About us<\/h4>\n

How did we get started?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Colaboratorio IC was the product of a meeting called \u00bfY SI NOS ENREDAMOS?<\/a> (what if we networked?). It was held at the end of April 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, as part of the Frena La Curva (Flatten The Curve) project, in order to reflect on ways to promote and coordinate the Civic Innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n

This meeting was initially convened by Laia S\u00e1nchez (Citilab); Ricardo Ant\u00f3n (ColaBoraBora \/ Wikitoki); Javier Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez (Las Naves); Ibai Zabaleta (Hirikilabs \/ Tabakalera); Alberto Flores (Makea Tu Vida); Adrian De Miguel and Marcos Garc\u00eda (Medialab Prado); Adolfo Chaut\u00f3n and Josian Llorente. It involved more than 150 people (professionals, mediators, activists, researchers etc, mainly from Spain and Latin America). This report<\/a> was the result of the conversations, exchanges and lessons which took place there, which we now use as both a source code and a roadmap. You can learn more about the steps taken on this timeline.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”35″ css=”.vc_custom_1645133365609{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Being community<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Colaboratorio IC is built to last, with the intention of staying active for as long as is needed to make Civic Innovation, and its agents, visible, organised and united as vital components of wider innovation systems.<\/p>\n

To make this happen, a community feeling and mindset are essential, always with Civic Innovation at the centre. A community, which is the base of Colaboratorio CI, made up of diverse and complementary agents of all sorts, shapes and sizes (civil society \/ government \/ academia \/ private sector). Agents who want to cultivate meaningful relationships and transversal alliances (based on skills, disciplines or regions), from a position of mutual trust and acknowledgement, proportionally sharing responsibilities and eschewing any trace of extractivist thought.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Are you in?” style=”flat” shape=”round” color=”vista-blue” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcolaboratorioic.org%2Fen%2Fgetinvolved%2F|title:%C2%A1Participa!”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator color=”vista_blue”][vc_column_text]In addition to the broad and diverse Civic Innovation community, Colaboratorio IC has the committed support of other figures with varying degrees of involvement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”35″ el_id=”agentes-promotores” css=”.vc_custom_1645133373070{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Promoting Agents<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]These are organisations and people who, as active members of the community, are significantly involved in the guidance and management of Colaboratorio CI, and make up part of the Coordination Group. They build this work into their own strategies and action plans, and provide relevant resources (dedicated work hours; available materials, resources and services; budgeting for specific initiatives; organising activities etc)<\/p>\n

Collaborative Agents<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]These are agents who, without directly forming part of the community, have direct or transversal responsibilities, or who work in fields which affect Civic Innovation and wish to contribute to Colaboratorio CI\u2019s mission. These can be, for example, public administrations, innovation agencies, foundations, universities, research or business centres. Collaboration of this sort takes the form of connections or contributions such as: financial resources; research or communication materials; providing Civic Innovation projects with access to strategically advantageous fields or connections.<\/p>\n

    Process<\/h4>\n

    Open, Dynamic, Participatory Structure<\/h2>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Colaboratorio CI does not have a legal structure, functioning instead as a federated system. Its development is built on a foundation of mutual trust, acknowledgement, and support. We seek to involve as many agents as possible by providing forms and levels of participation which engender co-responsible, self-managed and distributed work.<\/p>\n

    Joining Colaboratorio CI will allow you to be involved in its management, working groups and decision-making processes as well as more specific projects.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3245″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1654870509543{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    • The community holds at least 2 annual meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • There are different information and participation channels<\/strong> which can be adapted to meet the community\u2019s needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • These groups are run adhocratically<\/strong> and have at least two levels of involvement:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Resources and funding<\/h4>\n

          How is Colaboratorio IC sustained?<\/h2>\n

          [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]A significant amount of Colaboratorio CI\u2019s work is only possible thanks to the voluntary involvement and contributions of its members. This can be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Time dedicated<\/strong> to Colaboratorio CI (management, communication, writing proposals, technical support etc)<\/li>\n
          • Providing infrastructure and tools for shared use<\/strong> (servers, streaming, collaborative tools etc)<\/li>\n
          • Externally contracted services<\/strong>, hired by agents within the ecosystem which can be used to benefit Colaboratorio CI (for example translation, design, technical services, printing, travel, etc).<\/li>\n
          • Budget allocations to cover costs or personnel <\/strong>associated with projects and and services tied to Colaboratorio CI\u2019s plan of action. Specifically, such allocations are for involvement which goes beyond the reasonable expectations and bounds of voluntary commitment, in order to prevent unsustainable situations which can result in self-imposed precarity (coordination work, technical administration, management or stewardship tasks, preparing proposals, facilitating activities, web programming, keeping minutes etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            NOTE: Colaboratorio CI does not currently have a legal structure which allows it to request or directly receive financial resources, or resources of any sort. Resources are held by Promoting Agents, always following criteria of transparency and collectively agreed aims and strategies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
