# Introduction
The topic “Commoning care” emerged from a set of creative methods and collective "rituals" used to escape the capitalist hegemony within childcare and schooling pedagogies. However, "commoning care" here is also broadly intended as a statement, to say that the only work that has to be done immediately is the one which aims to undo capitalism altogether.
The topic “Commoning care” emerged from a set of creative methods and collective "rituals" used to escape the capitalist hegemony that were experimented with in a context of collectivizing childcare and explore different pedagogies. "Commoning care" here is also broadly intended as a statement, to say that the only work that has to be done immediately is the one which aims to undo capitalism altogether. The first 4 sessions of this topic are therefore focused on the questions of life/work balance and unpaid labour, while the last two are related to the experience of creating a pirate kindergarten in Milan.
Both “commoning” and “care” are concepts around which many theories (and practices) have emerged and grown in the last decades. Therefore, it is risky – and indeed it may sound confusing – to bring these terms together. At the same time however, this can also be a strategy to create a perspective, a viewpoint from which to navigate these concepts without making them abstract and, as a consequence, delivering them to capitalistic uses. Such reterritorialization happens frequently: one just has to think of terms such as "queer" or "participation", to name just a couple, which have been quickly appropriated by market investment strategies and state's practices of control on propriety. However, the battle over language is never settled: we always lose and take back concepts, inventing and reinventing meanings and perspectives through which a word can show its worlds.
