 <fs large>//(formerly known as White Canvas)//</fs>
+Schloss Schönburn was previously organised on the basis of the "white canvas" principle.\\
+You can read more about this attempt at the bottom of this page (//White Canvas 2017 and 2018//). \\
+The main idea for the white canvas approach was to leave as much freedom as possible for the participants to create their own vision of Schloss Schönburn, to de-centralize the organisation of common infrastructure (such as gate, rangers, LNT, ... ) and only provide a very raw framework of the most essential organisation (renting the venue, setting up membership sales, managing art grants and budget, ...). We wanted to get **everyone** as involved as possible, trying to create a real sense of community and sparking the joy of co-creation in every participant.
+**This is still our mission.**
+The previous events were running more or less smoothly, we were positively surprised by the extent of co-creation and community spirit and it was a joy to see so many active people contributing to everyone's experience.\\
+**However**, we realised that there were some problems with our "white canvas" approach:
+  * While ideally everything was to be plain white and free to play with by everyone, the castle itself gave us a lot of restrictions and rules to follow
+  * These rules and restrictions had to be communicated to and followed by the participants, which was not always easy to enforce
+  * While the core-orga team was mostly relieved to see that many things happened on their own, initiated by the participants, not everything went 100% smooth and there were reoccurring problems (gate, LNT, placement)
+  * A few individuals were very often stepping in to resolve these problems, causing stressful situations
+  * Most problems could have been prevented by better organisation upfront
+We realised, that in reality we can not provide a completely white canvas, but some lines have to be carefully drawn, some guidelines and rules have to be fixed before filling the rest of the canvas with life.
+<fs large>**Therefore we came to the conclusion, that what we actually need and want to provide is a "<fc #800080>White Origami</fc>" concept. Carefully shaped, but still open for your creativity!**</fs>
+==== What does White Origami actually mean? ====
+There will be a [[orga_team|core-orga team]], taking care of all the basic necessary organisational steps. We will **set up all info systems**, gather all **rules and restrictions**, do our best to **communicate everything** well to participants and we will be available as site leads during the event, ready to **solve a crisis or two**, if necessary.
+Unlike the last years, we will NOT leave key roles and responsibilities such as setting up and maintaining the gate (check-in), LNT, rangers, and placement completely open. Instead, we will **raise awareness** of open positions and vital organisational structures to be filled in, **actively recruit** responsible participants to take these positions, and provide a **general plan** on how we think that these issues should be tackled best.
+Speaking in origami, this is the careful folding of the white paper, which still needs YOU as colourful input!
+When it comes to art projects, music, performances, and workshops, we will still keep the same **self-organising structures** as before. This means that any project, which needs funding, has to be registered as dream on the[[dreams| Dreams platform]], where all participants can vote to decide which projects will be funded. [[stages|Music]], [[happenings|performances, and workshops]] can be planned and organised in collaborative documents (such as Google documents).
+Placement of structures and large happenings will be monitored and guided by the core-orga team to maximise the joy of all participants.
+And last, but certainly not least, we will **provide and manage organisational platforms** as well as personal meetings to let you become a co-creator by **radical participation**!
+The main information platform is this Wiki - which you have already found.
+Check out our [[participation|Participation page]] to see all other ways of becoming a co-creator!
