August 14-18, 2010:
'On The Money - a Vision Quest to the Heart of Local
Money', a five day workshop for local currency
designers, held at Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland.
Why now? Local money will play a critical
role in the transition to the resilient communities of the
future. A few community currencies have succeeded and lasted
decades. not sustained themselves. After thousands of experiments
around the world it is time to apply the lessons learned to
create a new generation of sustainable systems.
What does the workshop cover? * Why, What, How, Who,
Where and When of community currencies. * How to get past
the initial enthusiasm and idealism to create a system that
lasts. * How to choose the best design features. * How to
involve your community in the development process. * The workshop
will be high on methodology, low in ideology, as we critically
engage with existing models and systems to identify what works
best for your own situation.
Who is leading it? John Rogers and Jonathan Dawson,
both experienced community currency acitivists and teachers.
With guest contributions from Richard Douthwaite, Margrit
Kennedy and Bernard Lietaer and other community currency practitioners.
We will learn together how to channel the idealism and enthusiasm
driving community currrencies into using the right tools to
do the job of design properly and create a quantum shift in
practice.
