Suggestion: create a category so that the different groups and cooperatives that participate in the ecosystem can introduce themselves and know each other

[Claudio]

Creating a category with these characteristics would favor the creation of synergies between collectives and between collectives and individuals and the interconnectivity between them -one of the main objectives of Faircoop-. I propose that this category be organized by topics such as: "renewable energies", "environmentalism", "agriculture", etc., in such a way that all groups have a place.

A practical example of what might happen if this category is created is the following: An eco-village meets an organic farming group. Together, they exchange knowledge, including products if they are close. Then another group that uses solar panels falls into this category of the forum and communicates with previous groups to exchange knowledge on the subject. Finally, three groups have interconnected, generated synergies and benefited each other.

Therefore, if everyone agrees, I ask that the person with capabilities in the forum to create a new category do so, if he / she considers it.

Sounds like a great idea to me. Thanks @Claudio.
How do you suggest to call this new top category?

[Claudio]

For example: Cooperatives and collectives

doesn't seem like big issue. but let's make the cat name short. rather than cooperatives and collectives let's make it simply 'Collectives' or maybe a better shorter suggestions.

Would like to add one thing ie be sure to think of how a category for 'Extension' work out with collaborating collectives.

I am wondering if collectives could profit the Introduce yourself thread in order to do that? that thread could work for individuals/cooperatives and collectives if we can change the introduction and question suggestions?

Maybe call it "Collective Synergies" or "Collective Connections".
