Heat domes remaining for days, heat waves in June and September; Terrible rain in Libya, Italy, Greece, with land slides and loss of crops and fertile soil. Add to it the wildfires in numerous locations like Crete, Greece, Portugal.</p><p>Questions arise about the livability of cities. Cities are heat islands, due to the concrete and stone that are storing the heat, and releasing it in the night. Inhabitants are buying air conditioning, that is lowering the heat inside, and just increasing the heat on the street.</p><p>Bruzz writes an interesting series of articles about climate and heat islands</p><p>https://www.bruzz.be/milieu/brussel-klimaatbestendige-stad-we-moeten-meer-doen-elke-straat-2023-09-25</p><p>The focus of these are a lot about adding trees, removing concrete, painting the rooftops white. </p><p>For me there are other things to be done, and one essential one: district heating/cooling</p><p>This is a system of tubes that provide hot and cold water for heating or cooling buildings, that water is put at a right temperature in a more central location, with nex systems like geothermy, biogas, etc. </p><p>The extension of district heating in Charles Villes Mezieres (https://www.charleville-mezieres.fr/extension-du-chauffage-urbain ) for examole talks also about energetic independance.</p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.geo20.eu</div>Tanguy De Lestréhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18039754587173658887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308228260426663472.post-31166899797914230142023-01-03T17:01:00.002+01:002023-01-03T17:01:49.274+01:00<p> 2023</p><p>I start the year wondering which catastrophe will come this year, and I am getting ready for the word 'Brace for impact' like in airline terms for whatever:</p><p>- an upcoming heat wave</p><p>- a crazy shooting in a crowded shopping street</p><p>- an uppercut right wing party election</p><p>- a car driving by too fast</p><p>- an unidentified drone flying above the Belgian airspace</p><p>- a cyberattack </p><p>- a real heart attack </p><p>Than I look around me from Transforma coworking in Evere, see a white Porsche parked whose owner I know and greet, a container of Mover Potiez Demain, that uses former prisoners to move stuff, and the former Nato headquarters juste behind that are now used for judging Belgian extermist terror and a blue sky above.</p><p>Should I brace for impact all the time? Should I just ignore that there is a war going on in less than 2 hours flight from here, that the frogs are waking up in the middle of the winter and being hit by cars? </p><p>Or should I look for another impact?</p><p>- continue facilitating slow tourism projects with a proven micro engagement format and make that people engage by themselves and are proud of it?</p><p>- continue fostering dialogues between thinkers in a new tried format based on keywords?</p><p>- invest my knowledge in cooperative structures, and foster common values?</p><p>- continue organising workshops around sustainability awareness with the Digital Fresco model, SDG2030 workshop, the Sustatool model?</p><p>- continue looking at ways to improve governance to allow innovation in the public sector?</p><p>- work within administration to overcome the silos and look at impactfull projects related to smart city and innovation?</p><p>- and move to #slow as a paradigm?</p><p>And probably I would need enough courage to also slow down, listen to others, an not loose faith. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51yG9r1NIkeo2hVrJ-0cnYVpYaFc1mi4STb9pB9Ma0Z1DNwWakJ-Z-rx1MBeVpXj90IlUkrSH4tHZ75FzReCx7UiGDT_fwLfxzSIRTNTgOXlnuOZhg_v4FnYaxRYYZvhO8bgE-H6K5dV9pTTIkHvxahUjJpsaLJa1kiHs-h65Rltwqjf7Q9Om_3g2/s2048/IMG_2292.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51yG9r1NIkeo2hVrJ-0cnYVpYaFc1mi4STb9pB9Ma0Z1DNwWakJ-Z-rx1MBeVpXj90IlUkrSH4tHZ75FzReCx7UiGDT_fwLfxzSIRTNTgOXlnuOZhg_v4FnYaxRYYZvhO8bgE-H6K5dV9pTTIkHvxahUjJpsaLJa1kiHs-h65Rltwqjf7Q9Om_3g2/s320/IMG_2292.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.geo20.eu</div>Tanguy De Lestréhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18039754587173658887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308228260426663472.post-13491339615579756352022-10-31T16:55:00.004+01:002023-01-03T16:11:29.850+01:00Facilitation - case study Brussels bike node network<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNAKbPwuZpPKSUvrvyMUYwGnkNDosXf0QwJOuw-Sns4fpTo7isNUDBmGv2vqcnHlZoKPAIxbJgEgfJX8rNovmNJVCbKjoR4D_FWKDWR1GalOnBIYWou3_rg2sWUL6Hirb5_joc8BcJ-KCW2kdcEm1s1F233Uu9jgCknqnxMDoPdotlVPnE6xpVxrK/s916/bikenodefinal.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="297" data-original-width="916" height="104" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNAKbPwuZpPKSUvrvyMUYwGnkNDosXf0QwJOuw-Sns4fpTo7isNUDBmGv2vqcnHlZoKPAIxbJgEgfJX8rNovmNJVCbKjoR4D_FWKDWR1GalOnBIYWou3_rg2sWUL6Hirb5_joc8BcJ-KCW2kdcEm1s1F233Uu9jgCknqnxMDoPdotlVPnE6xpVxrK/s320/bikenodefinal.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I was in summer 2020 at the reels of a quite unorthodox way of creating of a region wide bike network basd on the nodes.

