Question 1

What exactly is cOMmon?

Accepted Answer

cOMmon is the online habitat for regenerative people, spaces, and practices.
It’s a shared digital environment where relationships can form and deepen.

Some people arrive at cOMmon to explore. Others arrive to root something that already exists. Both are welcome.

As a roamer, you can:
 • Explore people, places, and practices connected to regeneration.
 • Follow projects or spaces and if it speaks to you; connect and apply for jobs
 • Share your own personal projects, events and products
 • Keep a personal overview of what you’re involved in or curious about.
 • Stay connected while moving between different initiatives or locations.

As a rootser, you can:
 • Create an online space for a place, project, or practice you’re caring for.
 • Find skilled people to help with your projects.
 • Highlight your space events, accommodations and products.
 • Keep relationships, activities, and contributions organized.
 • Invite others to connect or participate in ways that fit your rhythm.

cOMmon doesn’t replace real relationships or on-the-ground work.
It supports them, by giving structure where things often become scattered.
You can start small, stay simple, and let your use of cOMmon grow over time.

Question 2

What makes cOMmon different from other travel and work platforms?

Accepted Answer

cOMmon is not just about travel, volunteering, or work exchanges.
It’s a cooperative and regenerative cOMmunity that connects both people who are roaming and people who are rooted, and everything that exists in between.
Where many platforms focus on short stays or transactions, cOMmon is built around long-term relationships. With land. With people. With ways of living and working that aim to be regenerative rather than extractive.

- A cooperative and regenerative approach
cOMmon is inspired by regenerative living, permaculture, and agro-ecology. We’re building this space together, with the intention of growing into a cooperative.

- Beyond work and travel
Roamers don’t just find projects. They can discover places to stay, inspiring environments, farm products, handmade goods, and creative offerings along the way. You can share your skills, land, projects, creations etc. in many forms, not only by hosting or offering work exchanges.

- Fair and flexible exchange
Exchange in cOMmon isn’t fixed to one model. It can look like hands-on help, creative or digital contributions, knowledge sharing, or earning a fair compensation that supports your journey.

- A real sense of com
Both roamers and rootsers can present their own products, crafts, harvests, or creative work, and exchange them along the way. cOMmon makes space for what people actually create, not just what they offer as a service.isibility, context, and trust.

- Room for creativity
Both roamers and rooters can present their own products, crafts, harvests, or creative work, and exchange them along the way. cOMmon makes space for what people actually create, not just what they offer as a service.

- Shared conversations and round tables
Through round tables and shared discussions, cOMmon creates space for collective reflection, learning, and dialogue around regenerative practices, cooperation, and care. These moments help shape the cOMmunity and the direction it grows into.

- Simple tools that support real life
With tools like an agenda and management tools, it’s easier to stay organized, coordinate plans, and stay connected, without turning relationships into transactions.

cOMmon is for anyone who wants to contribute to a regenerative future, whether you are roaming, rooted, or moving between the two. It’s a place to feel supported by cOMmunity while nurturing the earth, yourself, and each other.

Question 3

Is cOMmon already a cooperative?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. cOMmon is being built with a cooperative structure in mind, but we’re not formally a cooperative at this stage. We’re taking the time to grow the cOMmunity, learn together, and shape the foundations.

Right now, cOMmon is free to use.
In the future, memberships will be introduced. When that happens, the first income will be used to support the creation of the cooperative legal structure and the shared foundations needed to hold cOMmon in a collective way.

What’s fixed is the direction.
The exact form and timing will grow with the cOMmunity and be shared openly as it unfolds. You can follow our past steps and current thinking on the Roadmap page.

Question 4

Where did the idea come from?

Accepted Answer

From a personal question: “What kind of world am I leaving my daughter?” It has slowly grown since 2005, and truly began with the launch of the MVP on July 10, 2025. Read more about our story on the page Roadmap.

Question 5

Is cOMmon also a farm/project management tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beyond connecting people, cOMmon includes a calendar, a project and team manager, and a transparent Contribution Log & Balance for your space or project. Soon there will also be an accountancy module.
