CivicWise

CivicWise is an international distributed and open network that promotes citizen engagement, developing concrete actions and projects based on collective intelligence, civic innovation and open design.

I co-founded CivicWise during a London residency to promote collaborative urbanism and civic
engagement with simultaneous international and local dimensions. The organisation's objective is to
facilitate knowledge exchange at a global level that promotes activities in local contexts, and it is
based on a model of distributed governance, where projects are developed locally by independent
local nodes.

I was in charge of coordinating the actions that will allow the fairbnb.coop alternative platform to operate in direct connection with the local communities, while respecting the right to housing and generating circular economy processes.

My work was focused on generating an innovative connection between the digital platform and the local communities including citizens, hosts and local administrations. One of my main responsibilities was the management of the team in charge of the relationship with the ambassadors and the local administrations.
