 ===== Harvest from the Resilients workshop 2010 =====
+==== The purpose of Resilients ====
+Why is the project "resilients" still important at this time in the world and for whom?
+If we are the Resilients, what will we do, how will we look, where will we be...?
+  * Resilients will help us prepare for unspeakable futures
+  * Resilients speak to novices and supports isolated change makers - cultural, scientific
+  * Resilients provide sparks for people in the everyday.
+  * With Resilients we diversify, strengthen and extend existing networks that are fragile, in order to enhance cultural resilience (across scales - individuals, organisations, wider cultural networks)
+  * Resilients foster life-enhancing and rebalancing of humans and the rest of the planet (resilience is invisible, and tested by time).
+  * Resilients use [intentional] story-telling to explore, communicate and develop presences/presents into potential futures of complete [social, environmental, personal, economic] ecologies
+==== Resilients - Why & how ====
+We first had a conversation about why Resilients is relevant, then split up in Open Space sessions to discuss possible tactics & strategies...
+----
+----
+=== Connections ===
+Finding, connecting and supporting existing fragile resilients (individuals, organisations, networks)
+== Buddha Hotel ==
+participants: Trudo, Robert, Loes, Maja, Tim
+Buddha hotel is a residency format for connection, network strengthening, travels, interaction
+Is the "normal" residency model still interesting??
+What resilient residencies need:
+not boring, offer & demand, results, format
+[AIR BnB to fund a residency]
+----
+ == Interpenetrations ==
+participants: Bart, Christina, Cocky, Theun, Loes, Andy, Robert, Lina
+Making online lists per partner, about its expertises, future/current projects wishes etc. Internal open calls for competence pooling will pair up groups in concrete ideas/questions/problems to solve/ask in production/research contexts.
+Additional collaborative models are:
+  * format > localisation
+  * format > translation/adaptation
+----
+== Invitation and initiation ==
+participants: Andy, Pippa, Maja, Lina, Theun
+pitch:
+  * enter public events that target all age groups (children, mid-adults, older people), though not all at the same time.
+  * there will be a core event guide (e.g. always food)
+  * local events always communicated to the mesh of all
+  * guests always "plug" the next event, meeting, workshop
+  * invite the guest to mailing lists (announce, discuss and wiki)
+  * regular meetups exploring EU partner topics, e.g. this month energy, food security
+  * TOPIC based "rabbitholes", e.g. bees (bee exhibition, bee workshop, implement beekeeping knowledge, start a new hive, relocate, process honey for barter/sale)
+Older people - seek them out; how are they/their projects resilient, how do they see today's challenges? Prepare for getting old - if we are lucky we get old, but how do we stay lucky when we are old?
+Old, (not active) specialists: scientists, technologists, farmers, healers volunteering to give their knowledge, opinion, integrity, skills
+----
+----
+=== Life-enhancing ===
+Fostering Life-enhancing and rebalancing of humans & the rest of the planet
+== Technogaian - Design and Science ==
+participants: Nik, Carole, Hendrik, Simone, Lina, Andy
+Traditional craft/ contemporary craft/ science theory designers/philosophers/scientists/story tellers
+  * a series of workshops, residencies
+  * a design commission - how do you identify the problem form the perspective of both science and design. objective is to test the resilience of a system, i.e. what would you change about the transport system/living behaviours with climate change in different European countries?
+  * how do we fabricate in the future, looking at biological fabrication and how they can be applied?
+  * how do we live in the hotter future? do we introduce the siesta from Spain in Sweden?
+----
+----
+=== Stories ===
+Telling and embodying stories of complete ecologies (past - present - future)
+== Global Apocalypse Management Agency ==
+participants: Dougald, Simone, Vinay, Theun, Nik
+A game in which players start as an apprentice and learn, become journeymen by travelling across Europe to learn at centres of excellence and graduate as guild masters of resilience.
+----
+----
+=== Unspeakable futures ===
+How do we prepare for unspeakable futures?
+== Resilients as a Start-Up ==
+participants: Vinay, Nik, Trudo, Andy, Tim, Dougald
+  * the resilients as a network of future re-enactment societies
+  * Dungeons and Dragons for resilience, ARG, Steampunk, theatrical co-product with existing networks, use organic farms
+  * revenue through training for game masters?
+  * burning man
+  * Etsy as an inspiration - profitable for good relationship with users, part of the same scene
+festivals 4 times a year
+----
+----
+==== Resilients branches ====
+From various discussions and sessions we have distilled the following

+  * transgenerational integration
+  * how to learn from each other
+  * documentation
+  * a structure: decrease focus on content
+  * the guild is the grandma of the narrative

+  * satellite guilds
+  * human factor as a focus
+  * stories, tactics to get a real craft nouveau
+  * collaboration is the most important. everything is carries by the structure

+  * The project will take form of available funding - shapeshifting
+  * What are our success criteria? How will we measure whether we succeeded?
+  * Long term project could be a resilience guild + satellite projects
+Guild includes apprentices, journeyers & masters, connections to old & new guilds, as well as groups who could/should be guilds (i.e. webcraft).
+Satellite projects discussed are:
+  * village + metrobiopolis
+  * physical narrative
+  * edible landscape (craft nouveau, biomimicry…)
+  * bumblebees (pilgrimage)
+Both guild & satellites require utility functions:
+  * collaboration tools, playful documentation

+  * 10th of aug - send docs to CCP
+  * asap: commitments by partners - budget outlay (%)
