A nebula of actors, projects and approaches gravitating around 4 essential know-how : #CODE/DATA: For creating a set of digital tools and working towards
interoperability between platforms and datasets. #GOVERNANCE: How to organise networked civic actions? How contributive data are moderated and updated collectively ? #PARTICIPATION+: What innovative, inclusive, creative and attractive processes for reaching a wide audience? How to couple digital processes with physical interfaces ? #GRASS-ROOTS ENGAGEMENT: How to address the issues of grass-roots and working class areas and to work in coproduction with its inhabitants?
And 4 objectives :
#MAKING VISIBLE: basic objective in mapping (community assets or
networks mapping, countermapping ...) #CONTRIBUTIVE DATA: using citizen data provided through online platforms or physical events #SHARING KNOWLEDGE: maps as interfaces to find specific knowledge around a place or a topic #SUPPORTING COOPERATION: maps as interfaces to build strategies of cooperation and to strengthen connections.
CIVIC (MAPPERS) BECAUSE THEY FOSTER :
citizen expertise, citizen empowerment, comunity-led initiatives, cooperations, social justice, inclusion, commons and local resources, short supply chains, civic economy, energy transition ...
How can they cooperate through a Community of Practice and address the needs for platforms of a fair and inclusive Networked City ?
A platform to organise community collaboration and co-production with each other and with universities, practitioners and possibly local authorities.
Local expertises and needs - COMMUNITIES - ACTION GROUPS - MINORITIES - INDIVIDUALS (practitioners, administration ...)