The main driver of our companies is the corporate balance sheet, and guess what, this inbalance is not yet in the books and giving back a dividend goes to shareholders and not to replenishing the used resources of the planet.

The presentation lacked any purpose and mission based, except that the presentation indicated that we can get blindsided on searching for business models. So the use of the WHy word in the title was a kind of an overstretch and manipulative as Simon Sinek eplains.</p><p>The presentation was quite academic, not much rocket science, some examples (except for Michelin) were missing and it was quite convential as a presentation.</p><p>Take-away: the business model canvas with two additonal parts added (SDGs and beneficiaries).</p><p><b>Way forward</b></p><p>Urgency: no sense of urgency to move towards sustainable business models, based on climate change, covid-19 etc and not mention that business models that do not take into account sustainability are outdated from the start.</p><p>On <i>value capturing</i>: an essential element when talking about sustainable business models (where is the value capture, do we allow it to be captured by the stakeholders and not the shareholders,...) and sometimes part of failure in terms of definition.</p><p>Non financial reporting obligations that start to be imposed, and will provide an overall value and the societal value that has been created will in a certain way be captured in the overall value creation of the company and not only in terms of finance.</p><p>The creation of specific company structures like in Luxemburg (société à impact sociétal) also provides an answer to this value capturing issues, as 50% of the shares are not entitled to provide dividends to shareholders, but need to stay in the organisation and be used for the mission and stakeholder value.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.geo20.eu</div>Tanguy De Lestréhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18039754587173658887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308228260426663472.post-58076471109115324352020-12-08T10:21:00.000+01:002020-12-08T10:21:02.165+01:00B-model reflexions on peak demand, load balancing and peak demand- the Bpost case<p>First, let me provide you with the definition of load balancing, I am
referring to, it is coming from the electric power grid to avoid crashing of
the network during peak demand.<o:p></o:p></p><p>There are several techniques on an electric grid that are used, I will
not go into detail. However I want to make the clear analogy with
Bpost/PostNL current situation, where it is having a peak demand in
parcel delivery and is having difficulties to cope with it, and a logic
explanation will follow why Bpost reacts the way it is doing.<o:p></o:p></p><p>When u have normal electricity usage in an electricity grid this works
fine. The issue comes with peak demands (from industry or from households
in winter for example) where u have the highest cost as a network
manager. So you have a lot of costs to manage these loads. This is also
the case for water usage during a world cup soccer half time by the way.<o:p></o:p></p><p>In electricity terms, the highest cost is when you have peak demand, as
supply falls short. In case of emergency of peak demand, there are some
power stations that are awaiting, and can be turned on very fast. The
peak is more expensive, and prices are higher for these peaks for industry,
incentives are given to go off the grid quickly, etc...<o:p></o:p></p><p><u>Covid in hospitals 2020</u><o:p></o:p></p><p>The hospitals are not able to manage peak demand in terms of IC intensive
care; the load balancing that happens than is to #lockdown the whole country,
in order to reduce the speed of spread of the virus<o:p></o:p></p><p><u>Covid test lab bottlenecks</u><o:p></o:p></p><p>Accredited labs were not able to cope with the demand in October 2020 , and
the usage therefore becomes counterproductive (too many waiting time for test
results not effective)<o:p></o:p></p><p>The labs become a bottle neck September 2020<br />
The load balancing here becomes a management trick, where u make a
differentiation between some urgent cases OK, and offloading the other to
society that you need to stay #10 days at home. (cost offloaded to social
security system, ...)<o:p></o:p></p><p><b>So here is my statement. Pandemic peak comes at a higher cost. The
system looks for a load balancing and that equilibrium will put an external
pressure on society to keep its own optimal equilibrium.</b><o:p></o:p></p><p>Other classic examples:<o:p></o:p></p><p><u>Highways traffic jam - toll increase</u><o:p></o:p></p><p>Going back to Paris, the toll is increased, so that peak demand can be
offoaded: only the ones that wnt to pay highter are taking the road,
others reduce their w.e. time and come back earliere.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Schools building<o:p></o:p></p><p>The load balancing is quite clear. When you know demographic growth,
you can beforehand foresee the number of places needed so that there is a
