University Students and Faculty from New York and India who have already participated in setting up a time bank in their classroom will discuss their experience. The session will include an opportunity for participants to share offers and needs in small groups, using a condensed version of the Post Growth Institute's Offers and Needs Market <https://offersandneeds.com/>(OANM) process. We welcome all who are interested in exploring alternative projects that draw on the strength of the community to affirm the worth and value of each individual. Projects that are in contrast to the capitalist model of competition, extraction and exploitation, Projects that allow us to experience another way of living and being.
