Saturday September 21

10am-12pm Welcome and Overview

We'll do an overview of the HUMANs cooperative network, and of the summit itself. Then we'll dive into the heart of the matter, getting to know each other including (but not limited to) our mutual aid-related projects. This will help us identify synergies and potential avenues of collaboration, which we'll explore more in-depth through the summit and beyond.

12-1pm The Potential of Money Games for Communities

Markus Petz will share his research on the effectiveness of games for learning within communities, focused on money-related games.

1-2:30pm Online Karaoke with Marilyn Lamer!

Marilyn joins from Hawaii to lead us in the fun way to sing together across great distances.

Sunday September 22

9-10:30am Offers and Needs Market

Deborah A will lead us in this facilitated exercise to help us identify the breadth and depth of the offerings of everyone in the space, and go on the make mutually beneficial matches. This is a great tool for mutual aid networks, timebanks, and everyone else! Come see how it's done while you also find great matches for yourself.

10:30-11am Wrap-up and Next Steps

We'll keep this session short and sweet, on the heels of the Offers and Needs Market. This is where we identify synergies from the entire summit, plan next steps, take the matches we've identified into the real world and act on them.
