Design Charrette Reflective Report& Outlook
Professional Output
Between 15 and 17 September 2025, we hosted a three-day design charrette on Civic Protocol Economies (CPE): the emerging intersection of community-driven civic economies and programmable, protocol-based infrastructures.
Building on the 2024 exploratory study supported by the Centre of Economic Transformation, the charrette brought together 27 designers, researchers, technologists, and civic practitioners from 10 countries to test a first conceptual model, learn from grounded cases, and explore what programmable value exchange could mean when the goal is collective wellbeing rather than extraction.
