From healthcare to finance, politics to education, infrastructures & decision processes, we can & must reinvent social futures. Our societal systems have grown beyond their capacity to transform by management. Collaboration alone is insufficient - We truly need new cultures of co-innovation, collectively deciding, and socially organizing. A community of practice meets for these dialogues in person every 2nd Wednesday in Toronto: Art, science, and design are different ways of knowing.
