Sharing means collaborating. And collaboration stands for “an exchange in which the participants benefit from the encounter” (Sennet 2012)[1]. Doing so, they exchange something (time, experiences, expertise) to achieve a mutually recognized result. At the same time, they produce, as precious side effect, relational goods, as trust, friendliness, empathy, mutual attention and care.
My proposal is to use this relational goods production as norm of reading to evaluate sharing innovations and their evolution from first ideas to mature solutions.
Adopting this point of view, it can be easily recognized that, where at the beginning the majority of sharing ideas and practices were collaborative and capable to produce relational goods, in their evolution towards maturity, different innovation paths have been followed. The result is that some of them have totally lost their original collaborative character, and some others maintained it, adapting it to the new conditions. That is, finding the way to extend collaborative behaviours from the initial small groups of enthusiasts, to larger number of active, but far less committed actors.
My presentation focuses on this second path and, moving from here, discusses how sharing innovations can evolve, become mature and spread maintaining their collaborative dimension. That is, producing, reproducing and amplifying relational goods in the normal everybody’s everyday life. In other words, my proposal is that, for the sharing movement, after the gold rush there could be the challenging perspective of a disruptive normality: a condition in which, for a growing number of people, it becomes normal to think and behave in contrast with the unsustainable ideas and behaviours that, unfortunately, are still mainstream.
The Internet has so far been really good at helping people to do things together. But once there is money involved, we still need to create 20th century legal entities and collect money in black boxes. In this talk, we will explore how we can fund our communities today in a transparent way to make sure they have the financial resources to sustain themselves and to have a larger impact on society.

Peut-on instituer une véritable démocratie dans l'entreprise ? Y a-t-il des similarités avec la démocratie politique qui nous est familière ? Quelles sont les solutions proposées par les coopératives et les mutuelles implantées depuis longtemps en France ? Quelles sont les limites de ces modèles ?
La MAIF, le Crédit Coopératif et le Groupe Up (anciennement Groupe Chèque Déjeuner), en tant que mutuelle et coopératives, sont engagées depuis longtemps dans le maintien d'une gouvernance partagée.
Les Présidents de ces trois organisations partageront leurs expériences au cours de ce panel.
If the internet we use today is the internet of information, blockchain is the internet of value that can fundamentally disrupt business, economy & politics as we know it. The aim of this workshop is to understand the basic principals of blockchain and the potential of smart contracts that build on top of it. How does the blockchain affect you? What products and services can we build on top of it? Are the coders of today, the lawyers of the future? And what does the future of democracy look like?
The upcoming revolution of trust-commoditization will fundamentally alter power structures in society, disenfranchising institutions and its constituents born into a role of assumed guardianship of our economic and political world. I'll discuss why they were there the in first place, what has changed and throw some ideas around for how it might play out.
While civic tech grows with technology, people meet in real life. Are social networks, mobile phones, apps, digital video, VR, and blockchain the new tools of the revolution? Online voting platforms are expanding, as well as new collaborative toolboxes under the general label of collective intelligence.
The workshop will be interactive and participative and attendees will be asked to suggest various civic movements and methods of engagment, digital tools and platforms, public policy co-designed with citizens. Attendees and panel will review successful civic tech innovations (France and worldwide) leading to change.
Purpose:
Define “Made for Sharing”
Identify objects that could be “Made for Sharing”
Share inputs to what needs to be true for “Made for Sharing” to be an acknowledged term
Intro:
There are already many objects in cities, which are designed to be shared among many users. Everything public is naturally shared but new offerings, using a “private operating model” has also entered the public space. Bike and car sharing services are two well known examples.
Most recently, AirBnB has started investigating the potential for “designed for sharing” spaces so that homes could be directly designed with this goal of “sharing” or renting in mind.
Traditionally sharing, as an example, was setting up at box for sharing the books that you are finished with yourself, and maybe even the books that you do not really want to keep J So – to be blunt, sharing in the “old school” tradition was sharing the objects that you, for some reason, did not care about anymore.
Specific criteria need to be met in order to allow a high intensity of use. Most importantly, such objects need to be built to last.
