Urbánika is an international collective of tech commoners that calls itself an “immersive activism school.”
Led by Humberto Besso-Oberto Huerta of Mexico, the group wants to help build peer-governed, climate-resilient smart cities and communities, especially in Latin America.
For this ambitious goal, Urbánika has nearly finished kitting out a climate-positive “SolarPunk Bus.” The amazing vehicle will serve as a mobile learning center as it tours Latin American cities.
Another innovative Urbánika initiative: an educational video series, “PostCapitalism and the Commons.” This course consists of fifteen short videos. You can find the entire series online here.
The course aims to “provide knowledge and modern examples about commons to show that there are plenty of alternatives to our current extractivist and transactional way of living.”
The course is free to access. The course is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 license, so that it can be reproduced, remixed, and shared at no cost.
A lighter series of educational videos produced by Urbánika two years ago. This series, “Commoning 101 – Learning Pills,” (with Spanish subtitles), is a series of amusing virtual-reality animations that introduce the commons to viewers in short gulps.
