Hi! I’d like to do a brief introduction to a new open source social technology being developed by the non-profit Prosocial World and its partners, that can help groups and groups of groups work together more effectively toward shared goals. Based in part on the pioneering work of Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom around commoning, Prosocial’s “ARC Process” can be applied to a variety of contexts.
The Terran Collective used elements of this process in the collabathon they did with OpenTEAM and the Regen Network, developing a Community Platform for the Future of Regenerative Agriculture on hylo.
I’ll be leading a proposed discussion later in the week exploring opportunities for further applications of these and other tools, including the collaborative and equitable development of multi-functional value chains and foodsheds.
