lecture: Sent Wierda - On activism and grassroot politics
'The Green New Deal' is a shared idea originating from many small and unconventional groups of people, dealing with climatechange and energy transition, while strenghtening the regional economy. These progressive internationalists arise from different countries and continents, from Yanis Varoufakis (DiEM25, Mera25, European Spring) to Bernie Sanders (USA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (USA). They also share: they want more global and more local decision making. A paradox? The subsidiarity principle isn’t according to Sent G. Wierda (DiEM25, vandeRegio & PiratenPartij, ...). In this lecture he shares his experiences in activism and grassroot politics.

hackathon: Maranke Spoor - How to Save Life
We will work on www.howtosavelife.org In the run up to last years climate march, I wondered what I would want to show/read/share on a climate march banner, and found out that the domain name www.howtosavelife.org had not yet been claimed, I reserved it. I have plenty of ideas to fill it with life affirming/regenerative stuff, but I'm also very interested in your contributions and ideas, as long as they are life affirming, if you wonder what that is, and why some ways of doing things are and quite a lot are not @ Koppelting there is a chance to continue or start this life long learning pathway, and work with (other) pioneers that have been working on this for a long time.

workshop: Meike van de Linde - Succesful Collaboration (cancelled)
We need to work together and join forces, to make a real difference in this world. Yet, sometimes it is really hard to do this, prone to individuality as we are - how to work together without having to either give yourself away, having to compromise too much, or, to not lose yourself, dominating the proces and the discussion? This acquires personal leadership, 'knowing one-self', true courage and the ability to come together with your fellow man for 'a greater good'. In this workshop we will aspire to work out together what the secret(s) might be to work together succesfully; to perhaps make a list of 'do's and dont's' or some kind of manual.
Due to personal circumstances, this workshop has been cancelled.
workshop: Maranke Spoor - Permaculture
Permaculture is a interdisciplinairy design science based in ethics. Its about being part of the solution instead of part of the problem. We can e.g. grow food while increasing biodiversity. This can be the future of our food. Maranke teaches permaculture and helped translate/edit Mark Shepards restoration agriculture and Christopher Sheins creating an edible ecosystem for NL/BE.
Permaculture principles can be applied at any scale, to anything. The goal of permaculture is: meeting human needs while increasing ecosystem health. Permaculture uses ethical principles and design priciples to achieve this.

other: Harmen Zijp - Everything but the truthThe recent rise of "alternative facts" as a way to bend the truth to meet political ends is worrying. The very term however still pays tribute to the concept of a fact. It seems that "real facts" (accessible for others to check) still bear something of a golden standard that abusers at least feel obliged to mimick. Argumentation on the other hand varies long and wide, without much consideration given to avoiding falacies, for one thing. There is no such thing as "alternative arguments", and in the end body language seems to be more convincing than content (of either facts or propositions constructed from them). Maybe it's just about time we shape some standard for entering public debate. This open brainstorm invites you to explore this topic.

lecture: Dorine Rüter - Waterkracht
What is Waterkracht? First of all it's a community centre where local clubs and people can find a place to play games, organise markets, but also get help with their tax returns etc. The restaurant sets this community centre apart. Here an enthousiastic group of people who are overlooked in the work market prepare a locally sourced menu in a real kitchen under the guidance of a real chef.

lecture: Chantal van Genderen / Voedselbos Nieuwe Erven - Foodforest Nieuwe Erven: Renewal of the commons, building a food forest in public space
When the municipality of Brummen needed to develop a new public space this came together with the search for a pilot space by the Clean Tech Food & Landscape Innovations table. Residents of Brummen were interested to design and build a food forest-parc in their neighborhood. The municipality offered the framework, support, contacts and finances to make this happen. Now after only 1,5 year the construction of the meeting square, the herb spiral, the flower meadows, sheep meadows, the natural playground and the actual food forest itself is nearly achieved. The project is supported by 20 regular and another 30 more irregular volunteers from the neighborhood. They developed into a fluid organization, with particular challenges and achieve more than they’d expected. With the trees still very young, the first important harvest seems to be a social one. By building a food forest together we recognized the similarity to the historical Marke, (or commons) and feel inspired to investigate it’s potential.

workshop: Marzenka Pala - Democracy game
Are we qualified to vote? Do you understand the impact of your vote? With an online game Marzenka proposes a playful course. Each level results in a certificate — to show off. You discover your own political profile, your strenghts, your allergies, your political interests, and the toolset to turn powerlessness into grassroot activism, run a campaign, and if you wish diehard lobbyist politics. In cooperation you work on proposals, through a public debate. You can become the empowered citizen, or use all knowledge for your own benifids. Would you play? Would you participate? Do you still dare to vote?

hackathon: Meet je Stad! - Let's design the next measurement platform
The citizen science project Meet je Stad has been investigating local impact of climate change since 2015. The project measures temperature and humidity with some 500 sensors in multiple cities. During this hackathon we will do a redesign of the PCB to accommodate more sensors, a more powerful processor and a solar panel, as well as work on a redesigned data processing backend. Monday will be setting the specifications, friday should see a functioning first series. In between we'll be working in parallel on various parts of the platform: sensors, PCB, firmware, power supply, data processing, visualization, etc.

lecture: Matthijs Nederveen - A social innovation Lab: an example from EthiopiaA Social Innovation Lab is a space where a group of people in complementary roles come together to experiment, in order to find new solutions to complex problems. Matthijs Nederveen has set up and guided different Social Innovation Labs in Ethiopia and other African countries. Each of the Labs focussed on a particular challenge for persons with a specific type of disability. The challenges were in the area of vocational training, employment and entrepreneurship.
The lessons learnt from these different Labs are captured in the publication: Innovate for Inclusion.
You can download the publication from: https://www.light-for-the-world.org/innovate-for-inclusion
Matthijs will present one of the cases from this publication and discuss the Social innovation Lab as a means to co-create and find solutions for social problems.

other: Imperial Finch Productions - Documentary: The Labels That We Are Given
This forty minute documentary about Syrian Refugees and the stigmas they are confronted with took almost a year to finish Its goal is to give a face to the faceless and a voice to those we only hear people talk about, but never hear ourselves. We asked them many questions that nationalist populists automatically assume they are: Are they Muslim, uneducated, poor, Arab, fortune seekers. Why don’t they go to the neighboring countries? How was life before the war? By confronting them with the labels they are given we want to show that we as humans have more in common than what divides us.

lecture: Pieter van der Hijden - Fab Labs and U.N. Sustainable Development Goals; the Next Round
All countries of the world want to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 underlying targets by 2030. That is a huge assignment to which the fab lab network and the local fab labs can also contribute.
The "Fab Labs & Sustainable Development Goals" working group strives for Fab Labs to first determine their SDG profile and share it with each other. We then want to look for much more collaboration between fab labs with corresponding profiles. Finally, we confront the outside world by making a concrete contribution to SDG-related projects, such as those of the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).
During the Koppelting presentation:
* we present the current map of fab labs and SDG profiles
* we discuss the experiences of fab labs with drafting and working with their SDG profile
* we explore the pluses and minuses of cooperating with the MDBs

other: Pieter van Diepen - WitchHuntIn 2015, while the far right was gaining ground around the world, socialist MP Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader of the UK Labour Party in a landslide victory. Accusations of antisemitism within the party immediately began to circulate. Well-known anti-racists and left-wing Jews, such as Jackie Walker, were amongst the chief targets.
WitchHunt sets out to investigate the stories and the people behind the headlines, examining the nature of the accusations. Is this a witch hunt, as some claim? If so, who is behind it, and what is the political purpose of such a campaign?
