The Travelling Assembly

[Please note this latest version was made public on 25 May 2025, after the final meeting (External link) of the 2024/25 pilot Assembly]

Tensions? (Florence spirit)

Members disagreed on whether communities have a vocation to provide public services, and on how autonomous these communities or cooperatives should be. Should local, national or European authorities take part in their deliberation, or not at all? Or should they do so only when invited? How much should governments help? Who ensures that their decision-making is fair? Should assembly principles and rules be drawn in advance by our network? What is the purpose of connecting them across borders and when does it matter?
