This is the documentation of the OSCEdays Varambon event. You will find links for the documentation of the challenges below.
We had a one day event with about 20 active participants. About half were locals participants, who did not know or knew very little about OSCE, so this is a success since one of our objective was to raise awareness about collaborative and open source strategies in this rural area.
VIDEO REPORT
During the OSCEdays happened a lot of live reporting – live-video chats with 25 cities. The global reporting was done from berlin. And here is the report from our venue:
What we did
First, all participants presented themselves, with their particular skills, expectations or interest in Circular Economy. Collective discussion lead to a few descriptive words drawn by each participants as a part of a tree. Explaining why a certain part (leaves, roots, seeds,…) was chosen alos contributed to the dialogue.
5 projects were developed branching from the main theme.
Small groups were formed around each project and started collective work, people arriving during the afternoon were able to join existing groups.
4 conceptual models were created for each project and presented collectively.
3 main themes were approached: Energy <-> Documentation <-> Materials
Further work should be done to rethink the links between those themes.

What’s next?
- The local (and global!) OSCEdays community is invited to go visit the aggregate quarry in Château Gaillard for a specific focus on circular Economy in the construction and civil engeneering sector, more specifically targeting construction waste . This company handles 300 000 tons of granulate per year. If you are interested please get in touch.
