PORGEP

6 February 2019Announcementspibinko

PORGEP stands for pibinko.org Exchange Program, or “programma di scambio pibinko.org” in Italian.

This idea was started in a non-casual manner in 2006. The concept is to create a situation where at least three subjects meet, having some affinities and some strong differences, but with a common goal of personal growth. The outcome can be documented under the form of positive feedback from the participants and the hosts, professional qualification, and socio-economic benefits of various sorts. Most of the initiatives which you see documented from the pibinko.org web site (e.g. the More info on…, News,in the media, Services), especially from Fall 2006 onwards, are based on a PORGEP logic.

Would you like to be a part of PORGEP?

This can be as a participant, as a host, or as a sponsor. In any case, please express your interest by sending an e-mail toinfo@pibinko.org, specifying the role you envision, a topic (either within those managed by the pibinko.org network, or a new one), and potential places and dates.

You will be then contacted to discuss your idea more in detail.

Sharing the Perception of Credibility in Participatory Investigation (2019) – draft

2 February 2019Photos, Talksbuiometria partecipativapibinko

Noisy-Champs (Paris, France) Feb. 2, 2019, 3.30PM

Presentation of the discussion by (in alphabetical order) Giacomelli A., Goebel C, Vargiu A., Van Reeth N, Zimmerman N, concerning the issue of credibility in the context of participatory investigation. Closing session of the workshop “Empowering civil society through participatory investigation?” promoted by the European Citizen Science Association in collaboration with various subjects.

In this summary I applied for the first time in public an idea which I had in 2014 or 2015 in Scansano (Southern Tuscany) during breakfast at Bar delle Cascine (the notes of this are in Tatti, Southern Tuscany).

I proposed to my colleagues the idea of putting this draft into a better shape, since all the workshop participants found it very interesting for its contents and the way they were presented…this is a work in progress in February. If you are interested to know more, please write to info@pibinko.org.

28 January 2019Announcementspibinko

A two-page summary presenting the 2018 pibinko.org network activities is available (download PDF).

The same document provides a brief presentation of the network, and of how this developed starting from 2006, in the combination of urban sprawls, rural areas, ancient games, post-modern technologies, tattoos, covers of 1911 blues songs, sandwiches with marinate anchovies, beatboxing, boxing, and…

…know-how and expertise which apparently has a certain level of inspiration, as demonstrated by various testimonials and the media coverage concerning our stories.

It will help to complement the report with

the presentation of the Metalliferous Hills Jug Band project, for its “geomusical” aspects.
