During the Beyond Crisis Conference, organized by the MA Eco-Social Design from the Free University of Bolzano, many thoughts, concepts, and ideas about a sustainable future were shared, created, and discussed.
A lot of inspiring workshops were held among the central question “How to use the virus-induced situation to build up momentum for social-ecological “transformation?”
Our little Ortnerhof community was contributing to finding solutions for the topic of “Commoning, subsistence & sufficiency”, together with a lovely and productive group of like-minded people.
Small self-supporting communities are existing and managing their way to live off the grid, whilst generating new ideas of living in the present world. Especially during the current time, we think that life in communities and around the idea of commoning is beneficial in many ways, especially in terms of financial and social issues and challenges.
Commoning is about caring, sharing, and sustainable management of one’s self, the community as well as nature.
The challenge we faced during the workshop, was the question of how we can scale up the idea of commoning, to introduce more people and make them accept and integrate the concept into their daily lives.
Here is our Outcome:
A CO – OVEN
accessible to everyone, to bake bread, share recipes and ingredients, and overall be a meeting point.
it’s a step by step process, starting with one oven and leading towards a cloud of commoning:
- CO – OVEN: Shared community oven where food, ingredients, recipes, products, skills can be shared (sourdough as an icon); shared space, community and gatherings are created
- CO – OVEN 19: let’s spread a positive virus. create a social platform for CO – OVEN to increase visibility and reach more people (e.g. website, organize pizza festival, go to other festivals with CO-OVEN and make pizza); share knowledge, offer educational courses (e.g. how to make your sourdough); create timetables for when and where people meet (could be a smartphone app); social network
- CLOUD OF COMMONING: Start a supportive, decentralized network of different initiatives (e.g. bike kitchen; food saving); connect different types of service; build alliances; exchange experience, knowledge & resources; Digital and physical (e.g. open-source online platform; open map of commoning projects; physical infrastructures & tools)

for all who love the common:
HELP US FIND A COMMUNITY; SPACE and SUPPORTERS TO BUILD OUR FIRST CO – OVEN.
