The Parallel Society Playbook is a growing collection of practical knowledge from Circles documenting the first steps in the creation of the Logos parallel society.
#REDIRECT [[Start a Circle/Parallel Society Playbook]]
 
Its purpose is simple: when a Circle figures out how to solve a concrete, winnable civil society issue, we want other Circles to be able to learn from that experience and adapt it locally'''.'''
 
Rather than every Circle having to start from scratch, we can turn local organising experience into shared knowledge.
 
Together, the issues we solve form the basis of a global parallel society.

== Entries by issue bucket ==
Each entry is filed under its issue bucket automatically. The buckets are explained in [[Start a Circle/Circles Civil Society Issue Buckets (Pilot)|Circles Civil Society Issue Buckets (Pilot)]].
* [[:Category:Playbook: Economy & Cost of Living|Economy & Cost of Living]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Housing|Housing]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Healthcare|Healthcare]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Welfare & Social Protection|Welfare & Social Protection]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Security & Crime|Security & Crime]]

* [[:Category:Playbook: Rule of Law & Institutions|Rule of Law & Institutions]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Education & learning|Education & learning]]
* [[:Category:Playbook: Unsorted|No bucket yet]]
 
All entries in one list: [[:Category:Playbook]].
 
== Add an entry ==
Every entry is its own page, written by the Circle that did the work.
# Pick a title: <code>Playbook/</code>, your Circle's name, a colon, then a clear, specific title describing the issue and the outcome.
# Type that title into the search box at the top of the wiki and choose to create the page.
# Copy everything in the grey box below into the new page, fill in each section, and save. The lines between <code>&lt;!--</code> and <code>--&gt;</code> are the questions for each section and do not show on the page.

== The issue ==
&lt;!-- What specific problem were you trying to solve? --&gt;
 
== Why was it winnable ==
&lt;!-- Why did you believe this was something your Circle could realistically make progress on? --&gt;
 
== Who was affected ==
&lt;!-- Who experienced this problem, and who had a stake in solving it? --&gt;
 
== Our goal ==
&lt;!-- What specific outcome were you trying to achieve? --&gt;

== What we learned ==
&lt;!-- What are the most important lessons another Circle should know? --&gt;
 
== What could another Circle replicate ==
&lt;!-- Which parts of your approach could be adapted and used in another city or community? --&gt;
 
== Resources ==
&lt;!-- Add any useful documents, guides, contacts, tools, or other resources that could help another Circle replicate the work. --&gt;
</pre>
 
== What happens after you add an entry ==
Your contribution can become part of the '''Parallel Society Playbook''', alongside experiences from other Circles.
 
The aim is to build a living, open-source resource rather than a static handbook.
 
Over time, the playbook should help Circles:
 
Find a winnable issue → learn from previous campaigns → adapt the approach locally → create a new win → share what was learned.
 
Every contribution makes the next issue easier for another Circle.
