Un-Edge is a design project aimed at building knowledge of the root cause of our ecological and climate crisis, our economic system.

We need a new economic logic and design that is people and planet centred.

Our response to this transition is to support and grow grassroots democratic innovation by creating a community-based educational platform that provides knowledge resources on commons and democratic organising for a new economy.

Based on several years of research, we have developed a toolbox of open-access educational resources that respond to the needs of grassroots and community organisations.

This is Un-Edge, the ‘uncommon knowledge’, synthesised into four educational themes…

Each module outlined on this website responds to one of the four themes. Together, these modules support organisations seeking to implement democratic models of society towards prosperous social and environmental futures and who aspire to use/are using principles of “commoning” or “commons” decision making. It is not, however, our goal to dictate best practices.

We instead provide resources and design tools for collaborating and co-designing community governance practices that can build resilient economic communities and strengthen local institutions in response to the demands for transition we face.