However, our hypothesis is that “Made for Sharing” objects can have more ambitious goals than only a high intensity of use. Such objects can have the potential to trigger social interactions and contribute to activating the public space. This requires other specifications than merely being built to last: made for sharing objects need also to be social objects and need to have a design that can guarantee a good user experience.
In this workshop, we would like to challenge this idea of “Made for Sharing” objects and start a conversation about their characteristics.
We will use the concrete case of “OurHub” a social object designed with those questions in mind - to challenge the idea of “made for sharing” products. The participants will use this example as a starting point to discuss the concept of "made for sharing” and come up with ideas of new objects “made for sharing” within different categories: Play, Live, Work and Learn. Finally, the participants discuss what needs to be true for the term to become a more acknowledge term.
What is a Sharing City? Why should your city become one? And perhaps even more important: how?
Both Shareable and shareNL have been very active in the Sharing City field for years, and have decided to host this workshop together. Based on their experience on both the 'grassroots' and 'grasstops' levels, they invite you to come to this workshop to co-create a common vision and design for the 'Sharing City'.
Participants will learn from the humble experience of the presenters and from each other as we lay the groundwork together necessary to push the conversation forward both at OuiShare Fest and in our own communities and cities back home.
Should you have any suggestions for this workshop, feel free to contact us in advance:tom@shareable.net and harmen@shareNL.nl. For more information, please also take a look at www.shareable.net and www.shareNL.nl/englishpage. We are looking forward to meet you in May.
After the Gold rush and the consumerist appropriation of citizen’s collaborative mindset, how can we settle the sharing spirit and unleash its true power. Ecovillages shine as a systemic solution to transcend collaborative economy into a truly sustainable, sharing society.
We'll be playing (and co-creating !) a large scale board game to simulate this transition and demonstrate that local but interconnected sustainable self-sufficiency allows a global sharing economy we might all want to be part of.
We must change the way we think about migrants. With their diversity and mobility they can help us to make a much-needed cultural shift: to move from the traditional idea of living in solid and homogenous societies, toward the recognition that we already are experiencing open and dynamic — and therefore fluid and changeable — social forms and structures. A condition in which, in many ways, we are all mutually strangers.
The question then becomes: how can people who consider each other strangers live well together? How do we achieve connection within diversity? The answer is collaboration: the exchange of time, experiences, and expertise in order to achieve a mutually recognized result.
Even in contemporary society, with all its contradictions and complexity, collaboration is possible. Already we see collaborative social innovation in action between migrants and citizens — whether it’s organizing soccer games, playing music together, or starting up enterprises. Diverse people are able to meet and collaborate. And, doing so, to produce values for themselves and for the whole community. The task of design must be to create ecosystems where these forms of collaboration can grow and thrive, generating models that go well beyond the issue of migrants to improve social cohesion as a whole.
Pop-Up performances by Simón Adinia Hanukai of Kaimera Productions, in collaboration with GroupStudio and associated artists.
Selected audience members will be invited to take part in short (3-15 minute) pop-up performances taking place throughout the festival grounds. These performances, created specifically for this year’s Ouishare Fest, were inspired by the themes of the festival, as well as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic book The Little Prince.
Come along if you want to meet likeminded people and discuss the following issues:
Our so-called millennial generation seem to have all been born with a “button" attached, which says “Press Here to Change the World”. Given the state of the world this is probably a much needed button that needs to be pressed. However, do we press this button blindly? Have we been pressing this button blindly? Many of the Ouishare sessions this year reflect and emphasis on “inner core-values” but are we actually looking at those values from the "inside”? How are we investigating those core values and inner conflicts that drive us and our egos as a human collective in a certain direction? Is it possible to make a true difference in this world without questioning the true motives of the self? Its almost like, switching on the car window-wiper blades which is trying to wipe it clean from the outside but we still don’t have a clear vision because the misty-fog layer is formed on the inside. Until we “manually” wipe clean the misty-fog layer on the inside, we will never really see the clearest best path ahead. How many of you are sitting in the drivers seat right now and asking similar questions?

