Sharehood Communities

The Sharehood is all about sharing skills and resources within your neighbourhood and making friends with people in your local area. All sorts of things can be shared…sewing machines, vegetables, wheelbarrows, tools, cars, books, washing machines and computers. Skills can be shared too - gardening, accounting, bike repairs, tutoring, childminding and even lessons on how to make wine or dance the tango! This workshop will explain the process of starting a Sharehood community in your area (letterboxing, the first meeting, coordinating social events) and the wonderful relationships that are formed along the way. Privacy issues, local currency and participants without internet access will also be discussed together with any additional questions attendees may have. Come along to learn more about how the Sharehood can help you create a sharing community in your neighbourhood!
