The Civic Space is home to the insight, collaboration, and innovation of people strengthening education, economic, and workforce development. It's the space where people create new conversations to address unprecedented change in health care, water, and energy affecting communities and their regions. The Civic Space is outside the four walls of any organization, or office and it's a place where no one can tell anyone else what to do.
The Civic Space demands simple rules of civility and high moral standards, essential for building open, trusted, networks to transfer ideas quickly, connecting them to resources and capabilities for citizens and students.
Once clear pathways between citizens, businesses and government, now fractured as a result of shifting education, economic, and workforce systems, need to be rebuilt. The Civic Space is where we reverse engineer this new infrastructure to bridge gaps between people and opportunity.
To do this, we leverage Open Source Economic Development practices and tools to help us to think strategically and act collaboratively, and in a process called "Strategic Doing" - moving ideas quickly to action.
The Civic Space is a self-correcting platform for people to come together, share ideas, build networks, and align legacy assets of organizations with emergent transformative initiatives.
As a result, the Civic Space is capable of an extraordinary generation of inventions, prototypes and creative enterprise solutions connecting local to global economies.
