Commons Fest in Athens

JD Josh Davis Public Seen by 114

Commoners in Greece are organizing a Commons Fest this coming May. While thats a little early for our schedule, it's always encouraging to see similar efforts going on in other places. It looks like this effort is focused mainly on knowledge commons.

On a related note, the Vice President of Greece recently mentioned the importance of "common goods" in a speech. This is our time!

Very interesting! Looks like they're not currently set up to accept proposals in English.

I hope everyone has seen GRITtv's pieces on Syriza's victory and how it is more than a "charismatic leader"
