Global Open Movement/Objectives

The event "Global Open Movement" aims at contributing to an open movement, and to increase the impact of the open. More specifically the event aims at triggering the collaboration among groups, institutions and events already contributing to the open movement and communicating and making visible the power and value of the open.

By involving many groups, institutions and events and by focusing on a large-scale global gathering, the event aspire at having a larger impact than the single events and at experimenting and having fun while doing it :)


Objective	Expected impact
Triggering the collaboration among groups, institutions and events already contributing to the open movement	Increasing the connections and interactions among groups, institutions and events already contributing to the open movement.
	Exposing members of different groups and institutions already contributing to the open movement to different open projects and initiatives, to facilitate knowledge transfer and engagement in multiple initiatives.
	More efficient use of the resources, by focusing on scholarships to increase participation, inclusion and diversity at one large-scale event.
	Using the preparatory time of the event to work on knowledge transfer among groups and institutions already contributing to the open movement. Increasing the interoperability among open content, open software and open hardware and the interactions around common working areas (research, GLAMs, education, medicine, sustainability, climate change, inclusion and diversity, advocacy...). Supporting the creation and further development of joint actions.
Communicating and making visible the power and value of the open	Communicating to a wide audience the value and power of the open.
	Producing a communication which goes beyond the active communities and engages a larger audience.


	People contributing to the open movements	Large public and communication
Opportunities	Opportunity to gather and discuss with other communities. Possibility to consider how to scale current experiences and solutions within the frame of the global movement. Possibility to consider more broadly open content, software and hardware.	One track dedicated to the large public.
Risks	People tend to stay in their own group, do not exchange practices, do not truly have the chance to talk to people they do not know. A large-scale event is difficult to navigate and to take advantage of: too many talks, events and gatherings. Too many people wanting to participate in the same events. Rooms packed and no opportunities to participate.	The large public sees the open movement as small tribes and a niche.

Risk mitigation

Risks	Mitigation plan
People tend to stay in their own group, do not exchange practices, do not truly have the chance to talk to people they do not know.	Involving many volunteers to support and welcome participants. Organising games and activities which can facilitate socialisation.
A large-scale event is difficult to navigate and to take advantage of: too many talks, events and gatherings.	The program can be redesigned according to interests and communities.
Too many people wanting to participate in the same events. Rooms packed and no opportunities to participate.	Rooms with screens to attend talks also outside. Looking for larger rooms. Increasing the number of rooms. Estimated number of seats for the event.
The large public sees the open movement as small tribes and a niche.	Creating short videos to present people and communities. Communication campaign to explain key concepts.
