Each month we meet to discuss a topic related to the commons: things we humans all share more or less in common. Simple examples include the weather, the oceans, the air. This month we will meet at 5:00PM on Monday evening, March 9th. It will be a remote meeting using Zoom Meeting. You must register to join the meeting, and you can register by clicking the link below:

The topic will be Children’s Rights. Co-host, Susanne van der Meer was inspired to make this a topic after visiting this website announcing the 35th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child.
