines OuiShare, an international community and think tank promoting collaborative values and practices through knowledge production, incubating projects, and building a global network of local communities.

FITA is an organization that aims to install landmarks called FITAs around the world to guide people and connect them with others who share their interests. The document discusses plans for the first FITA location called FITA WIT, which will be a space in Sant Cugat, Spain to support talent and creativity. FITA WIT will provide mentoring, funding, and resources to help turn ideas into real projects that can benefit communities. It will also connect people through an "Agora of Knowledge" and "Concept Market" to share knowledge and collaborate. The goal is for FITA WIT to help ideas and create startups that can then fund organizations working for the common good.
This document provides a vision for cities of the future that are smart, shareable, vertical, and green. It describes how smart cities will use sensors and digital technology to improve living standards. Shareable cities will utilize shared goods, services, and resources through peer-to-peer networks. Vertical cities will build up with multiple levels to accommodate more people in urban areas. Green cities will focus on sustainability, renewable energy, green space, and environmentally-friendly transportation.
Cultural Management Issues In The Tourism IndustryCindy Wooten
The document discusses cultural management issues in the tourism industry and how understanding different cultures can impact business success. It focuses on promoting a British travel agency, Beach Bum Ltd, in China by training employees to be culturally sensitive. Being aware of cultural differences in areas like business practices, communication styles, and values is important for building relationships and making sales. The briefing aims to help employees appreciate diverse cultures to improve profits.

We propose a frame for the projects to be born: they should benefit community and individual’s empowerment, built on abundance (community and individual assets), open organizations and that promote common good
This document discusses social innovations and creative communities that propose new, more sustainable ways of living. It provides examples of initiatives around the world that address everyday life problems through collaboration and reciprocity. These include food purchasing groups, community centers, carpooling networks, and urban gardens. The document advocates designing solutions that improve the visibility of these communities and inspire collaborative services to facilitate access while maintaining their small, relational qualities. It poses questions about how to activate micro-projects and achieve macro-level transformation through identifying synergies between initiatives.
Day 2 Keynote, Nneka Chukwurah & Sarah HendersonCityStarters
The document discusses the collaborative economy and how it aims to create a fairer future. It defines key terms like the gig economy, sharing economy, and collaborative economy. It then gives examples of different collaborative businesses and platforms that are building a fairer system by focusing on access over ownership, collaboration over competition, and networks over hierarchies. These examples include OLIO which reduces food waste, Peerby which enables neighbor-to-neighbor sharing, and Enrol Yourself which supports life-long peer learning. The document ends by discussing how blockchain and worker cooperatives could shape the future of work and encourages the audience to consider collaborative principles in their own businesses.

[Challenge:Future] Moral underpinnings of CapitalismChallenge:Future
This document discusses the moral underpinnings of capitalism and proposes solutions. It argues that capitalism has led to mass consumerism focused on goods rather than values. This causes environmental degradation for which no one takes responsibility. To solve problems, the document suggests adopting a human-centered approach that focuses on people over markets. It proposes designing products and services that solve problems and create positive experiences rather than just consuming goods. A future, sustainable form of "value-based" capitalism is envisioned where economics benefits both people and the environment.
The Risky City: 2014 ASEM workshop on creative citiesCallum Lee
Experts from Europe and Asia met to discuss how cities can foster creativity and innovation. They outlined three phases to develop a "Risky City" where people are encouraged to take risks and try new ideas: 1) Identifying and nurturing potential through diversity and creative learning. 2) Growing potential via incubators and removing barriers. 3) Harnessing potential by developing international strategies and using universities to attract talent and investment. The goal is to integrate creativity across all sectors and empower citizens to shape their city.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Collaborative economy usually means…
Decentralization and distribution instead of centralization
(of capital, power, decisions, actions).
Acces instead of ownership.
P2P networks and desintermediation.
Anticonsumerims, enviromental conscious, fair trade, equity, focus on humans.
Commons orientation.
Wide variety of initiatives, both for profit and nonprofit, concerning material
and inmaterial goods, services, knowledge, rights, food, technologie, spaces,
identities. Not all always compatible!

makerspaces + analogical repair clubs
online second hand sales platforms + physical “all free” fairs to recirculate goods
free software + free hardware + collaborative natural construction + permaculture
carpooling + common good + disco sopa + open data + citizen innovation

Commons meaning?
Pool of shared resources in a community, either material o immaterial, analogical or

A kit of rules to use those resources and make them available to everyone.
An approach, a perspective, a language to frame our world and lives.
A resistance and resilience culture against privatisation and mercantilization.
Some values: ethics, fairness, equity, openness, p2p, reciprocity, focus on humans?

So what is exactly a commons oriented
initiative (and what’s not)?
-an NGO? A non profit organization? a charity?
-a reserch project/ lab? a personal project?
- a coop? a platform coop, an open coop, a regular one?
-a company or startup? could the profit be compatible with the commons orientation?
a. If so, would that be a regular company with just some "commons
orientation"?
b. Or coded somehow, for instance a B corp, wich retains the right to take
decisions opposed to earning money to facilitate the "other mission"?
c. What about the benefits of the company or initiative? Would they be
compromised or regulated? How?
Does it depend only in the value that it delivers? How should that value be distributed or
protected to consider it a COI?
Is it relevant how it’s funded? How is it managed? How does it manage data?

Core values: ethics, common good, equity, reciprocity, dignity, human

How to protect the idea of the commons from

Neither free software, nor crowdfunding will
save us from capitalism. We can’t overthrow
capitalism by undertaking work merely for
