Let’s Co-Create a Green Marketplace Where People Meet, Shop, and Create a Future

The Green Marketplace (GMP) consists of a digital marketplace and local mobile marketplaces with a focus on green products, services, culture, and lifestyles that strengthen local communities and contribute to regenerative and bioregional development. Our mission is to build a community of communities across associations, communities, companies, and foundations that want to take ownership and participate in the co-creation the green marketplace. GMP is a whole system design made on the e-learning program in Design for Sustainability and Regeneration. Now we focus on building the community of communities.

                                    When we zoom in and focus on the environmental communities, we sense there is a need and a potential in establishing a marketplace where producers and customers can interact in ways that promote local and regional regenerative development. That’s why we want to establish a community of communities where you and me, across associations, communities, companies and foundations, co-create an ecosystem of citizens, local communities, companies, educational institutions, etc., which use trade, culture, and social exchange to promote a local regenerative development.

The next crucial phase is to find out if The Green Market Place is the right and dynamic project for a community of green communities. In this workshop, we invite you to join as a future-thinking cell. In this cell, we will explore how we can connect with other cells, with the aim of creating a regenerative and thriving future. Together we must form imaginary bodies and systems. These imaginary bodies will become building blocks that shape the regenerative and bioregional ecosystems where a community of communities as well as local commerce and culture are the driving factors. We hope you and your community feel like joining in!

The workshop will feature 1) Comments on the project. 2) Experience with similar projects. 3) Experiences with 'communities of communities' and co-creation with many actors.
