Introduction w/ Specxcraft + collective cartographies [Futuring maps]

+++++
++Resilience++
"Contextualisation :
We are a consortium of associations testing the potential of imagination in the face of crises. From our different positions and focus, we observe a variety of crises unfolding in Brussels -and elswhere-. We wonder about the impact of these crises on people's imagination for the future. We're researching how/if imagination and speculation could be devices taht help in dealing with the interrealted crises to avoid feelings of resignation, cynicism and instead stimulate collective action."

"When I'm imaginating the future of the city I live in, how much agency do I picture myself having ?"
-> Things I could have a need for doing so to enjoy the level of agency I'd want ?
-> Things I could have a need to avoid doing so to enjoy the level of agency i'd want ? 

"How much significance would i want disobedience to have in the future?"
-> Things I could have a need for doing for disobedience to get where I'd want it to be
-> Things I could have a need to avoid doing for disobedience to get where I'd want it to be

***Visit to garden / Ex-monastery***

+++++
++Permaculture++
We're visiting Oscar Casamajor in the garden of Toestand, on the place Mirroir in Jette. They are looking after the plants, planting seeds, and they are a point of reference for people visiting the garden. Oscar is interested in permaculture, its practices, vision and ethics. We are spending time think about this in relation to technology and (dis)obedience. Oscar starts with an intro about their work, and proposes exercises to the group to think about what perma-culture means to everyone .
+++++

Meeting with Oscar Cassamajor
Choose a flower/plan/something, and each one explained why they picked their "special being"
We thought about meaning of Perma Culture, here are few words :
    - polyculture
    - production
    - Interplan
    - Bio-succession
    - No-tilt ( about the flipping of soil, producing lot of co2 when done at the same time by farmers)
    - self-sufficient
    - monoculture
    
+++++
++NOT Permaculture++

• • • • • •     NOT Permaculture
          •     - artificial
          •     - chemical pesticides
          •     - modified 

- layering
- h2o
- spiral
- eco system

Choosing what you want to eat
12? principles :

objective is to build an ecosystem as stable as the ones existing "naturally", but tuned to food production

food sovereingty vs. food security
( sovereignty is also about what a community wants to cultivate / eat, not just survivaly.. )
"let them be"
tools and functions
"what do we already have all around that can be beneficial?"
communities
how do we teach permaculture
what permaculture could be in terms of design
getting ppl to share knowledges (in terms of technologies?) about ?
Jardin de la fraternité
earthcare 
working with ppl
++circles of education++ [could be a good "snowfall"]
