What did we learn?

● Some individuals feel the need to be in control / in charge especially when this is a normal role for them. This can create innate conflict or a ‘messy’ situation. This creates the need for ‘boundaries’ for these individuals.

● Facilitation workshops can create space for quieter voices to be heard.

● When we have joint ownership of a ‘brand’ there needs to be a system for ensuring events associated with it are ‘on brand’

● Given the timescale of our academic research, relating it to literature at this stage is difficult. And auto-ethnographic approach can provide more interesting and useful insights.

● Patience

● Delegation is vital for getting things done

How does it relate to our theories?

● Relating our existing research to:

○ Self-organization and self-governance

○ Insurgent placemaking (claimed/invented and invited spaces)

○ Intentional communities