balance between number of places in schools and number of pupils. But why
does it get wrong anyway? Where is the pressure offloaded of non
equilibrium?<o:p></o:p></p><p><b>B-post<br />
</b>So let's come to the title of the article the B post Belgian post announced
a bottleneck in parcels with near doubling of parcels in the period. PostNL did
the same for other reasons recently also.<o:p></o:p></p><p>How is the offloading working here? It is working on the two sides:<o:p></o:p></p><p>- Left - supply increase of costs (small shops need to pay more)<o:p></o:p></p><p>- Right - demand /offer : explanation in press that probably package
will not be delivered, and so creating hesitation at the online shop customers.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This is the load balancing technique. There is a fixed cost for
managing a system in equilibrium (maybe also top management bonus) Than the
costs of peak can be offloaded/externalised to society and there is no
accountability.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Bpost and the management is only looking at itself and does so not looking
how society is working and not setting the example as a public company.<o:p></o:p></p><p><b><span lang="EN-GB">Conclusion<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p>Probably, a lot of the business models will really need to integrate their
impact on society and the environment even more, looking at reducing the
negative and increasing the positive externalities. SDGs and other
sustainable models in the centre could create this broader load balancing in

Your MIC is on mute <p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The least to say is that
the event space is in turmoil due to covid-19: strict travel measures trade
fairs and conferences are cancelled. The content and format is moved online and
we are in a clear transition phase for the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Seems that we are not yet completely there yet in online,
mimicking offline experiences in an online world (and it does not match) and at
the same time not using to the best the new medium of online in its
possibilities to move away from a linear structure to a circular one? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">In a longer term the purpose of exhibitions as a trade fair
(meeting people, setting up confidence and business) will need to be
re-evalued, also as a lot of things have moved online.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">So here end of October 2020 my stake as a user.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'can u hear me?' 'your mic is still of' 'I will restart the
computer'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Invited speakers should not test their audio settings when
starting up a conversation; <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: the organisation needs to have for example a dedicated breakout
room for speakers, that can than join the main stage as required, having made
all the technical tests. and a simple tip when sound etc is not coming:
refresh your browser or restart the computer.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution:</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">And also from existing events: the organisation has it internal
channels (with sometimes walky talkies etc); so in online, speakers are using
the same channels as the audience; so a different speaker only channel is
important also for th VIPS; at the same time not more other tools should be
used, because switching tools on screen can be a difficulty.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">next slide'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Screen fatigue vs linear content: yes we are tired of
looking at PowerPoints on the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution: provide the content beforehand or scrollable, and
really interact with polls for example.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'silence' </span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Event professionals are moving online and know how to modulate an
event between keynotes, breaks, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: a good practice - as online crowds really don't like silence
elements- foresee quiet music or a loop video in between life events,
where you can provide also certain general information like when stage
restarts, or hashtags etc. If not, you might loose the participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'lost in the spaces'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Navigating between main stage, break out sessions etc, there is
still really work to be done.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Mimicking physical events does not work and customers are lost,
asking for help on the public chat which does not seem very positive.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: like on an e-commerce site, foresee a real chat helpdesk, where
staff will help the audience, or have an automated robot in the longer term.
