About
This Wiki is part of a larger endeavor: the creation of a Mediterranean Co-Production Lab.
The Mediterranean Co-Production Lab
The Co-Production lab will act as a meeting place to share ideas and best practices to encourage public sector innovation through collaboration with the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), and to promote cooperation to translate this knowledge into pilot interventions and projects in the Mediterranean countries.
Its vision is to help bring about, through the coproduction of innovative public policies, the political, socioeconomic, and cultural shifts that the Mediterranean basin countries require to achieve more sustainable, prosperous, equitable, and democratic communities.
Therefore, the Lab’s online presence should serve as a space for meeting, exchanging, researching, and co-creating:
- Meeting point between relevant actors of the territories that adhere, public administrations, academic research field, and entities of the social and solidarity economy sector so that they can build a network that enables cooperation and collaboration.
- Exchange of best practices, opinions, and related knowledge to resolve queries; improve individual and common initiatives; and serve as a training space for agents interested in social innovation, public policies, and the SSE.
- Research on SSE, social innovation, decent work, and related subjects to serve as a support and documented basis for advocacy and awareness-raising in Mediterranean societies.
- Co-creating demonstrative actions that showcase public sector-led innovations that contribute effectively to the necessary social transformation of Mediterranean countries based on the coproduction of social policies with the involvement of citizens or service users and SSE in the design as well as the delivery of public services.
Digital Platform for the Mediterranean Co-production Laboratory
The lab’s digital platform serves primarily to encourage the interaction of an existing community of practice. The participants belong to a diversity of countries and require tools to streamline workflows and processes. Among them:
- A discussion forum to connect community members and help them share knowledge
- A free and open knowledge database built under Wikimedia technology,
- A capacity building and training platform, a reliable source of information for the public on the topics of coproduction and public sector innovation
- A system to crowdsource and crowdfund Public Policy Innovation, as well as to enable the Lab’s future pro-bono assistance to innovative actions through the issuance of a system of blockchain tokens.
Capacity building and training platform
The online platform of the Lab will have important sections: a News board, an online community of practice, an e-learning section, a digital marketplace to facilitate the exchange of innovation credits, a wiki, a crowdfunding section, and a profile section that will encourage the connection and strengthening of professional relationships and partnerships.
Wiki: a free and open knowledge database
This Wiki is a free and open knowledge database built under MediaWiki technology.
The Wiki is an online learning repository that will be available for innovators, researchers, and policymakers to improve their skills in co-production. The initial setup will include a content structure and some basic content. However, it can only be a place of actual learning and sharing if it's a living document. This means that we need several active contributors who can feed the knowledge bank, ask others for information and help others find what they need on the Wiki.
