8 8  I understand open-source as a method that encourages everyone to build, review, reproduce, improve a technology or an innovation (rather than recreating it).

10 -I see the value of open-source in its ability to help us achieve **decent and healthy life for everyone**, as it fosters collaboration rather than competition, and reduces barriers to access knowledge.

We develop digital games to help asthmatic children manage their crises, or to value self- and mutual care, both for people who live with reduced breath capacity (cystic fibrosis, COPD) and for the public. Did you know air pollution reduces our life expectancy by 20 months?
