Participate to the 2nd Viral Open Space: an Online Social Forum to face the current crisis -

Katalizo is proud to support this grassroots initiative, The Viral Open Space! Please share widely!

In the context of emergency and massive lockdown, an eclectic and open group from 15 different countries proposed a first viral open space entitled "The Great Pause", on March 29 and 30 . This online social forum hosted around fifty activities which were proposed by participants from all over the world, to connect and give visibility to positive and creative citizen responses to the current crisis. 24 hours inspiring and energizing!

Following the success of this first edition, we are on our way to the second! On May 23 and 24, the Viral Open Space propose again to open and reinforce multiple paths for creative solidarity. It will link isolated people, neighbors, affinity and collective groups, artists, social networks (Facebook or other) created to cope with Covid-19, non-governmental organizations, social movements, etc. around the world.

You are all welcome to participate in the event or to join the organizing collective!

Contribute to the program freely!

The VOS program is built by its participants who offer their positive and creative citizen responses to the current crisis: Spaces to imagine some futures, spaces for support and sharing created in the context of Covid-19, artistic activities, hackathons, courses, sports activities, resource sharing, activities for children, etc. This event will be to your semblance. The VOS facilitation group will also offer activities inviting you to come and get involved a little, or a little more, in the preparation of the next VOS. If you acknowledge yourself as a participant in the VOS process, as described in our VOS Text of Intent, and wish to propose an activity, you can fill out this form: https://framaforms.org/viral-open-space-052020-1588975837
