We've just announced the second Open Source Circular Economy days (<a href="http://oscedays.org" target="_blank">http://oscedays.org</a>), taking place between June 9th-13th 2016, in towns and cities all around the world.<br /><br />We're working towards the ultimate goal of a waste-free, regenerative circular economy, and we see the open source methodology as the best (perhaps only) way to get there.<br />We're building a movement to work on this goal, and develop the tools, methods and projects that can serve as stepping stones to a working circular economy.<br /><br />The Call for Cities is now open, and we would love for more people in the Open Hardware community around the world to get together and work on making their projects more sustainable, more modular, more repairable, and find ways to bring both Circular Economy thinking to the Open Source world, and vice versa.<br /><br />The event is used as a catalyst - to raise awareness, to focus energy and to build networks and working methods which can develop into an ongoing movement of open source circular economy projects and communities.<br /><br />During the first OSCEdays last June, we had 1500+ people in 32 cities on 6 continents takng part - we want this year to be even better, with even more communities connected, more collaboration and ongoing projects.<br />We want to build on the momentum of the growing open source sustainability movement - to reach out to different sectors of society, to test our hypotheses and to develop useful, practical projects which can bring us closer to our goal.<br /><br />To find out more about what we mean by 'Open Source Circular Economy', check out our Mission Statement:<br /><a href="https://oscedays.org/open-source-circular-economy-mission-statement" target="_blank">https://oscedays.org/open-source-circular-economy-mission-statement</a><br /> <br />And if you want to organise, support or take part in an event in your town or city, please read our Participation Guide (<a href="https://oscedays.org/participate" target="_blank">https://oscedays.org/participate</a>) and get in touch.<br /><br />Please spread the word on social media and reach out to people or organisations who may be interested in taking part - you can use this tweet as a starting point if you like:<br /><br />The #OpenSource #CircularEconomy Days Call for Cities for June 2016 is open!
