The Patchwork Model gather people around an issue and makes them amuse to find the solution proper for all. It doesn't build weak consensus but strong agreement. This is the game: a patchwork coloured with different views will become, through interactions among users, in an harmonious fabric enriched with thousands shades. Patchwork is the game and patchworkers are the players who can engage, both in local and global agoras, both for trivial and grave aims.
