Building Sustainable Futures: Solidarity Economies Visioning Session
#fhtogglels/Details/Close/ib
In this workshop with Solidarity Economy STL at CF:STL Lab, we will invite participants to imagine what it would be like to live in a solidarity economy where all of the things a community needs–like housing, schools, farms and food production, local governance structures, art and culture, healthcare and healing, and transportation–are controlled and governed by everyday people. Through interactive discussions and visioning exercises, we will examine the potential for building these models and envision how solidarity economy principles can be applied to housing and other systems in our communities.
