I just received news today that I will be joining the Collective Mind Collaboration Fellows, Cohort 2026-2027!
Collective Mind is building a new human-driven, community-based, and AI-empowered tool – the Collective Mind Compass– to support practitioners working on collaboration.
As a Fellow, I’ll be contributing my experience from the field to help shape what gets built.
This year, I began to lay the foundation for a new initiative- the Pedestrian Space hosted ‘Global URBAN HEAT Media Lab’ which includes a growing network of individuals working with and collaborating on issues of urban heat mitigation
https://pedestrianspace.org/global-urban-heat-media-lab/
I’m really moved and inspired by the momentum of this network developing, as well as the opportunity to take ‘lessons learned’ from my first network experience some years ago and really dig into the importance and layers of thoughtful facilitation and network development for a topic that is related to crisis and resilience.
I was largely motivated by these recent developments in my own networking and collaboration to apply for Collective Mind.
If you work in collaborative structures and want to know more, the call is still open:
