Facilitating Collaboration, Peer Learning, and Commoning Practices

This talk introduces the guiding principles of School of Commons (SoC) — a global community-based initiative dedicated to exploring and supporting collective and self-organised learning and knowledge production.

Key concepts introduced will include: Peer Learning, Commoning, Curiosity-driven and Process-oriented Learning, Transdisciplinarity, and Accessible Learning Spaces. We will share our approaches to (re)designing learning environments, and the fields of learning and study, reflecting on the challenges encountered in facilitating heterogenous, collaborative practices, and present examples of projects supported by SoC that embody these principles at their core. We will bridge this with the methods of forms in which we make our knowledge, practices, and ways & workings publicly accessible and distributable, fostering openness and shared ownership within and beyond the SoC community.
