Sessions
In the face of increasing climate disasters, social unrest, and the collapse of long-held economic systems, people around the globe have been building innovative solutions that empower, engage, and protect their communities - providing alternatives that are both locally relevant and globally applicable.
This conversation invites practitioners working across countries and contexts doing the work to be in community with one another, share what's working, what we're learning, and where the challenges lie.
Together, we'll explore what is truly required for community designed, owned, and governed infrastructure to effectively mitigate the growing effects of climate, social, and economic rupture, and approaches to scale.
The DWeb community has been out in the world, trying things. Some are working. Others… not so much.
This choose-your-own-adventure session will start with brief intros to two workshops focused on patterns that work:
- 4 Key Elements for Effective Community Governance Organizations
- Entanglement by Design
Followed by intros to two workshops focused on how things go wrong:
- Anti-patterns of Exit to Community in Web3
- Wins, Wreckage, and Wisdom: How Projects Survive (and Why They Don’t)
We will then all gather back together for a FishBowl session (a lively and participatory rotating panel discussion) to share noticings, ahas and inspirations.