True sharing involves distributing value, ownership, and governance. This doesn’t seem to work well in a profit-at-any-cost environment, typical of most corporate charters. Enter #PlatformCooperativism, a new movement of business and civic action, using digital or non-digital platforms as a means of sharing and distributing value more widely with its users, members, citizens and employees than traditional extractive business models are incentivized to, or built for.
Can we extend true sharing at the city level and imagining #SharingCities as an ecosystem of interconnected #PlatformCoops? As a network of decentralized platforms that are initiated, organized, run, owned and governed (to a large extent) by the people and for the people of a particular city or territory?
Let’s discuss the model of using a #SharingCity as a platform. Can we offer citizens lower barrier to entry points of participation, helping everyone contribute to society as a whole? Where the stakeholders are also turned into shareholders?
This lunchtime chat invites participants to discuss with us how cities can utilize, incentivize, protect, and profit from civic action, creating citizen producers through a value sharing platform.
If you’re interested in this discussion, please also join us for “Return of the Co-op,” a workshop further exploring platform cooperativism.
Decentralization is already here, but it hasn't been evenly distributed. Based on his research, William Mougayar describes where we are in decentralization along three dimensions: Trust: Law, Governance, Industry Services (Financial, Government, Trade, Healthcare), Wealth: Economic Production, Flow of value, Transactions, and Information: Content, Privacy, Security. In this talk, Mougayar also defines the building blocks of decentralization: Peer-to-Peer Models, Trust-based Systems and Services, Autonomous Organizations, and Wealth Creation Methods in the New Crypto-Economy.

Something amazing will happen during the OuiShare Fest this year! Inside 6 containers located in “The Village” of the Cabaret Sauvage, three incredible open source projects will be accelerated.
They were carefully selected among many applicants to receive the feedback from experts and attendees of the FEST. The goal is to leverage the participants’ collective intelligence to help the projects have a more positive impact.
MISC (Mapping Innovations on the Sustainability Curve) is a methodological framework for unravelling lock-ins and facilitating transition. The framework basically consists in a systems maps reflecting the structure and parameters of the ‘curve of sustainability’ (with 'resilience' on one side and 'ascendency' on the other, and 'governance' at the apex). It allows to explore missing links and leverage points in a transdisciplinary and participatory context, and results in a systems map revealing an ecosystem of needed and/or possible transition initiatives at different levels (from grassroots to EU).
This methodology has been developed and tested in different settings and with different topics (ranging from 'Sustainable research and innovation politics' to 'Policies for strengthening cocreation with single parent families in Brussels'). Since it uses a systems approach, it is not looking for 'linear' explanations of current problems (accusing companies, or banks, or consumers, or politicians...) but brings all these actors around the table to first draw the map of what keeps them locked in and then explore what leverages are missing for them to change course. It sometimes took time (up to several months), but finally participants felt this method helped them to drop their defensive position and look for the alternatives they all (deep down) know are needed. So I'm really excited about sharing this methodological framework with you. Note that it is not a 'tool' like a cookbook receipe, but rather a framework that you will be able to adjust to your context creatively once you've understood it's basic principles correctly. Well, I guess that's what cooking really is about, read the receipe and then change it according to your taste and creativity. See ya !

Based on research for our MIT book “Sharing Cities”, this presentation argues the case for cities to harness sharing for justice and sustainability. I will highlight the failings of economic framings of sharing and smartness, which position commercial intermediaries as the go-to experts on sharing; rather than the cities, charities and communities that have much longer and deeper experience in managing shared resources, spaces, infrastructures, facilities and services.
Such framings also underlie fruitless polarized public debate over the potential and role of commercial sharing platforms such as Uber and Airbnb. Genuine sharing cities need to both enable and regulate the collaborative economy. But they also have the power and opportunity to harness the potential of sharing to rebuild social capital and a shared urban commons. I will outline ways in which cities that open themselves to cultural and political disruption can flourish by engaging with the rich diversity of sharing practices and organisations that are enabled by modern technologies and collective values.
e-Residency: experimenting worldwide digital inclusionKaspar will take you through the journey of e-Residency, which is perhaps one of the most important government experiments in the 21st century. The experiment started nearly 20 years ago after Estonia decided to become a fully digital society and issuing to every resident a digital identity. In his talk, Kaspar shares how e-Residency has taken the next step to enable every person globally to become an e-Estonian and join this new global village. You may end up believing that planet can be a country of everybody.

