Community Solutions

 

Solutions to many of societies problems arise when regular people participate at the local level, leading to more voices being heard and more actions taken. Small collective actions can have lasting impact.

Some solutions for shared benefit

NVC – Communicate with compassion

Improving our communication skills will enhance our ability to collaborate and help us create authentic connections as well as manage upsets. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a valuable tool that builds compassion and connection in both interpersonal interactions as well as towards ourselves.

Community

When we connect with community groups, we align with others who share our interests and values. This fosters a sense of belonging and creates a supportive network. By building community in this way, we not only gain mutual support but also strengthen our collective ability to make positive changes.

Keep time, resources, energy and money local

From Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS) and Timebanks to complementary currencies and savings pools, these systems collectively aim to empower individuals, promote economic justice, and enhance community resilience by leveraging the community’s strengths and resources.
