We focus on projects that match 3 criteria
Experienced individuals running existing open source projects mentor and support less experienced participants who contribute to the mentors’ initiatives. The process is designed to ensure that both project leaders and project contributors develop their hard and soft skills.
We provide up to 4 months incubation at the OpenVillage, a fellowship residency program in a safe and curated environment allowing participants to develop their projects and skills. Edgeryders coordinates the fellowship residency program at The Reef, an edgeryders-managed coliving and co-working space in Morocco.
We organise online activities where participants introduce their projects and connect with teams consisting of project leaders and project contributors. This process takes place on the online platform, where members find each other and coordinate with over 200 active users.
An annual festival is co-curated by participants in the fellowship program. This is an interface to amplify the initiative, showcase projects, draw support, disseminate knowledge and make new connections to the outside world. Revenue from the festival in the form of sponsorship and sales finances the Fellowships.
