**Notice:** this project is paused for the time being. It will eventually be reformulated around [[prisma:prismar|Prismar]].

**sei.eco** is a vertical portal whose goal is to become a reference in [[sei.eco/english#socio-ecological innovation|socio-ecological innovation]], in the form of a complete marketplace and offering a [[sei.eco/english#distributed social learning|distributed social learning]] environment on this subject.

It will offer:

  * tools for management, PR, registering and billing for local initiatives (autonomous schools, independent spaces, small producers, eco-villages, collectives);
  * learning itineraries both face-to-face and online for people and groups interested in learning about socio-ecological innovation;
  * qualified and relevant information on themes related to socio-ecological innovation.

==Context==

sei.eco was conceived in Ubatuba, a brazilian hub of socio-ecological innovation. It has been sewing an inter-institutional web of partnerships with public, private, nonprofit and academic sectors. Through [[ubalab:UbaLab]], it is connected to an international network of groups and organizations dedicated to initiatives of socio-ecological innovation and themes alike. It is one of the projects affiliated to [[inc:inc|inc.ubalab]] collaborative incubator, created by the end of the [[cienciaaberta:cienciaaberta|Ciência Aberta Ubatuba]] project.

===Horizon: Distributed learning about socio-ecological innovation===

==Socio-ecological innovation==

All the reflexive and concrete initiatives oriented towards creating a better world. They operate particularly well in a molecular level - communities, neighbourhoods, streets. Read more about this perspective [[https://medium.com/@felipefonseca/socio-ecological-innovation-dc1999d556a5|here]] or watch this lecture by John Thackara, //Thinking like a forest//:

==Distributed Social Learning==

The perspective of **distributed social learning** proposes that people learn from each other, instead of submitting to the authority of someone that would decide what and how they will learn. It understands the huge diversity of resources available on the internet as an universal repository of human knowledge, and creates tools to discover, organize and filter materials by their relevance, legitimacy and adequacy to the interest of each one.

As an environment of distributed learning, instead of "courses" sei.eco will allow the creation of learning "itineraries" - like thematic playlists that organize any given educational object found on the internet, together with metadata and comments from the users themselvez, and can be freely shared and remixed. It will have also an active curatorship of learning objects, validated by people experienced on the themes touched. It will be developed with free/open source software and agile and open methodologies.