Our food system today is controlled by a handful of companies, that influence a lot regulations through lobbying in order to protect their financial interests. The power has shifted over the past decades from the producers to the food corporations, who control the whole food chain, from seeds to retail, leaving the farmers under pressure, and resulting in countless negative externalities: greenhouse gases, nutrients decrease, soil and water pollution, health consequences, dead marine zones, antibiotics resistance, farmers suicides. Patents on life filed by those corporations are not only a threat for global food sovereignty, but also, an important cause of destruction of the biodiversity of our planet. How can decentralized, open source and collaborative initiatives in farming practices, equipments and distribution transform our food system for the better? That's the question we are going to debate in this session.
Can we use new technologies like blockchain to finally design digital identity in a way that is beneficial to everyone, and that better reflects our identity in the real world?
Even though we may feel like we have an "online identity", the current technical architectures and protocols of the Internet in fact place our identity in the hands of others. Years of work on so-called "user-centric" or "self-sovereign" digital identity have not been able to change this. Today however, we have a large arsenal of new and promising technologies such as blockchain, linked data, peer-to-peer networks, and new cryptographic tools, which may be able to address some of the historic deficiencies.
This being a concern of the western world, the UN estimates that at least 1.8 billion people worldwide are without a legal identity at all. The proclaimed goal therefore is to provide legal identity to all, including birth registration, by 2030.
Another example is the Estonian e-residency program which is interested to see how an online identity recognised by an EU government, and therefore under EU law, could, for example, be used by banks to identify new customers, or could be used in the Blockchain to establish legal identities.
What is your understanding of identity?
About 20 months ago, Nilofer arrived in Paris from Silicon Valley. While she's been here, she's been researching how new and novel ideas dent the world for an upcoming book (Onlyness, Penguin/2017). The European context combined with the discovery writing process has made her realize how much the truth doesn't match the myths and narratives of Silicon Valley: in fact, they are the opposite.
How does the management of startups influence big companies? Developing a shadow board, reverse mentoring: these are just some of the tools being used, but are they enough to cope with the digital competition? On the other hand, if big companies managed to become that big, maybe it's because they have some advice worth listening to...
Collective knowledge to support startup founders in solving their toughest challenges.

In an ever changing economy moving fast towards a complex digitalized world, where can we reach out for inspiration and models of resilience?
If we see earth as an organisation, we have to admit that its doing pretty damn well - running for 4,6 billion years, adapting to all kinds of disruptions, facing challenges, creating huge biodiversity and still thriving and generating abundance.
In this workshop we want to explore new business models and design systems which are inspired by the accumulated wisdom of nature in its evolutionary process of learning through failing and thriving in a complex system.
Let's face it: collaboration is a pretty term but in practice, we all know that it can be a real pain.
We've all had the experience of working in a group of egos where internal competition gets in the way and soaks up the energy of the team. However, if you've been lucky enough, you've also had the fortunate experience of great team collaboration, where each team member becomes a leader and the colleagues fill you up with energy.
In this session we'll explore and reflect on the fundamental mind-set of collaborative leadership while practicing how to integrate it in our working culture and personal life.
How can we structure an organization so that it keeps up with the complexity of its environment? Many of tomorrow's organizations (or is it today's?) will have decentralized activities, based on many different contributors in and out the organization itself. Products and services will need to be continuously adapted, giving organizations a strong entrepreneurial feel. Workers will seek short or long-time project engagements while keeping a strong affiliation to one or more communities. Can we still talk about organizations or should we talk about networks or communities? What changes does that entail? How can traditional organizations be inspired?
Some organizations are already ahead of times and experimenting with the most innovative forms of operating. Come meet them! Lab.coop from Hungary, Faircoop from Spain, and Esnpiral from New Zealand (and beyond) will introduce their model before discussing them.