also to be included in terms of problems of logging in<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'lost in translation'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The world is diverse, so it is really nice to have sessions
in native languages, and not only in English. It should however be
indicated in right way so that users can choose</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: yet to be found correct subtitling or choice of
translated subtitle<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'great panel discussion'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Yes moderators and experts talking to each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">But, even more than in other periods, we want to be heard!
Otherwise a second channel will happen. And trolling wil start inevitably<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution 1:</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> foresee a real community function - a moderator that listens
to the online buzz, questions, and that than provides questions to the
audience. This return channel is really important, and there is a need
not to have a disconnect.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution 2:</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> in smaller sessions, really present with two together so as
to be able to concentrate on presenting, and at same time be able to interact
with the discussion thread for example<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution 3:</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> use the poll function: this enables to panel to find
the 'temperature' of the audience, and gives feeling of participants that they
are involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">'choice stress'</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Creating parallel sessions , that start and end at different times
with no clear information on content : that creates choice stress and fear of
missing out<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: provide 3 times per day a studio like live session where the
overall programme is announced, the main takeaways etc (hopefully in
recording available etc.) 5 minutes - what to expect?
This is as yet not the ideal solution, but can as a transition method help in
alleviating this choice stress.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Let's meet!</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Sometimes it is possible to get in touch with participants directly,
searching for profiles not easy; than some tools provide a kind of Russian
roulette to talk to a random stranger, that is probably not something done in
much cultures;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">solution</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">: foresee breakout or thematic coffee tables with a connector type
of person<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">And to finish of, it seems that
we are still using the most valued asset badly : TIME. Why is it that
this linear principle is still applied? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I hope the tools will adapt fast in order to scroll back and
forth in a video, allows to jump to the part of your interest or to move ahead
fast when you arrive later; enable a pause function, at your pace, and than you
can move later; enable a kind of a circular model in the event space all centred

The SDG framework wil be used as a starting point.</p><p>Te training, 17H SDG's focused program, is aimed at companies that want to create a positive impact on society and need guidance to start</p><p>The program will be a mix of content, method and tasks. The facilitator team will guide the different steps so that as a company you can define your positive impact plan for society As a company you will build your first structured project that you can then implement in your company. You and your team will gain understanding of the SDG’s framework in one challenge, and this will enable you to then further shift and align other business activities. A better understanding of customer and societal paradigm shifts that will allow them to stay relevant and not outdated.</p><p>check out all the practical information at <a href="http://www.sdgimpact.lu">www.sdgimpact.lu</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g3HDAyfrhEY/X41n9GBx6oI/AAAAAAAAeWU/OsOcP_2QOMkL5hiNgnAlcwaZSC2LZ1y3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_2938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1878" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g3HDAyfrhEY/X41n9GBx6oI/AAAAAAAAeWU/OsOcP_2QOMkL5hiNgnAlcwaZSC2LZ1y3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_2938.JPG" /></a></div><p></p><p>The number one SDG that is ticking at your door is SDG3, good health.</p><p>Due to the pandemic, it is affecting also the health of your business activity, the motivation of your teams.

