Michel Bauwens & Kevin Flanagan at Idea Camp 2015, Botkyrka, Sweden

During the Idea Camp 2015, Vivian Paulissen, Knowledge Manager at the European Cultural Foundation hosted a conversation with Michel Bauwens and Kevin Flanagan of the P2P Foundation, about their personal interest in the Commons. Why do they dedicate their entire work and life to the cause of the Commons?

ECF’s second Idea Camp took place between 23 and 25 September. This year’s theme “Build the City” applies the principles and ethics of the commons. The Idea Camp explored how citizens and communities can get directly involved in participatory democratic processes that shape and govern our cities.
