Co-design of the pluriversal Commons Model Canvas

Abstract

Are you engaged in a commons-related project – past, present, or future – or do you want to integrate commoning into a project? This workshop is a supportive space for conference participants engaged with the commons to explore how they conceptualize and communicate the commons internally and externally. The workshop will focus on critiquing and adapting the Commons Model Canvas, an adaptation of the Business Model Canvas created by the workshop organizers to validate their own commoning practices. Participants are invited to complete a Commons Model Canvas for their project, share this work with the group for discussion, and to participate in adapting the Commons Model Canvas for future use. Based on our own research through design, participants can expect: to expand their knowledge about the commons and pluriversal design, to gain insightful peer feedback on their commoning projects, and to forge a potential peer network for future collaboration.
