Intro

The Commons Hub Brussels actively and continuously looks for ways to move from transactions to conscious relationships within the community: how do we nurture our relationships and the community in this space? How do we develop a culture of mutual care? Good relationships come with clear agreements for all community members.

Community agrees to uphold the principles of the commons, which include:

• Shared responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the event space.
• Transparent communication.
• Open sharing of knowledge.
• Collaborative decision-making processes that involve input from both the Commons Hub and the Community.
