Sharing economy – what is it and how does it connect or divide people? Debate after the film THE GIG IS UP!, dir. Shanon Walsh
In Polish
Partner: WSB University in Gdynia
The model of sharing economy which we know from Uber, Pyszne.pl or Amazon is developing dynamically. About 40 per cent of the world’s employees work this way. The stories of such platforms’ employees still remain in the shadow of the 21st century’s revolutionary business model. The film which presents their stories from various parts of the world is an occasion to have a debate and answer the following questions: Are sharing economies the outcome of a revolution which was brought on by the technology? How are they going to the develop? How does working in such a model change our lives and societies? Why does “interpersonal” economy arouse so much controversy? Is a new era of consumers coming?
