 ===== Harvest from the Resilients workshop 2010 ===== ===== Harvest from the Resilients workshop 2010 =====
 +
 +==== The purpose of Resilients ====
 +
 +Why is the project "resilients" still important at this time in the world and for whom?
 +If we are the Resilients, what will we do, how will we look, where will we be...?
 +
 +  * Resilients will help us prepare for unspeakable futures
 +  * Resilients speak to novices and supports isolated change makers - cultural, scientific
 +  * Resilients provide sparks for people in the everyday.
 +  * With Resilients we diversify, strengthen and extend existing networks that are fragile, in order to enhance cultural resilience (across scales - individuals, organisations, wider cultural networks)
 +  * Resilients foster life-enhancing and rebalancing of humans and the rest of the planet (resilience is invisible, and tested by time). 
 +  * Resilients use [intentional] story-telling to explore, communicate and develop presences/presents into potential futures of complete [social, environmental, personal, economic] ecologies
 +
 +
 +==== Resilients - Why & how ====
 +
 +We first had a conversation about why Resilients is relevant, then split up in Open Space sessions to discuss possible tactics & strategies...
 +
 +----
 +----
 +
 +=== Connections ===
 +
 +Finding, connecting and supporting existing fragile resilients (individuals, organisations, networks)
 +
 +
 +== Buddha Hotel ==
 +
 +participants: Trudo, Robert, Loes, Maja, Tim
 +
 +Buddha hotel is a residency format for connection, network strengthening, travels, interaction
 +Is the "normal" residency model still interesting??
 +
 +What resilient residencies need:
 +not boring, offer & demand, results, format
 +[AIR BnB to fund a residency]
 +
 +----
 +
 + == Interpenetrations ==
 +
 +participants: Bart, Christina, Cocky, Theun, Loes, Andy, Robert, Lina
 +
 +Making online lists per partner, about its expertises, future/current projects wishes etc. Internal open calls for competence pooling will pair up groups in concrete ideas/questions/problems to solve/ask in production/research contexts.
 +Additional collaborative models are: 
 +  * format > localisation 
 +  * format > translation/adaptation
 +
 +----
 +
 +== Invitation and initiation ==
 +
 +participants: Andy, Pippa, Maja, Lina, Theun
 +
 +pitch: 
 +  * enter public events that target all age groups (children, mid-adults, older people), though not all at the same time. 
 +  * there will be a core event guide (e.g. always food)
 +  * local events always communicated to the mesh of all
 +  * guests always "plug" the next event, meeting, workshop
 +  * invite the guest to mailing lists (announce, discuss and wiki)
 +  * regular meetups exploring EU partner topics, e.g. this month energy, food security
 +  * TOPIC based "rabbitholes", e.g. bees (bee exhibition, bee workshop, implement beekeeping knowledge, start a new hive, relocate, process honey for barter/sale)
 +
 +Older people - seek them out; how are they/their projects resilient, how do they see today's challenges? Prepare for getting old - if we are lucky we get old, but how do we stay lucky when we are old?
 +
 +Old, (not active) specialists: scientists, technologists, farmers, healers volunteering to give their knowledge, opinion, integrity, skills
 +
 +----
 +----
 +
 +=== Life-enhancing ===
 +
 +Fostering Life-enhancing and rebalancing of humans & the rest of the planet
 +
 +
 +== Technogaian - Design and Science ==
 +
 +participants: Nik, Carole, Hendrik, Simone, Lina, Andy
 +
 +Traditional craft/ contemporary craft/ science theory designers/philosophers/scientists/story tellers
 +
 +  * a series of workshops, residencies
 +  * a design commission - how do you identify the problem form the perspective of both science and design. objective is to test the resilience of a system, i.e. what would you change about the transport system/living behaviours with climate change in different European countries?
 +  * how do we fabricate in the future, looking at biological fabrication and how they can be applied? 
 +  * how do we live in the hotter future? do we introduce the siesta from Spain in Sweden?
 +
 +----
 +----
 +
 +=== Stories ===
 +
 +Telling and embodying stories of complete ecologies (past - present - future)
 +
 +== Global Apocalypse Management Agency ==
 +
 +participants: Dougald, Simone, Vinay, Theun, Nik
 +
 +A game in which players start as an apprentice and learn, become journeymen by travelling across Europe to learn at centres of excellence and graduate as guild masters of resilience.
 +
 +----
 +----
 +
 +=== Unspeakable futures ===
 +
 +How do we prepare for unspeakable futures?
 +
 +== Resilients as a Start-Up ==
 +
 +participants: Vinay, Nik, Trudo, Andy, Tim, Dougald
 +
 +  * the resilients as a network of future re-enactment societies
 +  * Dungeons and Dragons for resilience, ARG, Steampunk, theatrical co-product with existing networks, use organic farms
 +  * revenue through training for game masters?
 +  * burning man
 +  * Etsy as an inspiration - profitable for good relationship with users, part of the same scene
 +festivals 4 times a year
 +
 +----
 +----
 +
 +==== Resilients branches ====
