We had such a great day and the Autumn follow up will have more of us involved in organisation. We will keep you posted. We should have the Assembly next year in another part of the country hosted by others who have already emailed us i.e Scotland. This email is also a plea to please help me to push the MA again as we are 1 student short. Here are the details again, always in awe of the commons generosity. My best wishes to you all Torange *APPLY NOW FOR ADMISSION SEPTEMBER 2018* *MA: Design for Cultural Commons - **The Cass **(London Metropolitan University)* Although a timely model of practice there are few courses dedicated to the Commons and even fewer for Cultural Commons. This course is not only to reward you with a post graduate qualification but also to support the movement of the commons through expanding its practitioners and its network. The course is 1 year full time and 2 years part-time (the part-time route allows you to work to earn money and set up your future organisation) *What are Commons and why are they relevant today: * The Commons discourse is informed by ideas, which have been around for hundreds of years. In current context of much *inequality*, the Commons discourse offers alternatives and models of sharing. Commons are about the assets that everyone should have the right to, forming resources that should benefit all, rather than being enclosed to just a few. *What you achieve:* In this course you'll learn how resources are shared, protected, reclaimed, created, governed, used and distributed without overuse and abuse.You will create and develop a *live* *project* (anything from a novel to a supermarket) for your new *operating organisation. *The organisation will be formed, it’s governance designed, its financial structure set out and all policies written using Commoning as a model. You will gain expertise in applying creative thinking towards asset sharing, mutual resources, self-governance and peer to peer economic models. Collaborating with cultural institutions and government agencies which we will facilitate, will enable you to develop related policies, projects, collaborations and open up new networks to position your Commons organisation. In the UK, co-production is being referred to in some government policies and tenders and the commons are currently being discussed in policies in the EU parliament. Beyond teaching you to initiate your commons projects and practice, you'll learn how to raise funds, and make your common sustainable in the long term. On completion of the course, students will have an operational practice/organisation. There will be an array of optional modules, ranging from comparative public policy to social theories and citizenship, micro-economies and digital media. This is complemented with art and design teaching, visual communication and performance to architecture and photography. There is the opportunity to tailor your learning and construct your own unique curriculum.
