| Activity | Two hour co-creation gathering on Internet |
| Title | The Great Renaissance : healing commons and technology for self-determination |
| Synthesis |
Our joy of life improves when we feel actors of our life, it declines when restrictions are imposed on us (Ng et al, 2012). During this workshop, we will explore how thousands of humans can cooperate to solve global crises far more rapidly, adequately, and cheaper than governments or corporations (Balli, 2021). We will build on the practice and research on commons, pioneered by Dr Elinor Ostrom, first woman awarded the Nobel in economics, and Dr Stefano Rodotà, who led the Italian commission recommending that access to resources depend on their social purpose rather than who owns them. |
