We organised a \u201cworld caf\u00e9<\/a>\u201d on co-production and co-operativism, in other words new alternative economic models that people can develop in their communities. The discussion at this \u201cworld caf\u00e9\u201d explored how given governments were unwilling to create better conditions for people\u2019s working conditions, local communities need to develop their sources of power and production of resources. owever, the alternative people-powered economic models are all very different and they have been around for many years. They are now in the spotlight because of the economic crisis, but the last time they were en vogue in the 60s they were defeated. As it\u2019s likely, there may be another financial crisis; these models will become even more of a necessity. So how do we embed these models before they get defeated again and before we have another crisis that we haven\u2019t prepared for? The resounding conclusion was that these alternative economic models need to be social movements to be successful. So moving onto what we could together as local groups across Europe? How can we create the economy we want in a very practical way \u2013 whether it\u2019s on the food we buy, the spaces we live in or the public services we use \u2013 to develop our own sources of power?<\/strong><\/p>\n
