The Common Wallet is an initiative of 11 Brussels-based people who, since January 2018, live out of a common bank account. They wire all their individual income into the shared account, and each uses the money according to their needs, wishes and desires, no matter if it corresponds with the income they contributed or not. In the workshop participants will be invited to look into their personal relationship with money and share it with others.

It aims to allow each participant to go through the practical functioning of the Common Wallet as well as create situations for themselves to question what it practically, psychologically, ethically, socially or professionally could mean to engage with such a practice of financial commoning in the everyday life.

What is needed to create trust and unlearn distrust? How can a feeling of financial security be created in situations that are constantly in movement ?

Please note: registered participants will be asked to complete an online questionnaire prior to the day of the workshop. This document is meant to collect details about their real financial situation (or fictionalise it) in order to be able to fully function in a simulated Common Wallet.
