The purpose of the space is to rebuild the commons and become a vibrant educational space. The space will be completely run as a commons, in a fully transparant way, and will contribute to bringing commons, participative democracy and regenerative systems as one of the main transition topics into the heart of Brussels. \n\nThe space offers opportunities to co-work and  meet in the big co-working area on the first floor. And it houses a big event space to organise gatherings, conferences for cross-pollination and education. \n\nThe first major project we ran, besides opening the space June 1st 2024, is organise the Regen Village, a hub for the regen community alongside EthCC Brussels 2024. This event was in full partnership with Regens Unite.\n\nCheck recap video here: https://youtu.be/FSCi_173Alw?si=gxbadU9jqj3u4U-m\n\nThe goal in the next months, from August to December is to put in place the foundations of a the Commons Hub Brussels to become a thriving, community run shared space that optimises for self-organisation, shared responsibility, innovation and local & global oriented community events and members.\n\nMore concretely this means: \n- establishing a solid membership base and build a proper commons (with Elinor Ostrom as our guide) \n- implement process flows for the use of the event space \n- integrating sociocracy as a governance model, \n- building a legal cooperative, \n- setting up a community platform for democratic decision making (in Notion),\n- creating a model for all members to contribute with time (doing a shift e.g. cleaning the floor or storytelling) to the commons, \n- integrating innovative tools like the Citizen Wallet to create time banks, transparant financing and credit systems.\n\nWe are also laying the foundations for a resource library on commoning, democracy and new economies. This will include interviews and calls with inspirational projects that will be published. Examples: BeesCoop cooperative supermarket in Brussels, DiscoCoop in Berlin, ...\n\nAll of this work will be open source and available for similar projects to reuse and adjust to everyone's own contexts. \n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "commonshub_bxl"}
