Workshop description: At this workshop participants will “cook” new collaborative-cooperative formats. Necessary “ingredients” will be provided by The Format Project—an ongoing research project on replicable formats of cooperation. It explores widely adopted models and practices of collaborative knowledge production, sharing, collective action and decision making. Participants of this workshop will be guided through the creation of such formats with a focus on their success, sustainability and replicability.

Interactivity: In the workshop we “cook up” new collaborative-cooperative formats by using “ingredients” necessary—as identified by our research—to the success and sustainability of such formats. Next to that, we use the concept of “motivation architecture” as a design tool to explore, describe and design the motivational-contributional balance of participants in collaborative processes. Hands-on workshop with active involvement of participants. Sketching on Post-Its, breaking down into smaller groups, reporting back, etc.
