Out of the journey we travelled on (and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ogYtpO \">did we travel!<\/a>) to develop this year\u2019s Festival and indeed the Cooperative itself, each city group, each member, will have their personal stories of ideas they crafted into activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Transeuropa Social Market we&#8217;re working on with <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/17EV2tk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@tschoollondon<\/a> is an activity that has been influenced as much by the spaces it took place in (such as <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/18IZa0K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@piataautonoma<\/a>) as by the ideas that gave birth to it, such as the commons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, it began as a question mark! I\u2019ll explain\u2026One of the themes for a recent festival we did was \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/poxfEc \">Social Europe<\/a>\u201d. Did this mean turning Europe into one transnational pub crawl-booze cruise? Or did it mean exploring what social rights and conditions could improve societies across the continent?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Naturally, it was always more likely to be the latter, but maintaining a certain creative ambiguity gives <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/nNUVvZ \">oxygen<\/a> to the issue to be expressed in an innovative way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is how the idea of a \u201csocial market\u201d came about in the thematic group working on \u201cSocial Europe\u201d. It was a \u201cpied de nez\u201d at the policy makers that come up with this triangulating \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/q1Pbb4 \">think tank patois<\/a>\u201d \u2013 so that everyone could be pleased that Europe would have more social justice and more economic efficiency (you may have heard that line before\u2026)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More importantly, it was about deconstructing the \u201csocial\u201d and the \u201cmarket\u201d to the meanings that most people assign to them, to socialise with the people around you and to buy and sell at the market the things you need to get by.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Except most people don\u2019t do either anymore, with the emergence of the \u201cwalled gardens\u201d of gated communities and shopping malls (online and offline), so it\u2019s very difficult to talk about social rights in environments where individual rights dominate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what about if you started exploring these issues in spaces where people <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/g7j3ss  \">can be social in how they interact with the economy<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/okACWI  \">can make markets work for them and each other<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In other words, where the relationship is a more important currency than the transaction. So that\u2019s how the idea of a \u201csocial market\u201d came about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the next few posts, you\u2019ll see the activities that expressed this idea. People often find it difficult to make sense of the richness of debates about issues that are really complex to grapple with. They will either spend too long fighting over the terms of the debate to control the definition of the solution. Or they will spend too little acknowledging the creative tensions and settle for a weak compromise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If people spend a bit more time exploring the problems in a creative way, they can find more people wanting to come together to create common solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the meantime, click on one of the tabs to get involved!<br \/>\n<br style=\"text-align: justify;\" \/> <a style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/12R8Yxy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 250px; height: 35px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Festival.jpg\" \/><\/a><br style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" \/> <a style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/138P4QK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 245px; height: 35px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Imagine.jpg\" \/><\/a><br style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" \/> <a style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/slidesha.re\/UGuzG7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 245px; height: 35px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Creative.jpg\" \/><\/a><br style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" \/> <a style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/12rknuz\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 240px; height: 35px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Share.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re inviting people to help shape our Festival\u00a0for 2013 and learn skills on how to create their own in the process.
