Day 1
At the beginning we did an activity for discuss about our values with our classmates
Recommendation of Book : Design for the pluriverse
"Design as discipline and practice is capable of dealing with uncertainty."
What is collective intelligence : enhanced capacity that is created when people work together, often with the help of technology. It emerges when these contributions are combined to become more than the sum of their parts.

REFLECTION ON THE COURSE
This week of the course "Collective Intelligence" was really interresting because we discussed a number of topics that were meaningful and in link with our design practices.
For me, the best things about this course was when we discovered a lot of different examples and resources which can be inspiring for our future projects. So personally i learnt a lot thanks to these examples.
Also the activities were helpful to understand and discuss the work with communities and how much we are more connected with each other and how we can work together in a better way. Furthermore i understood that communities are not necessarily those with a lot of difficulties and inequalities in other part of the earth, but they can also be the communities right next to you in your city, your classroom and even those you are a part of.
And I think this week could have been better and more impactful if we had a project to complete by the end of the week. Because we would have had the impression of applying all this knowledge and information in a croncrete project. And it would also make it easier to work with communities for our future projects.
