Collaboration Incubator *18 Report #1
The Collaboration Incubator is a participatory format, where you can learn about ‚social technologies‘ - mainly group facilitation processes - which integrate activism and intuition. The aim of the program is to figure out ways to support each other in what we are currently working with – as part of a movement, an organization or as individuals. Related to that, we are also using the group's creativity and intelligence to look at a bigger shared question: „How to help building momentum for global grassroots democracy?“. With this idea in mind, we were inviting people who feel dedicated to progressive movements and/or progressive ideas around changing things from the ground up. The report has an emphasis on the most recent incubator in Oakland, California, since a local funding from TRCC thrivingresilience.org enabled it. It builds on and integrates content, learning and experiences of the two previous Berlin incubators. It’s a years’ report.

#ALLVOICES: An experiment in connection.<br />
We talk about diversity and inclusion, but even the most conscientious of us falter. A<br />
voice of authority too often determines which stories are heard, which lives matter. The<br />
#ALLVOICES project hopes to achieve a platform for hearing more voices in the<br />
systems that represent us and govern our lives.<br />
We’ll experiment and find ways to solicit, aggregate and curate stories. Starting small,<br />
then expanding out to the Internet-connected world, a spectrum of worldviews will be<br />
added. Perhaps by making a little bit more in each of us visible, we can acknowledge<br />
the existence of another person’s view on life in the moment and get curious about our<br />
differences.<br />
I’m interested in hearing stories that connect us, and understanding that we often don’t<br />
agree is important. The goal is for each story to reveal what a person sees. Every story<br />
is a snapshot that captures an honest image of a person’s inner emotional landscape,<br />
love, hate, fear, anger, disgust, resentment, sadness.<br />
We only need to listen. We do not need to agree.<br />
The vision is inclusion. When a group of people to come together in a sacred circle,<br />
each authentic voice is represented fairly. Therefore, our project must have a code of<br />
conduct that makes it safe for anyone to participate. Consider the tall order of<br />
#ALLVOICES. A range of personal stories could be as loving and compassionate as a<br />
Buddhist satsang and as aggressive and hate-filled as a Trump rally. Personal stories<br />
are not about someone or something else other than what lies in the heart of every<br />
person who shares. These stories do not begin with “I believe,” are not about ideology or<br />
concepts, and not about the past or the future. The stories answer the question “Who<br />
are you right now?”<br />
Belonging to a family<br />
True family accepts who you are. I want to see if we can love our anger, discomfort, and<br />
our flaws. In that vulnerability, human stories can connect us because we share similar<br />
experiences. The human tribe is diverse, complex, and conflicted. If successful, we will<br />
find our belonging to each other.
