A Real Sharing Economy: Workers’ Control to the Sustainable Commons

September 17, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

With Dario Azzellini.

We are launching Venture Commons with back-to-back workshops with Dario Azzelini and Max Haiven (Sept18th) at Just Us Coffee.

Venture Commons is an experimental learning community centered around kick-starting collectives, commons and co-ops to create a REAL sharing economy. Balancing theory and practice, we aim to grow our thinking, skills and capacities to create initiatives that support rather than exploit our communities.
