Discussion

George Por writes:

I would be much more inspired by co-creating a unique value-adding workshop for p2p practitioners and social entreprenerurs, rather than selling a packaged, introductory workshop for larger, general audiences even if the latter pays well.

I would be much more inspired by a workshop development process designed for succeeding only if we can learn from each other, rather than re-hashing and putting together, back-to-back, what we already know.

I would be much more inspired by a workshop format that also provides an entry point for those interested in an ongoing community of p2p practice, rather than a series of one-off events that add little to raise the CI of the p2p field itself.
