BECOME A CO-CREATOR & JOIN THIS INCUBATOR - STARTS APRIL 3RD 2023, THEN EVERY FIRST MONDAY

SINCE 2017 we have been observing and reporting on community agency networks (CANs) as evidence of people finding meaningful ways to come together in response to the multiple crises.

More recently we have begun to join up the CANs using technology and shared projects - including funding proposals - for prototyping. At the same time we are seeing more and more networks of CANs appear around the world. This new space will hold a conversation including topics such as:

  • Are CANs key to meeting the multiple crises - why?

  • In what way are CANs the best way to address division?

  • Can CANs lead us to an Ecocivilisation?

  • What is the relationship between ecocivilisation and the incredible potential of technology? Where does AI and robotics fit into all of this?

  • Are CANs the resource for a better democracy?

  • Should we develop a parallel polis through the CANs?

  • how do individuals and all living things thrive in and through CANs?
