Tras el éxito del taller What If…? Alicante de 2010 nos hemos propuesto repetir la experiencia, esta vez en forma de dos talleres complementarios que permitan abarcar desde las herramientas de participación hasta la acción urbana más directa.
El primero de ellos, “Ciudadanía organizada en red: herramientas digitales”, tendrá lugar los próximos días 21 y 22 de febrero, de 17.30 a 20.30h, en Camon Alicante, y finalizará con otra sesión el 14 de marzo.
Durante las tres tardes que dura el taller los asistentes, en colaboración con cinco expertos en desarrollo de comunidades activas, intentarán responder a un desafío: diseñar una herramienta de participación específica para Alicante a partir de la conversación con otros ciudadanos, asociaciones de vecinos, colectivos sociales y culturales, profesionales de lo social y lo urbano, y representantes del ayuntamiento. A partir de la experiencia del proyecto What If, intentarán aportar una nueva perspectiva al diseño de herramientas digitales en el campo de la gobernalidad y la participación ciudadana activa. Para extender el alcance del taller, se retransmitirán las sesiones de trabajo en livestream, propiciando la participación de asistentes remotos. continue reading

The above schematic represents the relationship between intra-building collaboration and citations. The height of each building reflects the average number of publication citations originating there, and the color reflects the degree to which authors on those publications cohabitated (from gray=low to blue=high). The graphic depicts that, in general, buildings with more intra-building collaborations produced studies with higher citation rates.
