With co-munity, we want to support the process of commons-based peer production, while at the same time allowing groups, organisations and communities to choose what to share and what to protect from the public.
In this space you can find degrowth materials, documents and media contributed under a Commons license. All content in the co-munity ecossystem, including in private groups and sections, can be "commonified" with a simple click on the commonify link that is available for content authors (read more on the commoning process of co-munity).
Note: the commoning feature is in development and has still limited access functionality to content in private groups
Mental infrastructures are a persons unconsciously internalized psychological, social and cultural settings. At the moment these models are strongly shaped by a growth-oriented pattern which affects also our actions and daily habits and help keeping us from building a sustainable society. But if social and ecological transformation is very closely linked to a transformation of our mental infrastructures – how do we deal with these? Can we „change“ mental infrastructures? And how?
In the course we adressed this topic from different perspectives. We theoretically discussed infrastructures of growth and where they come from. And we tried to reflect our own mental models actively and experiment with their convertibility by offering a variety of experience-based workshops. For details on the program of the course and its respective workshops, see the event post.
