Friends,



After attending a number of events prior and during the Degrowth Conference
in Leipzig I will be back in Berlin for a lecture/round table talk on
September 8th from 2 pm to 5 pm hosted by the Heinrich Boell Stiftung at
Schumannstraße 8, Berlin.

In the first half of 2014, three Ecuadorian institutions funded research
for a *first integrative transition towards a social knowledge economy* or
in other words, a society with an economy oriented around common pools of
shareable knowledge. This participatory project produced the *first generic
Commons Transition Plan* and* 15+ specific policy proposals* in various
domains such as open education, open agriculture, biocommons etc.

* Here is the project wiki that feeds you with a lot of information,
*(*http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan
<http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan> , *but I will present at
first for those who are not having the time to dive deeply into it before.

I will elaborate on the project design, the process, the outcome and the
future prospects of the laid out plan. I propose to discuss questions such
as the following and many more that you feel are pressing related issues:

How can we evaluate the encounter between proposals such as the Partner
State and the commonification of public services and an actual really
existing state? What where the limitations of this first transition
experience and what can we learn for the future ?

The next iteration of such a commons transition plan will take place in
Catalonia in the spring of 2015, where the proposed institutions will be
directly civic in nature, and designed to sustain the production of
material commons. Despite ist limitations, the FLOK experience may signal a
shift towards progressive policies and political coalitions that are no
longer focused on statist solutions, but on an orientation towards the
Commons. How realistic is such a scenario and can it save Europe from a
potential shift to the radical right ?"

It would be great if you have time and join. We can arrange for a nice
lineup on that day since Jeremy Rifkin is giving a public lecture at the
Allianz Forum. We could walk over to the Pariser Platz together after the
event. See info below.

To arrange the setting for the event and also to have some finger foot
after my round and before Rifkins, the Boell Team needs to plan a bit and
it would therefore be nice if you just drop a line to Joanna Barelkowska at
Barelkowska at boell.de to indicate your interest to attend.

Thanks and look forward to see you in the 8th.

Very best, Michel
