The #MultiPoD project: A European Public Space for Citizen Deliberation 🌐

At a time of #polarisation and political biases, can we foster an open and inclusive political deliberation across linguistic and socio-cultural boundaries?

#Decidim is participating in a new EU-funded project, MultiPoD, contributing to the conceptualisation and development of a digital collaborative infrastructure to foster political participation across #Europe.

It really feels good when I get the opportunity to put the expertise I've developed through my random #MultiPod interests to use.

A friend of mine recently moved into a house with a solar powered backup electrical system, and he told me I've been more helpful in figuring out how his system works than the electrician he called.

#MultiPod skills ftw!

For the multipotentialites and polymaths that follow me, I want to recommend @arcadiapage's book, I Want To Do All The Things.

It's a quick read, but there's some real gems in there about finding an ideal balance of projects and finding your voice as a blogger with so many varied interests.

"What is a #MultiPod anyway?"nobody asked.

Well, nobody, I'll tell you.

It's short for #Multipotentialite, which is a term coined by Emilie Wapnick. Barbara Sher calls us #Scanners. Another term is #RenaissancePerson.

Basically, it's someone who thrives on many interests, projects and passions, simultaneously, cyclically or one after another.

Someone who feels trapped or anxious about just choosing ONE THING.

I'm pushing 40 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

#MultiPod life: Tweaking my profile every day because there's yet another hobby I forgot to mention.

Being on social media again is both awesome and awful for my #multipod-ness.

So many cool and interesting things to dig into, and reminders to resume old hobbies, but so little time to do it all. I feel so inspired but where do I even start?!

@sand So share everything! :You sound like a #multipod lol

Being a #multipod, I always find #introduction posts SO difficult! I write code for money, then use that money to live my best life. I don't like calling myself a software engineer; I loathe the idea of defining myself by my work.

I'm a #DigitalNomad - my wife and I live in an #RV and #travel around North America full-time. My interests change with the wind but generally include #writing, #personaldevelopment, and #selfsufficiency. I'm here to make meaningful and authentic connections.
