"There is so much that every one of us can do, and so much to be gained by doing it—not the least of which is a sense of your own agency."
"Experimentation and play can open up space. Instead of making a plan, think of one small step you can take and then see what happens. […] Notice what patch of ground or sky you can see from this new position, and take another step."
"What actually happens in a bargaining transaction is the co-construction of a storyline that both sides end up committing to."

Vers quelles intelligences #collectives ?
Livret en accès libre :

Nous situons l’intelligence collective en tant que résultat non prescriptible d’une activité de #groupe, comme phénomène groupal non programmable par un outil, aussi ingénieux et pratique soit-il. La possibilité, et les vertus de l’échec, sont, pour nous, des constituants du processus groupal, et plus largement, de l’existence humaine. Il ne s’agira pas, ici, d’une « boite à outils d’IC » supplémentaire
Housing Cooperatives are:
•Collectively-owned
•Non-profit
•Democratically-controlled
•Community-building

#FluConf2025 has a dedicated track for Solidarity Networks and Community Health, through which we aim to promote bottom-up efforts to organize our own social safety nets.
We want to hear from people raising awareness about policy vacuums, building coalitions between adjacent camps, and working at the margins to address underserved demographics. Share your stories about public infrastructure, mutual aid, boycotts, unionization, strikes, legal defense, debt-forgiveness, and other forms of collective action.
How are you countering misinformation about public health topics? How do we build resilience in our communities and welcome newcomers? How can we take care of each other in the wake of wars, climate disasters, lgbtq persecution, and unnecessary poverty.