Manufactured products form the foundation of most economic systems. Government, industry and individuals develop and produce products in the form of goods and services to meet the needs of those in society. The desire for low cost goods has been met through economies of scale and mass production. This forced consumer to compromise their wants or needs with what is available.
In the meantime, the needs of consumers have evolved with the development of technologies that have driven consumers to higher levels of expectation. Also more attention is being put on sustainability issues. These factors are changing the way products are conceived and brought to market, from idea to delivery and subsequently to post consumption. The recent digital transformation and the new means of production is leading to transformation of our industries. It’s called rapid response advanced manufacturing.
At the same time digital fabrication tools became easily accessible. New types of consumer designed products with powerful user communities enter the market. The underground hacker community forked in to Fablabs and makerspaces to form the maker movement. Open source, collaborative/web-based engineering developed in to a grass root proof of concept of fully personalized user centered, local manufacturing. Slowly building an infrastructure for agile, on demand decentralized production capable to 3d print their own homes.
During this session we will try to answer the question of how to move from making and rapid prototyping to citizen production. Should we bring manufacturing back to the cities? Do we need to develop new supply chains? What industry can learn from today’s makers and what is the missing link? What wil be the role of makerspaces in distributed manufacturing? Should makers scale up and professionalize or the industry scale across?
**Meet at the 'FROM THE EDGES' Stand**

Can an old model be the basis for a new economy? Can the cooperative status and the #PlatformCoop movement offer an alternative to a capitalistic, value-captating model?
In practice, how can we build cooperatives for the digital age?
In this workshop, founders of digital cooperatives and leaders of citizen-owned infrastructure cooperatives will share their experience. At the same time, entrepreneurs who wish to convert their collaborative organizations into full-on cooperatives will share their interrogations.
Come raise your own questions! You will be invited to discuss them during a World Café, with the help of featured experts.
We can observe today an increasing number of initiatives experimenting with alternative ways of measuring and sharing value in companies, communities and networks.
Why should we explore alternatives? Which alternative models already exist? Are monetary rewards necessary? How could we create a new model that better serves a creativity and knowledge economy?
This session brings together representatives from 4 different organizations that are asking themselves these questions and trying to find answers by building various new models for measuring contributions and distributing value.
The following organizations will share stories and concrete examples of successes and failures in pursuing this:
Cobudget, a collaborative funding and participatory budgeting tool, being used by the Enspiral network and other organizations.
Gratipay, a platform that provides payments and payroll for open work. They have launched pilot projects where employees set their own salaries.
Thanks & Share: a human learning & natural intelligence network that enables founders and contributors to share the company’s equity with a model they have developed.
Cocoon Projects: an open enterprise that starts, supports and accelerates value driven, innovative projects. They’ve developed the Liquido framework for open companies.
In these session we would like to explore the new role of patients within the health experience design.
How to include patients into the process of building health services, devices and tools?
Which other agents need to get involve to transform the way we deal with illness and deseas?

Identifying where in your company elements of the old or the new economy prevail. Discussing advantages and disadvantages as well as risks and opportunities, transitions and paradigm shifts.
The aim is to provide a practical workshop with a clear methodolody and goal that can be useful for each participant.
This talk is about the city as a single organism.
I'm the technology manager of an experimental micro-city called Arcosanti. It's a one-of-a-kind "urban laboratory" in the desert in Arizona. It's size, isolated location, founding philosophy, and commons infrastructure make it a perfect case-study to undersand the shifts that happen when the sharing economy reaches 80%+ of a population.
We'll talk on how centralized "sharing economy" and social technologies can develop the city into a conscious being. What are the impliations for our life and work when we see the city as an extension of ourselves? Come find out!
Read up on Jamiya's blog.
What do you do, after a rush? You breathe. You’ll probably have a good look around you and reflect on what you were in a rush for.
Who were with you? Who are coming in now after the rush? And what natives where already at your destination?