Basically Kate Raworth is showing that the underlying assumptions of our current economic models based on growth are flawed.</p><p>Instead she refers to an economy that needs to develop within the borders of human dignity (inner circle) and planetary boundaries (outer circle); Tha'ts how she came up with the model dubbed doughnut economics. </p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1H0GF2rBmUY/X37CgQqKQmI/AAAAAAAAeUg/3aFvNg47qpwa2RclJGCeoi_0yXY_vCAOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s830/download%2B%25289%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="830" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1H0GF2rBmUY/X37CgQqKQmI/AAAAAAAAeUg/3aFvNg47qpwa2RclJGCeoi_0yXY_vCAOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/download%2B%25289%2529.png" width="320" /></a></p><p>There is a link with SDGS, but the basic change is SDG8, where Kate refutes the word growth as it has been eating up the planet multiple times and has put strain on human dignity.</p><p>Some innovative cities have started last year to work with her team, to start introducing the donut principles in their own city, eg<a href="https://amsterdamdonutcoalitie.nl/" target="_blank"> Amsterdam</a>. This <a href="https://www.kateraworth.com/2020/04/08/amsterdam-city-doughnut/">donut coalition</a> so far focuses on citizen involvement and looks at moving local economy from a linear to a circular one. The complete model is explained <a href="https://www.kateraworth.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/20200406-AMS-portrait-EN-Single-page-web-420x210mm.pdf" target="_blank">here</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have witnessed the forces at work in Amsterdam, and the model seems a real powerfull one, in terms of empowerment etc. </p><p>The Brussels Governement, and state secretary of economic transition in Brussels B. Tracht, <a href="https://maron-trachte.brussels/2020/09/28/la-region-bruxelloise-mise-sur-la-theorie-du-donut-pour-transformer-son-economie/" target="_blank">announced </a>that they would start working in a similar donut coalition in Brussels. Organisation <a href="https://www.confluences.eu/donut" target="_blank">confluence </a>is the driving force behind it, together with ICHEC. Looking forward which forces will be used in Brussels to work on this donut model. A lot of initiatives exist like becircular.brussels, etc and of course the coronoa crisis provides an opportunity to move the cursor. Of course it needs to be an implementation that will empower Brussels actors, companies, citizens to go into a sustainable future. Hopefully this project is the 'perspective' that so many actors are longing for. </p><p>Challenges :</p><p>- Such a transversal and holistic approach needs to have a broad support across the siloed administrative and government organisation as well</p><p>- Civic organisation structures distrust of political manoeuvring, and crushing of grass-roots initiatives</p><p>- Moving Eisnehowers quadrant matrix to piority - non urgent, instead of the urgent non priority quadrant </p><p>- Company distrust of political toys and gimmics also, or entrenched in old paradigms</p><p>Note also that OXFAM (Kate R worked there) Belgium has also created a<a href="https://www.oxfammagasinsdumonde.be/donut/#.X37JbmgzY2w" target="_blank">n important campaign around the donut, with interesting resources and interviews.</a> that talk about the challenges of this model.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to contribute as SDG actor, facilitator, citizen participant to this realisation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.geo20.eu</div>Tanguy De Lestréhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18039754587173658887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308228260426663472.post-35768768357052287892020-10-08T09:34:00.007+02:002020-10-08T10:17:39.206+02:009/10 launch TOKVIL public innovation lab Brussels<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-egrLZEaFqBg/X37BRJVP-5I/AAAAAAAAeUY/7RVvIu_yUGcZpxBAHrfieK4ruBDIIsVIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/image003%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-egrLZEaFqBg/X37BRJVP-5I/AAAAAAAAeUY/7RVvIu_yUGcZpxBAHrfieK4ruBDIIsVIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/image003%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />After several months of online activity, TOKVIL public innovation lab is happy to announce it has found a spot to tet out physical workshops.

