semente is a toolkit for community development. Based on decades of experience in open initiatives, collaborative actions and transdisciplinary methods, semente offers concrete ways to create, visualise and improve commons-based systems.

The tools and vision created by semente are result of ongoing collaborations between activists, designers, nonprofits and researchers in Brazil and Europe.
