Dear all
Just very quickly to say the UK Commons Assembly at
Tate hosted by myself and Tim was really positive and commoners
wanted another session in Autumn this year to action some of the
points. 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

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.
