Peeragogy in Action

Briefly describe your campaign and why it’s important to you.
Why we do it:

We believe that there is no shortage of good ideas for solving the problems of our time, but there is a need to introduce new socio-economic and education, in public spaces dedicated to their development and sustainability planning. Bergamo HUB will be designed and engineered to meet this requirement. we decided to propose to the destination city of the former Central thermoelectric via Deste Spalenga Bergamo ITALY spaces equipped with all the tools necessary support meeting social, cultural, creative and technology to the city.

How we want to achieve:

Endogenesis AND DESIGN comparticipated The endogenesis design, generation, internal training project comes as study module applied to the research community in the field of education and training: Peeragogy.org.

What we want to achieve:

We want to allow the talent and creativity of our people to find the best conditions in order to realize their ideas, project proposals and aspirations. But above all, spaces for meaningful encounters, exchange and inspiration, full of different people will do amazing things together. Bergamo HUB will be part of an international network of beautiful physical spaces where entrepreneurs, and creative professionals will have access to all the resources, let inspired by the work of others, have innovative ideas, develop useful relationships and individual tify new market opportunities and development. It will be a space dedicated citizen innovation and social entrepreneurship and the people who promote. here you can meet people very different, contractors and operators non-profit organizations, professionals, young people, students, educators, designers and experts in different sectors, all united by the desire to improve and enhance the lives of community sharing ideas and challenges of the future.

Express the magnitude of what contributors will help you achieve.
Coworking: what does it mean for us?

Share space and share ideas. The sharing of space is an essential, which allows everyone to have a physical place (nice) where you can present and promote their ideas for the city. The conception of the office, with a lot of walls and locked rooms, where the interaction and socialization are minimized, in our opinion, does not work anymore, except for those already entrepreneurial initiated and with a workforce important. The true value of an item is exactly Hub give a soul to the physical space. All persons who attend Bergamo Hub and its creative workshops will feel at ease, never not receive this place as an office or a classroom, and will therefore be more likely to open up, to socialize and interact with other members and entrepreneurs. With the support of Hosting team also, the goal is to create synergies between all members and promote new projects of social entrepreneurship and cultural center for the city.

Polytechnic University of Arts Bergamo A possible division of arts and cultural activities although not all include, is one of the nine arts. Originally drafted in 1923 by the Italian poet Ricciotto Canudo, extended with the last two entries by the French critic Claude Beylie in 1964.

Mission statement:
The aim of the FTG is to support people learning through practice in free technology projects. As a group will do useful projects for our members or external parties, and on-the-job we mentor and learn and get better.

Why we do it
Most previous contemporary free/open source projects, and free/open source projects, do not take ”learning” into account but nevertheless, learning is a key part of what makes these projects work! Most people who to participate in such projects want to, or have to, learn something! By supporting learning, we will make free technology better! And: free technology as a vital economic and human adaptation for the current juncture in history. We are not yet in an ”abundance economy”, but we can in our lifetimes make some important contributions to getting there. The FTA is a good example of an organization that ”does” emphasize learning however, it does not currently emphasize learning through practice;. The aim of the FTG is to support people learning through practice in free technology projects. Other organizations that have tried to do something similar have not taken the same global approach. We are working to make it so that people aren’t lost, and can be brought up to speed with the skills they need to make progress using free technology; 2 and, conversely, so that teaching is better incentivized among knowledgeable people working in the free technology space. And we want to do this in a fully ”’open”’ way, so that the knowledge we build is accessible to all, and supports the differentiation of creative assets through inter- personal contact and confronting new ways of doing things on social and knowledge networks. We build on a ”’free as in freedom”’ platform, so everyone has the freedoms to continue learning, building, innovating and has the basic rights to make a living out of his/her activities. The economic wellbeing of the participants is essential to build an economically sustainable network of peers, so that these great ideas don’t just remain ”wishful thinking”.

”In short, the activities we contribute are conceived as useful projects for our own needs, or for others. We can do that to help others out of solidarity, to show what we’re capable of, or in exchange for economic benefits, or a combination. And in all that we do we learn, and teach and get better every iteration.”

How we do it
”Elevator pitch”

One floor
The aim of the FTG is to support people learning through practice in free technology projects. As a group will do useful projects for our members or external parties, and on-the-job we mentor and learn and get better.

Two floors
We provide learning and economic opportunities to participants interested in free technology projects, by involving them directly in real work teams.

Additional points

 * We can make free technology work better by ”matching up participants based on what they want, and what they can provide.”
 * We can make free technology work better by ”building a better (free, open, distributed, peer produced) knowledge base.”
 * We can support learning by ”working with any/every partner project working in this space”. (Ideally, we would partner with organizations like Ohloh and OpenHatch that ”already” work with many open source software projects.)
 * We can help people provide more information about projects by ”building ontologies that describe free technology and its processes.”
 * We can be a communication platform, where we ”host all kinds of exchanges about free technology (learning, contractual/financial, etc.).”
 * We can ”provide ’sources of reputation’ for people working in this space.”
 * We can ”offer consulting services to individual people and projects (about questions like ’How can my free software project work better?’), where our advice is based on experience with a wide number of different projects”

Group rules
Most organizations (even society) publish a set of rules to guide how they want their people to act inside the organization. More often than not, most of these rules tell us what not to do. Don’t lie. Don’t steal. Don’t use the copy machine after 8pm. Don’t use company resources for personal use. I think offering a set of rules is a good thing - they help maintain order inside an organization. Understanding the value of such guidance, I recently issued a set of rules to my team. But there is a catch. In our organization, there will be no rules to tell us what not to do. Rules that tell us what not to do hold people back. Instead the rules should help push people forward. In our group, the rules consist of a list of the things that are allowed. It’s called the ”Allowed List”, and this is what it says.

’’We are allowed to” Everyone decides to support the project I hope should follow these rules and everyone is expected to hold theothers accountable to them. After all, if we didn’t follow the rules...there’d be chaos.
 * 1) ”Make” the decision you think is the right decision to make
 * 2) ”Start” something that needs to be started to help advance the cause
 * 3) ”Ask” for help whenever you want it
 * 4) ”Help” others whenever you can (even if they dont ask for it)
 * 5) ”Take” time off to do something that inspires, excites and energizes you

Big picture
Learn how make ideas into reality, inspire people to imagine a different develop- ment model, plant trees under whose shade we intend to sit.

Concrete capsule summary

 * mentoring/coaching, teaching/training, software/technology/knowledge deveopment, deployment, incubation of projects, project consulting
 * and hosting a network/platform/market for other people to do the same, using free software and other free technologies!

Other Ways You Can Help
Open Space Technology (OST)

The Open Space Technology is a methodology that allows, within any type of organization, to create working groups (workshops) and meetings (meetings) particularly inspired and productive. It has been tested in the last twenty years in different countries around the world, used in the management of teams of minimum of 5 to a maximum of 2100 persons. This is an innovative method since in this way people tend not to get bored and, thanks to a pleasant climate, in a relatively short time they produce a summary document of all proposals / projects developed from the group (the instant report). Document that in addition to its practical usefulness becomes testimony of a job done and guarantee commitments.
