Week 3 to 5 Foundations Workshop
13 October 2008
Things are getting exciting!
These three weeks are dedicated to the Practice Lab, meaning that workshop participants can launch ideas for projects that will be developed within the workshop. These are supposed to be simple projects, just ideas on which we can elaborate on and produce some outputs. It doesn't have to be a final product - just an outline that can be continued after the workshop is over if participants wish to do it.
The projects that arose have to do with the launching and maintaining of CoPs. They are all related and linked, different moments of a CoP life, but since we don't have much time, it was better to divide in different groups to tackle more specifically each one of those moments.
It's interesting to see people grouping, organizing themselves and working together on issues that interest them without ever meeting before. Despite the fact we are all strangers, we have identified common interests and set a common ground for our actitivities these weeks.
What's even more interesting, is that there's somehow the expectation that people will stay in contact and still work on these and other kind of projects if that makes sense to them. It may not happen because it's not easy to keep people connected when we all have so much to do and so many priorities to attend to... but it's very comforting and reassuring that that possibily exists and everyone is aware of it.
