Commonfare.net is pleased to announce our first Call for Common Stories! Share your ideas of what a „good“ society means to you, and if your story is selected, Commonfare will send you to the amazing Santarcangelo Festival in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy from July 12th to 15th, 2018 as a Commonfare.net blogger. Commonfare will cover the expenses of travel, accommodation and provide a daily allowance for you to enjoy the Festival to the fullest. 

Dear Commoners,

Commonfare.net is a platform designed to inform, inspire, and connect people across Europe in imagining and creating a more just society based on citizen solidarity, the common good and social justice. This platform is a work in progress and will become what we, the Commoners, make of it.

In this spirit, we are pleased to announce our first Call for Common Stories! Share your ideas of what a „good“ society means to you, and if your story is selected, Commonfare will send you to the amazing Santarcangelo Festival in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy from July 12th to 15th, 2018 as a Commonfare.net blogger. Commonfare will cover the expenses of travel, accommodation and provide a daily allowance for you to enjoy the Festival to the fullest. As a Commonfare blogger, you get to enjoy the exhibitions, concerts, workshops, markets, and parties, make friends, build connections, and get inspired by the power of art and culture in imagining a more just society. Then to report back to Commonfare.net with your experience at the Festival.

At Santarcangelo Festival, the Commonfare blogger will also have informative conversations with key people from Macao. An example of a best practice of Commonfare, Macao is an independent centre for art, culture and research dedicated to rethinking social change, elaborating independent political critique, and creating innovative governance and production models. Macao is currently based in a former slaughterhouse in the middle of a huge abandoned area in Milano, hosting performing arts, cinema, visual arts, design, photography, literature, new media, and hacking, and is coordinated by an open assembly of artists and activists. Commonfare believes that others from around Europe could learn from the examples of both Macao and the Santarcangelo Festival, and wants to help to create bridges across borders, to share know-how and information, and most importantly to inspire creativity and social solidarity in fighting for our common good.