écoute, bienveillante<br />L'enfant pose
souvent la question pourquoi. Les adultes lui donnent une réponse approprié ou
pas.<br />Une bonne
écoute post-confinement ?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;">On peut
apercevoir une<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>accélération de
phénomènes comme la digitalisation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cela
implique un apprentissage des outils par des nouveaux groupes qui n'étaient pas
en ligne ; et des séquelles psychologiques qui en suivent de cet
apprentissage pour les autres (attaques personnelles, bullying,…)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;">Le<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>perfectionnement d'utilisation d'outils de
ciblage grâce à l’AI et les réseaux sociaux sert <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>les <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>groupuscules qui divisent pour régner, propagent
la haine, et utilisent le ciblage marketing des plateformes pour leur fins. Une
société éclatée<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;">C'est chaque
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>secteur/ organisation qui crie le plus
qui est écouté et qui passe en force dans les mesures de déconfinement
(exemple: le secteur du foot pro).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>C'est <b>normal donc que pas mal de personnes ne
se sentent pas écoutée</b>s et délaissées par cette machine sensée être un ‘service’
public, mais qui est perçue comme ‘je me sers du public pour mes poches’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;"><b>La
structure organisationnelle en silos du secteur public n'est plus en phase </b>avec
les enjeux horizontaux (santé, urgence climatique,...); non seulement plus en
phase, mais permet aux acteurs politiques de se disculper de leur
responsabilité, car justement, comme le problème est 'multi-silos', on va très
facilement pousser le sujet dans une autre 'case'
régionale/fédérale/administrative<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pour
ne pas endosser une responsabilité.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cela
exaspère.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;">L'activiste
pro-climat Naomi Klein écrit dans son livre 'on fire' que les protestateurs réactionnaires
anti-climats ont raison de protester car ils ont bien compris que le
changement climatique allait changer leur mode de vie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-BE" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-BE;">De la même
manière cette haine en ligne a également sa place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cette haine traduit un état mental de ces
personnes qui comprennent bien que leur mode de vie est en danger, qui cherchent des boucs émissaires, et un canal d'expression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ne pas écouter ces protestations serait une grande erreur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>En démocratie il faut être à l'écoute, pas
seulement des experts ou le 'inside belt' (= les lobbyistes à Washington, ou les professionnels de l'influence), mais
également du peuple qui attend une approche fédératrice et avec de la
perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.geo20.eu</div>Tanguy De Lestréhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18039754587173658887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308228260426663472.post-59370691559044359192020-08-29T15:18:00.008+02:002020-08-29T15:19:42.155+02:00Bikenode.brussels launched - SDG impact<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">In het midden van de Corona COVID19 crisis op 6 mei 2020 heb ik mijn 20 jarig huwelijk gefeest van 1 uur </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">champagne zou vloeien.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Tijd om even stil te staan wat er sinds die ZOOM sessie, 20 jaar geleden gebeurd is. De eerste Covid </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> enthousiasme om de draad van het leven weer op te pikken zoals ervoor, zonder fysische afstanden.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">In juni 2020 bleek het Corona virus niet echt verdwenen te zijn , en de vroegere eengemaakte Schengen</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> reiszone werd een lappendeken van veilige en niet veilige zones; toegang tot die zones was enkel</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> mogelijk via gemilitariseerde checkpoints.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Zomer 2020 vertrokken we nog naar Bordeaux met de wagen; met mijn Covid19 QR code veilig </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">identiteitsprofiel op de smartphone kon ik door het snelle vak passeren van de tolpoort </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">(de Péage zoals in volksmond gekend) ; andere bestuurders moesten gecontroleerd worden </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">op temperatuur en bleven soms weken in een container in quarantine aan de Péage. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Bij de terugtocht van Bordeaux in Menen werden we onderschept door een nieuwe Drone van </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">het Vlaams Agentschap wegen en Verkeer die temperatuur opnam en mijn zonneverbranding van </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">type A huid aannam voor een verhoogde temperatuur. Ons gezin werd van de autosnelweg afgehaald,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> en met ons vijven kwamen we terecht in een bewaakt quarantine containerpark in de Vagevuurstraat in Menen. