From now on we will be sending periodic emails so you can keep track of the activities that are being prepared. Commons Space will be based at ECTO co-working space in Montreal, located at 936 Avenue du Mont-Royal E. We will begin with a welcome event on Monday the 8th, the evening before the World Social Forum begins. Then there will be 2-3 time slots for smaller activities during the day for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. These activities will be staggered so as to complement other World Social Forum events. To get an idea of what is already being planned by the participants, here are examples of confirmed sessions for the Commons Space: · City as a Commons · Panel Discussion for the Commons · Wiki & Mapping Sprint · Cooperatives and Commons · Commons as a New Political Subject · Commons, the State and New Political Movements · Play Commonspoly! · Post-Capitalist Transition Convergence Assembly with other movements · Drafting a Global Commons Charter · Social Economy in Montreal · School of Data Commons Space is an official self-managed thematic committee of the WSF, and is intended to be a space for contributors to collectively build a program.
