WeDo :
By creating a local currency and a lower income for every local citizen, WeDo is a local ecosystem that frees people daily and professional life. Thanks to the new income private people and businesses organize their activities: sometime local work, rewarded in local currency, and work, rewarded as usual. The WeDo platform can be on phones and urban furniture displays set up in the most frequented places of the local district. People can access and manage their time, local money and flow of information related to the neighborhood.
The local currency can be used for every day shopping in the local businesses as well as for buying for local company to local company. Skills and personal contribution are rewarded by the community and enhance the local dynamics, initiatives and trades.
Gabriel is 46 and the father of two girls. Today, thanks to WeDo he is a salesperson Monday to Thursday, a baker on Fridays and teaches cinema from time to time.

At Strate - School of design, the graduation test takes place in one day on which students are asked to present their work. Group of 5 to 8 students are created and a jury of 7 professionals in the design field is assigned to each group. One by one the students expose their reflection and work, both the thesis and the project. Everybody can come see it and the classes are usually full.
The graduates have 20 minutes to present and the jury has 20 minutes to challenge the project. The members of the jury have already read the thesis and lay eyes on the diploma project for the first time.
At the end of the day, all the students and juries gather in the amphitheater for the results. All the member of a jury have to agree on the graduation (or not) of the student. Moreover, each jury has the possibility to give 3 more rewards for their group of students: Congratulations from the jury (for the best project), Special mention for the thesis (for the best thesis), and Firm favorite project (for the most favored project).
