On June 21, 2022, we had the pleasure of hosting well-known Australian economist and geographer Katherine Gibson at our seminar on citizen economies in Bagneux. This was an opportunity to learn more about « diverse economies » and to practice in workshop form an alternative accounting of different forms of work for the benefit of the commons.

The FieldTrip / Worskhop C4R in Bucharest was continued by the roundtable discussion « From local to planetary : changing the way of life » where participated Gilles Clément, Constantin Petcou, Doina Petrescu, Stefan Pop, the Tranzit.ro team and a large public. The introduction by Raluca Voinea noticed the importance of this kind of open discussion as part of the C4R project. Doina Petrescu and Constantin Petcou presented the evolution of a driven-citizens ecological transition strategy (R-Urban) in a global environnemental context which is quickly deteriorating (summaries of the GIEC report were published the previous day). Gilles Clément demonstrated the importance of water for organisms at different scales, as well as the cultural stereotypes that must be overcome by professionals who want to fight against an excessive anthropization of the planet. A discussion with the audience allowed us to explore some ways of thinking grounded in the local context. Many thanks to the Tranzit.ro team for this perfect planning and to all the participants (despite the Covid and the heatwave!) !

Our first seminar will take place online on March 27. Want to be there? The first C4R seminar organised by AAA, Remix the Commons and and other C4R partners and collaborators (CASCO, Tranzit.ro, NetHood) focuses on the concept of resilience governance. The seminar proposes to compare a diversity of experiences of governance within civic cultural institutions as well as within resilience networks at different scales. This will open the field of reflection and experimentation on commons-based resilience through a process of semantic mapping and database creation.
