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.

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.
