Peer reviews are an essential component for continuous improvement and accountability within any team. In a team working with Sociocracy 3.0 (S3.0), peer reviews can be particularly powerful as they align with the principles of collaboration, consent-based decision-making, and decentralised governance.

This’s a guide on how to conduct effective peer reviews in a team using Sociocracy 3.0.

Daphne Bucher looks back at seven successful years at collaboratio helvetica. In this blog post, she talks about her learnings regarding power dynamics, self-responsibility, and personal growth in a self-organised start-up environment.

Organisational learning is important for all contexts, yet more important still for innovative, action research-based, prototype driven initiatives. Dedicated to catalysing social change in Switzerland, collaboratio helvetica designs and runs prototypes and experiments in order to find ways to achieve this goal, and often the learnings from these are the most valuable outcome of the projects.

How to prepare, design and hold space for emerging and transformative collective action. Read here our findings and learnings of the Nova Helvetia journey.

At collaboratio helvetica we believe in catalysing change by bringing people together and sharing an inner and outer exploratory journey, as a necessary preparation for collective action. What happens in such a collective space, like a Social Innovation Lab?

What takes place in such spaces, including the Catalyst Lab itself, is individual and collective learning. But what is learning, and how can we create and cultivate an environment where it can take place?

Any collaboration has its ups and downs and, if we are paying attention, offers an abundance of learning opportunities for all involved. Even when all are trained in collaboration tools, such as Sociocracy 3.0, and have developed key skills, such as self-awareness and listening, things are bound to go awry at some point.

Auch die Organisation collaboratio helvetica, ebenso in Bern lokalisiert, bildet mit ihrem ein-jährigen Catalyst Lab Programm junge Change-Maker aus, globale und lokale Wegbereiter des Neuen zu werden, um die aktuellen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu erkennen, sozial-ökologische Projekte zu gründen und Kapazitäten des Menschseins zu entwickeln.

Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically defined as "learning through reflection on doing". It is a very effective strategy to create sustainable and inclusive learning experiences.
