    Festival Of Commoning – Open Call-Out!!

    In the spirit of commoning and co-creation, we are inviting you! – your project or organisation – to propose a session/workshop to animate the day. The focus does not necessarily need to fit within the boundaries of the pillar themes and we are leaving plenty of space in the program for sessions to explore other themes that are important to you or your wider community.

    If you are interested we have created an open call-out. Please use this form to apply!

    End date: 11:59pm on Saturday March 22nd, 2025
