I'm including that email below on the Training on "Building the Commons Top Down and
Bottoms Up", in case it would be of any interest to any? Again, another group that through my work with the <b><font class="yiv1574693614Apple-style-span" color="#00007f"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tef.globalchallengesforum.org/">Transformative Education

For me, the problem is always in how to create the greater ability to make all these needed connections to truly "build" a "Commons" movement, more human and interpersonal?
