To create or strengthen projects:

  • Collective and collaborative that are viable, sustainable over time and respectful with the environment.
  • Made open and Free knowledge, technologies and methodologies.
  • Horizontal, participatory, democratic and community-based management and governance.
  • Where production is organised through fair and respectful relationships.

In recent years we have been realising that the economy must be transformed. The tension between extractive economic models and solidarity economy models (social market, intercooperation, commons oriented) must favour the latter and be put at the service of the needs of people and the planet. In recent months, this evidence has become overwhelming and we are aware that we cannot continue to delay making the necessary changes.

This programme will help projects evolve, in whatever development level they may be. You will be accompanied by a team of tutors and advisers who know the available technologies, legal and financial tools and co-creation methodologies and who have accompanied around fifty projects in the four editions of the programme. A team that is connected and aware that the complexities of the present times force us to create collective and multidisciplinary responses.

The programme runs from February to June 2021, with different intensities adapted to the needs of each project with

  • Guided workshops with online materials and visual canvases.
  • Self-managed collaborative work and group support through the Agora (online forum)
  • Tutorials and individual support

To make projects evolve through the 5 Pillars of the Commons: community, knowledge sharing, governance, mobilised resources and production.

To finish the programme having made a prototype, tested the project and defined a road-map.

You will meet other people who are also making transforming projects and will be able to exchange experiences and knowledge with a large network of people connected to the organisations coordinating the programme.
