Community Guidelines

The Communities for Future Collaborate platform invites the recording, sharing, and co-creation of knowledge on community-led action by and on behalf of users from many different walks of life. We have created this platform, which includes both private and public spaces, using open source technology to support curation of a knowledge commons in a spirit of cooperation, sharing and solidarity.

In order to meet the goals of this community, it is important for members to feel sure that they are in a safe place, in the company of people with shared interests. These Community Guidelines exist to help you understand both how to act within the community and what to expect from others in this space. We request that you read and adhere to the guidelines that follow.
