Dear commoners,

The ECA will soon be having a big weekend, June 9-11! We will be present at
two separate events in Barcelona and Athens. We encourage those of you who
are close to attend if possible (unfortunately we do not have enough funds
to support travel). If you cannot make it, look for follow-up articles on
the experiences there. Contact for both up until the event is through this ECA
Weekend thread <https://www.loomio.org/d/yE60lQhK> on loomio.

**Friday June 9 - ECA side event at Fearless Cities Barcelona (organized by
BCN en Comú, June 9-11)*

Fearless Cities <http://fearlesscities.com/>, an international municipalist
summit which takes place in Barcelona from June 9-11, is sharing local
experiences in different cities of the municipalist movement.  One of their
focuses is on commons. As part of their program, there will be an event for
the ECA on Friday June 9. The tentative format is an open assembly to
discuss municipalism and the commons followed by a work session to share
experiences and develop the ECA proposal on urban commons
<http://wiki.commonstransition.org/wiki/ECA:_The_Urban_Commons>. The exact
time and location will be announced shortly. We expect this to be a point
of departure for the next ECA in Madrid in late October this year.

Additionally, the organizers of Fearless Cities are still looking for
testimonies from women on local experiences of urban commoning and
municipalism to add to their program. If you are interested in presenting
please get in touch with the organizers: fearlesscities at bcnencomu.cat

**June 9-11, Assembly and Policy Workshop at the 4th Social Solidarity
Economy Congress in Athens *

The 4th Social and Solidarity Congress <https://universse2017.org/>, where
RIPESS is also holding their 6th General Assembly, features the commons as
a thematic axis and includes many commons sessions. The ECA will host two
activities there. The exact times (along with more info on content) are
still TBA.

(1) Open Assembly: “What Economy for the Commons?” - Exploring convergence
between SSE and commons

We will hold an 2-hour session of short panel and then open discussion to
explore our mutual understanding of how the commons and social and
solidarity economy relate to each other. It is also an opportunity to
discover the ECA, make new introductions, and connect with local commoners.

(2) Workshop: European policy for SSE and Commons

After the assembly, we focus on developing policy for the commons and SSE.
We are particularly interested in sharing examples and tactics for commons
policy. This is a way to prepare concrete proposals for the November Forum
for the Social and Solidarity Economy in Brussels at the EP, and to
continue to develop the ECA proposal on
<http://wiki.commonstransition.org/wiki/ECA:_Social_and_Solidarity_Economy_and_Participation>Social
and Solidarity Economy and Participation
<http://wiki.commonstransition.org/wiki/ECA:_Social_and_Solidarity_Economy_and_Participation>
.

*If you plan to attend *either of these two sessions, please help us
out by SIGNING
UP HERE.

This
will ensure you get updates as they arise. There’s no need to also register
for the Congress.

Best,
Nicole
