On Friday, November 5, 2010 New Commons attended the Social Enterprise of RI conference 2010.  Robert led a conversation about the Next Economy and started with a few provocations--okay about 20 minutes of provocations--but folks went with it. Then we split up into three intimate cafe conversations to take the provocations further. 

The groups convened to discuss, challenge and augment the following topics:

• New Forms of Housing
• Regional Food Systems
• Regional Communications to further Education

We'll post the notes later, but do tell us more about how the next economy (what is coming) is evolving in your communtiy now! It is okay to chat about the resistance, idealists, and what remains constant and what must change!  Remember, every system (community, economic, social,etc.) must declare what sacred value remains unchanged. 

Perhaps that value is in...(you fill in the sacred value).
