The Bristol Commons is a movement of people coming together to create change. We aim to nurture community resilience and abundance through grassroots democracy and networks of mutual aid. Our vision is for a world in which everyone effectively and enjoyably meets their own and each other’s needs, regenerating the natural world, and ourselves as part of it, through the collective power of the commons.

This event is part one of an event series following our Festival of Commoning, seeking to continue the threads of discussion from the day. They will explore how we can come together as a community to mitigate and address the ongoing crises in Housing, Health + Care, and Music + Arts.

~ Commoning our Financial Privilege ~

This workshop will continue the conversations on this theme started at our Festival of Commoning, exploring how we can reimagine inheritance as a means to create more equitable access to secure housing.

~ Open Space ~

Open Space is an emergent strategy to invite in multiple perspectives and allow people to shape the session to their particular interests or needs.
Participants are invited to propose a session, workshop or discussion point that fits within the general theme. The group will then break-out into a series of smaller sessions, held by those that proposed them, with space held at the end for each session to feed back into the whole group.
