I am Sunna Kovanen, a regional geographer and freelance writer from Finland. I have been working in different NGOs in Finland and for a regional office of East and North Finland in Brussels.
With Commons I have mostly been involved during my studies and freetime. I have been active in Commons.fi / Solidarity economy network Finland, mapping solidarity economy actors in the country and researching and writing for our blog and some academic publications.
My themes have included common learning of embodied knowledge via theater improvization in comparison to common digital knowledge processes, and institutionalization and upscaling of common self-organized service production. The interest to embodied knowledge comes from my hobby in theater improvization. The theme of my next article ist care commons and feminist economies.
I have lived the last year in Berlin, getting known to german-speaking commons movements and supporting the organizational development of our CSA-farm in Brandenburg. Latest I have been working for Berlin & Brandenburg ImWandel, an online media and map about alternatives of collaborative economy in and around Berlin. Starting from next year I am planning to work and study with a Cooperative "Ehta Raha" in Helsinki, which develops needs-based economy with local communities in Finland.
