organised by Findhorn College
The way that money works today is one of the great invisible (to most) drivers of our rapacious earth – and community-devouring economy. So much so that Richard Douthwaite has said:
“If people living in an area cannot trade among themselves without using money issued by outsiders, their local economy will always be at the mercy of events elsewhere. The first step is for any community aiming to become more self-reliant is therefore to establish its own currency system”.
It is with this very much in mind that Findhorn College has created a 5-day course in community currency design called On The Money that runs from August 14 – 18 2010 in the Findhorn ecovillage – please visit the events’ website for more details and to download a flyer. The week will be held by currency designers, John Rogers and Jonathan Dawson, and includes teleconference presentations and discussions involving Richard Douthwaite, Margrit Kennedy and Bernard Lietaer.
