GOAT Coop Session Blues
03.07.2023
Participants: Jamie, Calix, Juliet, Paul, Samuel
Scribe: Samuel
Executive summary
Jamie proposed a huddle for people interested in coops and the conversations that emerged from GOAT to discuss possible next steps. The meeting was attended by Juliet, Jamie, Calix, Paul and Samuel. The group had an informal discussion thinking through how best to reactivate the conversation on coops and how to invite people into larger more participatory sessions. It was decided that the notes from the After Hours coop session (as well as coop sculpture session and coop resources) would be adapted and placed in a Miro board. Juliet worked on building a prototype of this.
The group decided that it would also be good to have an ice-breaker or rapid fire session where people could present a coop or a project that they knew. This ‘get to know a coop’ would happen after the intro/context piece. Calix suggested we ask people to connect the coop they present to the work or vision of GOAT.
In discussions of desired outcomes or next steps the group thought it was better to leave it open to see what emerged from the conversation. Samuel proposed that there could also be a series of guest presentations about coops and it was decided that these could be at the intro or ending of each meeting (possible 10-20 minutes each). For the upcoming meeting it was decided that there would also be a prompt at the end of the for people to propose or vote on topics or coops of interest.
