This is Crowdsourcing Mornings! This post takes place every weekday morning and highlights one crowdsourcing project I liked from Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or other crowdsourcing websites.
Please read our crowdsourcing guidelines at:

We need your support to fund the initial setup of the digital infrastructure required to organize a collective learning network and produce a series of podcasts, weekly newsletters and social knowledge activities. These annual activities – from live sessions to reading groups – will help you to explore, discuss and stay up to date on a broad spectrum of topics related to the mental, social and environmental dimensions of the digital technologies and internet cultures.
The Billion Seconds Institute is a non-profit, lifelong learning initiative to organize a network of specialists, advisors and communities of practice around a long-term purpose: to re-imagine the digital economy by learning collectively how to become intercitizens.
Our aim is to help you expand and cultivate holistic ways of thinking, long-term approaches and creative strategies for systemic change, always while encouraging solidarity and collective critical hope.
This social knowledge program is for anyone that is seeking a flexible, shared and safe space-time to invest their attention and experience in better understanding the complex challenges of our times.
The collective learning network of The Billion Seconds Institute is open to a broad spectrum of curious professionals who – in any number of different ways – are shaping digital ecosystems.
This includes (but is not limited to):
- Designers: coming from service, strategic, interaction or visual design backgrounds
- Strategists: working on digital strategy, branding or innovation management
- Storytellers: from art directors and producers to journalists, editors and writers
- Artists & Curators: especially for those coming from the famous intersection of art and technology 😉
- Researchers: working on policy, cultural trends, foresight and the not-so-famous intersection of technology and society
- Technologists: programmers, developers, engineers and data scientists working in Big Tech or low-tech
This is just a guide. If you fall somewhere between or beyond these labels – and whether you are freelance, employed, self-employed or unemployed – our program is designed for you to exchange ideas, inspire action and learn collectively how to become intercitizens alongside other purpose-driven peers.
