Translation Ambassadors (Let's Globalize the Tool): I am looking for native speakers of other languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, German, etc.) who are willing to translate the Canvases and the executive summaries of the methodology. Since I manage this project alone, I cannot cover every language myself. Your help will ensure that when I release the "Digital Toolkit," it is globally accessible and useful for communities around the world from day one.

AI Copilot Beta Testers (Model Trainers): If I reach the goal to develop the AI, I will need critical users to test the software before launch. I am looking for technical profiles or participation experts who want to "stress test" the Civic Design Copilot with complex real-world cases, detect bugs, and help me fine-tune the responses to ensure the tool is robust and professional.

Civic Hubs (Local Pick-up Points): To simplify logistics and reduce the carbon footprint of individual shipments, I am looking for physical spaces (bookstores, coworkings, universities, or association HQs) in key cities willing to receive a package of 20-50 books. Backers in your city will be able to pick up their rewards there, saving us costs and, most importantly, generating a physical meeting point for people with shared interests.

Media Amplifiers (Podcasts & Blogs): Beyond sharing on social media, I need to reach specific niches where my voice doesn't travel. If you run a podcast, blog, or newsletter about architecture, urbanism, technology, or politics, I am looking for spaces to do an interview or a book review. Help me explain why "Participation Washing" is a problem and how we can solve it.

Academic Partners (Classroom Validation): I am looking for professors or master's coordinators willing to use one of the book's Canvases in a real class with their students. I need you to document the process (photos and brief conclusions) to share as a case study. This validates the methodology as a pedagogical and "battle-ready" tool for the new generation of civic designers.

Professional Partners (Field Validation): I am looking for active architects, urban planners, facilitators, or community leaders willing to test one of the book's Canvases in a real-world project (with a client, an association, or an institution). I need you to apply the tool "in the trenches" and document the result (a photo of the session and a brief testimonial on how it worked). Your experience is vital to prove that Civic Design is not just theory, but a practical and effective solution for real market problems.

Institutional Connectors: The rewards for institutions (University or Consulting Packs) are vital for funding the AI but difficult to sell "cold." If you have direct access to decision-makers (Deans, Innovation Councilors, NGO Directors), I need your help to forward the campaign to them with a personal recommendation. A warm introduction is worth more than a thousand emails.

Data Curators (Feeding the AI): For the Copilot to be truly smart, it needs to read many quality case studies. I am looking for researchers or urban planners to help me select and filter PDF documents (with open licenses) regarding civic design and social innovation projects. Your criteria will serve to build the knowledge base with which I will train the model.

Graphic Facilitators: The book is dense with technical content, and sometimes an image explains a concept better. I am looking for visual artists or designers willing to read a preview chapter and create a "visual note," illustration, or infographic summary. This material will be key to moving the campaign on social media and making the methodology more accessible and viral.
