Wikitoki is a community of practice, action and reflection. It is an ongoing training process of research, conceptualization, prototyping and co-creation. Wikitoki is a place for PRODUCTION (creation, work, activism, research), RE-PRODUCTION (social, relational) and CULTURAL DISSEMINATION (education, exhibition). Wikitoki is a meeting place within a network of spaces, initiatives and programs, where physical and digital dimensions connect.

Wikitoki designs and develops projects, organizes workshops, seminars, congresses and different types of educational and public activities. Wikitoki promotes meetings, articulates dynamics and facilitates synergies; it accompanies and gets implicated in emergent initiatives; it conducts research and releases publications. All these activities are developed around concepts as co-creation, hybridization, P2P, commons, entrepreneurship and social economy, open enterprise, artistic practices, applied creativity, collaborative consumption, participatory urbanism, community development, social technologies, digital fabrication, expanded education, design thinking, anthropological doing, social psychology, digital narratives… Source
