Time For The World, soon coming to a community near you!
In August, on the way to and from the TimeBankingUSA conference in Providence, RI, we had Stephanie Rearick and Leander Bindewald visiting and connecting timebanking and community currency projects in several location along the route.
In Philadelphia, Detroit and Toronto we connected the dots with representatives of community building initiatives to map out routes of co-learning and collaboration in the their respective locations. Each of these existing and newly inspired projects constitute part of the rich network of local experimentation and implementations that we want to curate and activate with our first TimeFTW learning platform, called Build For The World (for details and how it will work, see our latest TimeFTW project-description).
At the end of September and all of October, Stephanie and Leander will be on the road again, giving presentations, convening timebanking meetings and trainings all over the USA. Not all meetings are confirmed yet, but if you live “en route” get in touch to get the latest updates or ask for a meet-up:
