But how do we jump-start initiative, maintain it and ensure that it is sustainable beyond moments of acute emergency? How do we create the conditions for citizen action to become a key element of our society?Searching for answers to these questions while under quarantine, a variety of actors (laboratories, mediators, activists, researchers, etc.) gathered to think about how the<strong> ecosystem of citizen innovation<\/strong> could be organised in a lasting and sustainable way.<a href=\"https:\/\/frenalacurva.net\/colaboratorio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Co-laboratory meeting<\/a> held from 27\u201330 April 2020, as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/frenalacurva.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frena La Curva<\/a> (Flatten the Curve) was organised around five key issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shared framework;<\/li>\n<li>Relationships among stakeholders;<\/li>\n<li>Resources, infrastructures and tools;<\/li>\n<li>Lines of work and projects;<\/li>\n<li>Dialogue and impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;15654,15655&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;kalium_lightbox&#8221;][vc_column_text]As Makea Tu Vida, we form part of the group \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/frenalacurva.net\/colaboratorio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colaboratorio para pensarnos juntas<\/a>\u2018 (Co-laboratory for Reimagining Unity), an <strong>initiative of collective reflection<\/strong> on how to <strong>organise ecosystems of citizen innovation<\/strong> in order to respond to social challenges caused by the COVID-19 health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative arose as part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenalacurva.net\/\"><u>Frenalacurva.net<\/u><\/a>, a <b>citizen platform launched in March 2020<\/b> that has given visibility to over <b>900 solidarity-based initiatives around cooperation and citizen resilience<\/b>, brought to life during the pandemic by volunteers, entrepreneurs, activists, social organisations, makers and laboratories of public and open innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Co-laboratory for Reimagining Unity<\/b> was launched in April thanks to the motivation of a very driven group made up of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colaborabora.org\/colaborabora\/que-es\/\"><u>Colaborabora<\/u><\/a> (Bilbao), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medialab-prado.es\/medialab#block-medialab-theme-content\"><u>Medialab Prado<\/u><\/a> (Madrid), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasnaves.com\/som\/\"><u>Las Naves<\/u><\/a> (Valencia), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/about\/\"><u>Makeatuvida<\/u><\/a> (Barcelona), <a href=\"http:\/\/hirikilabs.tabakalera.eu\/about\/\"><u>Hirikilabs<\/u><\/a> (Donostia) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citilab.eu\/qui-som\/laboratori-ciutada\/\"><u>Citilab<\/u><\/a> (Cornell\u00e0 de Llobregat) and in light of a shared need: <b>to jumpstart a collective conversation about how the ecosystem of citizen innovation could be organised in a more lasting and sustainable way.<\/b><br \/>\nTherefore, the main objective of the Co-laboratory was, from the very beginning, <b>to unite those active in this ecosystem of social innovation <\/b>(both nationally and internationally) and invite them to collaboratively share their thoughts with the aim of joining forces, sharing knowledge and resources, creating and connecting communities, developing infrastructures and shared projects, streamlining processes and evaluating the results.<\/p>\n<p>For this to happen, the core group designed a <b>virtual process divided into six stages<\/b> and named after six key concepts: <b>proposing, sharing, summarising, progressing, concluding<\/b> and <b>presenting<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, all of the participants interested in collaborating in this collective reflection sent <b>brief texts summing up their thoughts, ideas and personal proposals<\/b>. The second stage, closely tied to the first stage, consisted of pooling all of these individual ideas, publishing them on the Co-laboratory\u2019s website and encouraging people to read them and exchange initial reactions.<\/p>\n<p>After these first two reflective stages, the Co-laboratory group held the <b>first online meeting<\/b>, where they shared their impressions after reading more than <b>53 texts<\/b>, agreed on what main topics to structure the conversations around and finally set up the work groups.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of two days,<b> more than 150 stakeholders associated with the ecosystem of social innovation logged in from different locations around the world to connect with each other and address different topics<\/b> within these work groups: the digital divide, open data, education, work, active aging, public space, skills training, gender, the maker world, the environment, mobility, participation, poverty, working from home and the reorganisation it entails and many more.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusions drawn from these online discussions were shared at a final online gathering, streamed for public viewing. This \u201cconclusion\u201d, however, did not mark the end of the initiative \u2013 quite the opposite, in fact. It was a <b>jumping off point after collaboratively defining the needs and challenges of organising these innovative ecosystems. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>After a period of analysis and collaboration, we published <i><b>\u00bfY si nos enredamos? Colaboratorio para pensarnos juntas<\/b><\/i><b> <\/b>(What if we do it together? Co-laboratory for Reimagining Unity). This publication, which resulted from the work carried out between April and September 2020, is a collective story. It was edited mainly by the core group, bearing witness to this collaborative work done online during the lockdown period, dealing with the organisation of ecosystems of citizen innovation.<\/p>\n<p>This document compiles all of the work carried out in the Co-laboratory around its various working themes. It is our source code and roadmap for continuing the organisational process for the Ecosystem of Citizen Innovation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;15656,15657&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;kalium_lightbox&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Timeline Colaboratorio&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.knightlab.com%2Flibs%2Ftimeline3%2Flatest%2Fembed%2Findex.html%3Fsource%3D1OdcXgbMG9vtjWUKIWL8avVpWfMnsa6w6OIkijj3w2xU%26font%3DDefault%26lang%3Den%26initial_zoom%3D2%26height%3D650|target:_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602582968291{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15647&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; title=&#8221;Informe Colaboratorio&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/frenalacurva.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ElColaboratorio.pdf&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy for distributed coordination between different groups, agents, citizen laboratories, and public institutions for the consolidation of the Citizen Innovation Ecosystem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":22086,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,333,331],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actions","category-platform","category-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22427"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25487,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22427\/revisions\/25487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.makeatuvida.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
