This session will be followed by Money Lab: MAKE!, an invitation-only afternoon session that will be spent talking about and tinkering with those money alternatives in a hands-on fashion. In its final part, this session seeks to conceptually and practically develop the Bijlmer Euro project. The project aims to research and inspire multi-ethnic trust communities in the super-diverse Amsterdam Bijlmer area, by introducing a new and complementary monetary system.
