DisCO Elements

Care-oriented self-governance modules for future-oriented organizations

DisCO Elements are distinct modular practices which you can add to your own DisCO (Culture). DisCO Elements are a great way to create a healthy Cultural/Structural balance.

DisCO Elements

The DisCO Elements are practices that were originally honed in Guerrilla Media Collective, the OG DisCO. They are modular practices uniquely suited for change-making organizations. Read about them and adapt and fork them to your liking for your own DisCO
