Commons Culture Communications - 2013
This is a workshop proposal, not yet confirmed
Concept
Workshop of 20 persons (max) from different continents focused on discussing and defining actions related with communication, education and culture around the Commons paradigm and Cultures of Commoning.
The main objective of the meeting is to gather different persons with skills on communication and educational projects in order to define plans and future initiatives to improve the communication about commons towards a broader public. Some future projects that could be discussed during the workshop include:
- Collaborative and distributed documentary film:
- During the last Latin America Commons Deep Dive, some ideas about creating some audiovisual pieces emerged as a way to reach large audiences: the two fundamental projects that was referred to in that moment were Remix the Commons (a multimedia platform with contents about the commons) and The Forbidden Education (a viral copyleft documentary produced in a collaborative way that reached millions of spectators in very short time).
- Open Educational Resources about the commons:
- While several "schools of commoning" are emerging in different countries, the production of high quality OER about the commons and practices of commoning would benefit and strength those educative networks
- Communication strategies:
- what ideas about the commons are the fundamental ones? what is the best way to communicate them? what languages can/has to be used in order to give a clear message?
- Which communication strategies (even from marketing/ publicity or advertising) can be used to strenghten our message?
- How to connect to other communication networks from Social Movements (as AMARC, Global Voices and others)
