Digital Commons Cooperative

We envision a world where the (digital) power balance has shifted. Where the people making change from the ground up can use cutting edge data sharing and mapping tools to create more sustainable, equitable societies where people and nature can thrive. Where local communities and change-making organisations have the same ability to access and use data as Facebook, and Amazon - but for the common good. And where social justice organisations, cooperatives, and community groups can use data to defend the planet and create the regenerative economy we need for a better future. The Digital Commons Cooperative is here to solve your digital mapping and data sharing problems. Whether you want to… > build a map of projects in your local community, > understand the farmland around a river catchment, > see who owns that abandoned building, > make it really easy for anyone to find out what your organisation’s members are up to, > or run a workshop exploring community assets across a local authority, …We’ve got tools that can help. > Land Explorer (landexplorer.coop) is a mapping tool to help people and organisations access information on land. With Land Explorer you can find suitable sites for community-based development projects - and gather the insights and evidence you need to make sure your project is a success. > Twine (twine-together.com) is a free mobile app that helps community businesses manage their volunteers. It provides a hassle-free way to keep tabs on your activities and projects, giving you a clear overview of how much time and effort goes into them. Mykomaps maps the solidarity and cooperative economy to increase visibility and opportunities for collaboration and collective changemaking. Mykomaps provides the tech for two key platforms: Communities Connect, and Cooperatives Connect.
