Canberra, Australia

Did you know that Canberra is Australia’s original sharing city? ShareCanberra aims to return to that pioneering spirit of social change by progressively mapping sharing activities and networks in Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory, including community gardens, tool & seed libraries, car-sharing programs, collaborative consumption startups, co-working communities, cooperatives and mutuals.

ShareCanberra runs events and works with communities, government and business to capture local sharing activities and advocate for Canberra to once again become a Sharing City.

ShareCanberra curates an open, editable asset map for the Canberra community to: share resources, network and influence public policy to strengthen a genuine sharing economy through collaboration; enable the ACT community to find out what sharing activities are nearby; encourage participation and replication of sharing activities; and build networks.

ShareCanberra was initiated by ChangeMakers CBR in October 2014 during the Sharing Cities Network 2nd Annual Global MapJam to build community and bring people together in cities around the world: https://storify.com/cofluence/changemakers-cbr-mapjam For more information, please click on the following URL: http://changemakersfestival.org/event/share-canberra-mapjam/
