Sharing in the Community

Sharing material and non-material resources in our community

„If we wait for governments, it will be too late. If we act as individuals, it‘ll be too little. But if we act as communities, it might just be enough. And it might just be in time.“ Rob Hopkins

The concept of the Sharing City means striving towards making the entire city our home - not only the four walls we live in but our streets, our neighbourhoods and our public places. The city can nourish us, inspire us, give us comfort, and provide for us, but it also needs our care and agency in return. This shared urban infrastructure, which can be enjoyed by everyone, but is also dependent on everybody’s conscientiousness, can reflect how we want to live in cities and what we want our guiding principle of social interaction to be: solidarity instead of competition.

This module is divided into the following chapters:

• Sharing things and skills in the school
