Welcome Visitors

Welcome to this Federated Wiki site - **Faculty of care work**. Here we develop the framing of a ‘faculty’ of care work, in a ‘college of conviviality’.

This is where I develop work in progress towards a cluster of formacion coops - a venture following the vision of Robin Murray in **making the living economy**. It exploits the new thinking of the **DisCO governance model** for distributed, commons-oriented coops and aims for a radical co-produced infrastructuring of **tools for conviviality** in activist practice.

Production was a central orientation in Robin Murray’s practice, and 'formacion' was a significant variant of this - especially in the latter part of his life, with **Synergia**, **Schumacher College** & **the Coop University**. But it's not something he addressed much on the page. This chapter makes an attempt at that.

The foprop weave is a frame for a pattern language of activist life. foprop engages three **landscapes** of practice which stand in an intimate, inseparable relationship with one another. It recognises four **zones** of proximity and reach. The three landscapes and four zones constitute 'the weave'.
