Facilitators Role

Each central hub and its adjacent hubs are supported by facilitators who assist with trading activities and the formation of venture groups. These facilitators are volunteers, either affiliated with a social service organisation or selected by the hub communities themselves and formally registered to a specific hub. Their appointments typically last one year and are subject to review.

Facilitators may receive incentives, including voluntary donations from hub participants. Their responsibilities include identifying individuals with skills that are lacking within the trading exchange, moderating the website and social media forums for their respective districts, and helping to resolve any issues related to transactions.

They may also organise local markets and community meetings to promote participation and support ongoing development. Each hub operates as a democratic collective, fostering collaboration and encouraging the growth of local cooperatives—an essential step toward building a more participatory and economically democratic system that responds to resilience and adaptation issues.

• Time-Based Work Sharing: Facilitators help organize and track hours worked within the system.

• Autonomy & Teamwork: Facilitators work in teams, testing the system within their districts and following forums.

• Incentives: Facilitators are offered incentives that could lead to income opportunities apart from receiving time-credits.

• District-Specific Facilitators: Each district may have facilitators, some of whom may be nominated by local organizations like charities or volunteer groups.

• Voluntary Role: Facilitators are volunteers committed to social service, but are recognized for their efforts through incentives, such as voluntary donations and setting up trading markets and stalls.

Important Points:

• Facilitators are not employees of WorkTrader.

• Facilitators use a local WorkTrader database system for managing local trading records, supported by WorkTrader’s backup systems.

• Collaboration with Local Groups: Facilitators may work with community groups, (optional) such as eco-villages or cooperative ventures and social service organisations.

• Focus on Sustainability: Special emphasis is placed on food garden projects within communities, however this can extend to local products

  and industry development like entrepreneurs.

  
  

WorkTrader serves as a catalyst for local cooperatives, helping foster community resilience and sustainability.