During this years' OuiShare Fest we are able for the first time to look back thoroughly on the rush we’ve been in. We now know more about social impacts, economic impacts and knowledge on environmental impacts. Just like after the gold rush we need to get settled in a sustainable way. We need to figure out how we can use what we know already to enable a society where people rush for a different kind of gold. We need to figure out what knowledge is still lacking. We need to define what policies and types of organizations are needed for co-creating a new golden standard.
Being both a researcher and an entrepreneur I have noticed the large gap between the academic world and 'the rest' of the world. Each time I'm working with academics I notice how greatly they can benefit from gathering experiences in 'the field.' Then again, people in 'the field' are often very interested in high quality research.
The goal of this workshop, is to combine both worlds and to learn from one another, and inspire one another. We will create a joint playing ground where together we can go after the important question: What's the gold, after the gold rush?
Education is one of the world's most serious challenges. When compared, contents, classrooms and the hole educational system don't look much different from 70 years ago.
In this talk, we're going to discuss learning processes and how to put in practice Experience Learning, a methodology based on four pillars: content, form, structure and emotion.
Learning comes hand in hand with transformation, and we want to help transform the world in a more creative, subversive, sensitive and generous place through education.
**Meet at "FROM THE EDGES" meeting-point (by the Communities & Networks Stand)**
Do you also share this observation or is it just a wishful thinking. OuiShare like many other groups, networks and movements are becoming each time more and more holistic: not just concerning the topics we deal with and increasing try to bring together and converge but also the lifestyles and things we want to implement in everyday life. After events - like OuiShare drinks - we talk together (level1) or confestivals - like OuiShareFest - we experience together (level2) and innovation camps - like POC21 - where we cocreate together (level3) - what's next?
When we did a vision session @OuiShareSummit#8 in Badajoz all three groups came up independently - whith a similiar scenario: A physical space or decentralized interconnected living spaces where tribes or groups of people come together and create more holistic coliving, coworking environments/ecosystems around physical spaces (building(s) and/or land) that mimik the economy/society of the future - or at least as we envision and want it.
If this resonantes with your own observacions - or just your wish or dream - join us for this meetup and let's share. Another world is possible, it already exists in many niches. In which one do you want to live? Let's create them (level4).
We can look at the ecological crisis as an initiation for humanity as a whole, impelling us to reach a new level of consciousness as a species. This metamorphosis is also in alignment with many prophecies of indigenous people about our time. We have the opportunity to use our technologies and social technologies to bring about a conscious evolution, transitioning from competition and aggression to cooperation and symbiosis as our paradigm.
This space is free for all attendees to co-create, play and host spontanous session in. This is your common room where you can continue conversations, host impromtu workshops and expand the Fest program as you please!

A storytelling workshop on tensions and emotions in self-organized work.
***
From school on we learn that conflict is bad. We are trained to avoid difficult conversations. In organizational life this translates into a pervasive culture of not telling each other what we really think. The problem is that collaborative and creative work depends on perspectives smashing into each other. How can we get comfortable with real conflicts and overcome “organizational defensiveness” (Chris Argyris)? In this workshop we will jointly elicit candid stories of enthusiasm, anxiety, trust and intimidation. A touching learning journey.
I run a little thought game on how life-making is connected to androgyny or anything “in between.”
It's about the "i" in poiesis; and how to go beyond being a provocateur and instead making the provocative the normal.
But while we try so passionately to create something new, what are our hidden patterns that perpetuate the old?
How much neoliberal residue do we all carry?
What kind of thinking and doing required to really transition?
Some clues lie in the way we tell stories to ourselves and others;
in our symbols;
in the way we set goals;
in the way we use language.
This session is a philosophical mindbend I havn't shared before. It has been shaped by countless playshops; and informed by the hard labour of threading a provocative PhD through an orthodox system.
So basically, with all that, we cover the ego, the others, the in-between, and the ether. Oha.
PS: On the sidelines of the event, I'll be my alter ego - Dr Divine - offering the occasional divination. You’ll recognise us by the hawker tray. Come play!
Networks seem to have a magical power to attract people who is willing to contribute with her time, knowledge and sometimes even with money.
