Welcome to the eighth CEA Presents Taking Back Our Economy podcast series hosted by Martin Simon Today, our fellow founders of the Community Exchange Alliance: Anitha Beberg, Christine Gray, Edgar Cahn, and Tim Jenkin are joined by a special guest, Cormac Russell, from from Nurture Development in Dublin, Ireland. Our topic today is "Rekindling Democracy through Active Citizenship and Community Building."
In this episode, we will go over how building the core economy/the unpaid care economy of home, family, neighborhood and community helps strengthen democracy. Cormac Russell is a social explorer, an author and a much sought after speaker. He is Managing Director of Nurture Development and a faculty member of the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute. Over the last 25 years he has inspired and trained communities, statutory agencies, NGOs and governments in community-led development in Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe and North America. His most recent book is entitled: Rekindling Democracy – A Professional’s Guide to Working in Citizen Space

The aim of Community Exchange Alliance is to form a learning community where people come to share their experience, information, and how-to advice about exchange systems such as sharing, swapping, gifting, bartering and local community currencies and also about networks of exchange systems. The Alliance was formed by Anitha Beberg, Edgar Cahn, Christine Gray, Tim Jenkin and Martin Simon, a group of individuals who have dedicated, between them, over one hundred person-years to helping grow different types of local means of exchange that can help to build strong, resilient communities where people feel valued for their contributions and are supported in their needs. We believe that bringing leaders and members of exchange systems together to share what they have done, what they have learned, the tools that they have developed and how it has changed their community, will bring insights to those with long experience in exchange systems, as well as, helpful information for newcomers to this growing movement.
