OSCE Days 2019 are ON in June. It’s time to TAKE A STAND.
Let’s create MOMENTUM and show the world WE CARE and WE INTERVENE!
Read below to see how.
DEAR FRIENDS
We hope all of you are doing well, working successfully towards a sustainable, open, happy world.
IT IS TIME TO GET YOUR LOCAL TEAM READY for OSCEdays 2019. Our fifth global event will take place JUNE 7 - 17th 2019!
In order to make it easy to share our enthusiasm with each other and the world, we came up with the idea of a PHOTO/ HASHTAG CAMPAIGN focused on solutions with a sense of urgency as humanity continues to accelerate unsustainable trends. Just this month, scientists have announced that carbon dioxide has reached levels in our atmosphere not seen in 3 million years (Science Advances)!
Our response is to STAND UP & HACK OR TRANSFORM OUR CITIES into the physical and virtual spaces from which sustainable solutions will radiate towards regions, countries, the whole planet. The June event motto is The City is Open Source. We invite you to answer questions such as:
- What if the city was a farm to feed us?
- What if the city was a café (or any other social space)?
- What if the city was …?
and document and publish your findings or personal answer/opinion in at least a PICTURE using #OSCEdays and #City.
Of course feel free to choose your own activity to work on and your own dates, if June is not feasible. However please make sure you share and document as much as you can as it is essential to our community’s mission 
Please continue to use our forum - if you need help, there is always someone ready to answer!
