OpenCivics

= "a solidarity network and community of practice where civic innovators, stewards, and patrons collaborate to address the complex challenges of our time. Our focus is on fostering regenerative, decentralized solutions". [1]

Description

The OpenCivics Network Wiki "Supports place-based organizers and civic innovators by providing open methodologies, protocol libraries, and participatory governance tools.

Knowledge & Ontologies: Content is structured around an open protocols library, using a hierarchical knowledge system:

● Patterns describe broad solution domains (e.g. bioregional mapping). ● Protocols provide step-by-step instructions for specic actions (e.g. citizen science). ● Playbooks bundle protocols into applied models (e.g. participatory mapping workshop + eco-credit creation process)."