This magical power is very related with the opportunity of learning that those networks offer to their contributors.
In this session we are going to explore how this informal learning process takes place on those networks and why is so powerful.

We will work together to hack and create new instruments for the collaborative economy in the developing world. The instruments will be build from trash and residuals from first world countries.
This micro-hackathon designed by UNAM designer and experience curator Liliana Savage, who will create a sensorial experience that will push all participants to be creators and to think how we can innovate from the first world garbage that we dump into third world countries. While we hack away on our instruments, participants will listen and engage in discussions with our Keynote speaker Alexis Crawshaw, a composer and doctoral researcher in intersensorial composition using infrasounds.
Music and Dance Fest
We will do a music festival where we will use the instruments we build to manifest future of collaborative economy in developing world. Participants are free to dance and use their body to express themselves as well.
Our hope is that the music, dance and micro hackathon will inspire love for the developing world, and inspire participants to produce useful technology that involves more people in the collaborative economy.
This Hack and Dance is organized by:
Saiph Savage, Joel Dietz, Alexis Crawshaw, Liliana Savage, Daniel Valdez Puertos.
Telling your story is a great way to get visibility for your initiative. It’s also a great way to empower your fellow change-makers. This workshop guides participants through practical collaborative approaches to telling your story, and then extracting the reusable lessons learned, frameworks and tools that are beneficial to others.
You’ll work with your fellow participants to:
Practice telling your individual change story
Identify and package up the reusable patterns, learnings, frameworks in your stories
**Cooking will happen in the cooking station just NEXT to the Studio from 6-8pm. From 8pm, we will be eating together in the Studio**
Recipes for Cooking without Recipes is a learning format focused on improvising dishes with leftovers. It is a funky culinary experience that is less about following preconceived instructions but more on listening to your inspiration in the moment. To do so means to cultivate one’s innate abilities to create with ingredients immediately on hand, to learn by cooking, get inspired by limits and to peacefully inhabit a certain level of uncertainty. In the absence of a chronology to follow, this workshop builds on awakening and continuously practicing corporeal technologies that could usher a direct link between organic impulse (hunger) and the emergence of action and empowerment (creativity).
Brought to you by: Nowhere Kitchen
and with ingredients from Freegan Pony, the first European association and collaborative freegan kitchen, which is paving the way to expose the food industry and contribute reducing its amount of food waste.
The ingredients are vegetables and fruits sourced from Rungis market and that would otherwise have been discarded. In Paris, settled in Porte de la Villette for the past 6 months, the kitchen has offered a new menu each day composed by different chefs and volunteers to make sure more and more vegetables and fruits are saved from ours dustbins.
What is the power of thinking by making?
Making is the act resulting in something coming to be. The arts and crafts movement preceded today’s ‘maker’ culture. ‘Traditional’ forms of making were passed down from master to apprentice, through years of repetition. Today we are witnessing a growing popularity of more experimental and innovative making: less rehearsed but also less reliable(?).
In reaction to globalized mass production, throw-away cultures, consumerism and the omnipresence of chain stores, new types of community spaces like fablabs, makerspace or hackerspaces pop up in our neighborhoods.
Here we find community interaction and knowledge sharing on both local and global level, with the help of networked technologies. These social environments promote informal, peer-led shared learning often motivated by fun and self-fulfillment. People come to gain practical skills, learn how to repair, reuse, improve and tweaking designs.
The potential to enable more participatory approaches and create new pathways into important topics is clear, but this path is not for all of us.
Should we all make the shift and become makers? It may be frustrating to master a new skill in this busy world. Should we take the time to move from frustration to pleasure and start to think through materials and skills?
Gender & creative communities: the end of hierarchy?
The paradigm shift we have been witnessing in the economy is also happening regarding gender balance. Gender categories as hierarchical and differentiating are exploding, and it impacts many areas.
In the work environment, gender should play a little role. But it's still not the case: there are still general discrimination against women or queer, wage inequality, etc., except in the innovative ecosystems, collaborative economy, social business, creative networks, etc.
