description:
This masterclass deals with the multiple forms of organizing that we currently see emerging everywhere: platform coops, purpose organizations, human rights networks, independent collectives working across borders and nation states. Digital organizations such as DAOs that help communities to coordinate themselves. Value generating online orgs that work at securing a basic income for their members. Investigative research networks that need to operate safely and discreetly, and many more.
This current time of societal change and economic crisis gave rise to all sorts of organizational needs that take on many different forms. In this masterclass we will investigate different models of organizations and explore how they operate in terms of participation, coordination, financing, governance and transnational workmodes.