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Wat een 2 weken quarantine had moeten zijn, is er één van 20 jaar geworden. Door de ligging, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">werd het beheer van het containerpark een gekibbel tussen het Franse departement region Nord pas de Calais,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> de Vlaamse provincie West Vlaanderen en de Waalse provinicie Henegouwen, waardoor de procedure</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> om uit het containerpark te mogen gaan niet kon worden opgemaakt.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Ons adres is sinds twintig jaar het ‘no man's land Vagevuurstraat N 50.755646, E 3.179468. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Containeropolis, zoals we die omgedoopt hebben telt ondertussen 20000 inwoners, 8000 oceaan containers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">En ja stukjes van de Gentse knowhow werden in Containeropolis een realiteit:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">- de eerste common stad naar het commons model van Michel Bauwens</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">- autonomie in voedsel dankzij aquaponie in oceaan containers van urban smart farm</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">- circulaire economie principes waarbij de computer onderdelen van de achtergelaten wagens werden</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> omgebouwd tot een lokaal computer netwerk</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">- Autonomie in kleding dankzij productie van vlas en hennep</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">- Ondergronds energie netwerk op basis van geothermie</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">En Gent? Gent zelf blijft me in gedachten als een prachtige stad. In de herfst van 2020 werden</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> de witte vlaggen ter bedanking van het verplegend personeel vervangen door rode van honger. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Lange wachtrijen voor voedselpakketten van het World Food program waren ongezien. 2021 bleek</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> het vaccin niet te werken, en namen de happy fews een definitief ticket voor een afgescheiden </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">leven op een cruiseschip van MSC of Royal caribbean om niet terug te komen. In het voorjaar </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">van 2025 kwam de Schelde uit zijn oevers, braken de dijken, door de klimaatcrisis; Gent is </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">sindsdien enkel per boot bereikbaar ;de St Michielstoren en boekentoren zijn zichtbare punten </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">boven het wateroppervlak en zijn de een kardinale en laterale boei .</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Wat doe ik de ganse dag in mijn container?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Digital communicatie gebeurt sinds 2022 via de LEO satellieten van Space X en ook dankzij </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">een glasvezel (betaald door Henegouwen in objectief 1 van Coronarelance) naar het Google data center</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> in St Ghislain. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Ik werk nog steeds als incubatie opvoeder voor de AI robots van het Google data center. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Mijn vrouw heeft haar kennis van het gevangeniswezen ingezet om verdwaalde AI robots dwangmatig </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">herop te voeden; </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">De ZOOM sessie is een lang verleden, nu kan ik met brain VR scan het feest nabootsen en </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">genodigden uitnodigen; het virtuele voedsel werd in 2032 aangepast met een nieuwe smaak upgrade; </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Dochter Liesbeth is uit het containerpark kunnen vluchten na haar studies van Yale Digital </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">waar ze Maurice Limpens heeft ontmoet ; ze is, dankzij het VISA excellence programma aan boord </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">kunnen gaan van de cruise Royal Caribbean 45, in de haven van Zee-Gent en leeft daar sindsdien </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">in de happy few ‘gated community’ met Maurice op de wereldzeeën. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Containeropolis is niet zo slecht, danzij de Gent aanpak sinds jaren. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;">Hopelijk stijgt het water nog wat verder zodat, beste kleinkinderen XAE5 en XAE9, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: 20px; white-space: pre;"> jullie cruise schip Royal Caribbean 48 hier kan aanmeren.</span></span><br />

On the 27th of April 1994 the first general democratic elections in South Africa paved way for a definitive closing of the Apartheid period.