Is it allowed because the values that are promoted in those organizations (autonomy, trust) are more "feminine" and inclusive?
We will also explore how this attention paid to singularity and holistic approach to the person in these new ecosystems) also impacts other areas (sexual-identity fluidity, neo-relationships, sexuality, etc.).
We are going to explore these questions:
1) describing this shift in comparison to the traditional work and academic world
2) analyzing if that shift is related to generation change and / or way of working ?
3) If it's allowed because the values that are now promoted in those organizations (autonomy, trust) are more "feminine" / inclusive?
4) And how this attention paid to singularity AND holistic approach to the person (at work) also impacts other areas (gender identities, relationships, sexuality etc.) as an opening conclusion part.
Pop-Up performances by Simón Adinia Hanukai of Kaimera Productions, in collaboration with GroupStudio and associated artists.
Selected audience members will be invited to take part in short (3-15 minute) pop-up performances taking place throughout the festival grounds. These performances, created specifically for this year’s Ouishare Fest, were inspired by the themes of the festival, as well as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic book The Little Prince.
40 outstanding personalities from the positive economy have answered the question "What is the solution to change the world?" (Russell Brand, Nicolas Hulot, Cyril Dion...). An electronic music-documentary participative experience based on the protection of resources and blossoming body, spirit & nature, where the audience is dancing, meditating, shouting, laughing, thinking... A mixture of directed films with animation, found footage, post production and VJ’ing for a sweet awakening of consciousness and our reality.
Jaïs Elalouf : chant (lead), synthés, guitare, vidéo (Lunivers, DJ Oof Cinemix).
Laurent Gueirard : batterie (Inama, Macadam Panda).
Thomas Pégorier : basse, chant (Studio Paradise).
In the aftermath of OuiShare Fest, come for a walk with the Barbarians community in Bois de Vincennes. We were more than 500 well-intended barbarians to gather in L’Archipel in March 2015 to share and discuss our ideas, meet Barba-doers (positive project leaders) and move forward together. Large projects were born on this occasion Many of us wished for a repeat of this beautiful moment of exchange, because the community has grown: we are now close to 5000 people sharing the idea that each of us can contribute in its own way, to changing the world positively. Please come and join us for a walk on May 22 in le Bois de Vincennes. An afternoon during which you will meet think-alikes, discover their dreams and share yours. Our hope is to enable everyone to go a step further on its own path. Like Janique, Thibaud or Lune, you can also choose to contribute to helping co-build the day’s program. Thibaud will for example carry out interviews with walkers. Lune will meanwhile tend a large canvas on which you can write your contribution to the collective dream - resolutely optimistic. Let’s meet at the Golden gate entrance of lake Dausmesnil at 13.00!

Au lendemain du OuiShare Fest, venez marcher avec la communauté des Barbares au Bois de Vincennes.
Nous étions plus de 500 barbares bienveillants à nous être réunis à l’Archipel en mars 2015 pour échanger sur nos idées, rencontrer des Barbacteurs - porteurs de projets positifs - et avancer ensemble. De vastes projets sont nés à cette occasion. Beaucoup ont souhaité qu’un autre moment d’échange puisse avoir lieu, alors que la communauté s’est élargie. Nous sommes désormais près de 5 000 à partager l’idée que chacun d’entre nous peut contribuer, à sa manière, à changer le monde positivement.
Nous vous proposons de vous joindre à nous en venant marcher le 22 mai au Bois de Vincennes. Pendant une après-midi, vous rencontrerez des semblables, découvrirez leurs rêves et partagerez les vôtres. Notre espoir : que chacun chemine dans sa réflexion et fasse un petit pas de plus, sur sa route.
Vous pouvez aussi poser votre pierre sur le chemin de tous en contribuant, comme Janique, Thibaud ou Lune à co-construire le programme. Thibaud réalisera par exemple des interviews des promeneurs. Lune, quant à elle, tendra une grande toile sur laquelle vous pourrez écrire votre contribution au rêve collectif – résolument optimiste.
Pour nous rejoindre, rendez-vous au lac Dausmesnil, à l’entrée porte Dorée, à 13h.
