An invitation to participate in a life changing opportunity.  What does it take to build Salford as the eco-city of the future? Join us and help design a future where an open economy is based on gift, sharing, and fair exchange.  Hear the challenges and opportunities from experts, discuss with friends and colleagues, then try your hand at designing the future.  Based on events in 2013 held in Vancouver, Canada, Living the New Economy is a collaboration to encourage thriving, sharing and re-envisioning in order to create a more resilient and prosperous region. It combines commmunity currencies, dynamic governance and permaculture design with an aim to re-localise and re-energise the local economy.  Check out the programme by following the link to the website. There are three sessions on each of the two days. You can choose to attend either one session, or the whole weekend, by purchasing the appropriate ticket. You can even choose to pay by gift! PLUS! To gain admission you must have a valid ticket. However we will exchange the net £’s you paid for a ticket for local currency. You can then choose to spend this currency during the event, including exchanging back for cash at the end!! –

Why, I can’t think of a better way to spend the first weekend in June, (or even the second weekend, which this is). Paying? Not paying? It’s all the same in the New Economy. Who needs money –
