CC Stories project

printable page

CC Stories is a project to gather real stories about Community Currencies from those who know - the participants. The purpose is to tell the world how CCs bring benefits to individuals and communities, and how we can better organise and publicise them.

Please tell your story - the highs and the lows, the benefits and the heartaches - by answering the questions below. The questions should take no more than 20 minutes.

If you change your mind and want any part of your contribution to be removed from record, you may tell us at any time and we will remove it.

Please tick the box below to let us know whether or not you want your name to be included with any part of your story. If you are happy for your name to be used, please supply us with your photograph so everyone can put a face to your name.

Stories may be turned into audio, video, an archive of quotations, or material for further study. All the information you provide will be securely protected. Access to your story will only be given to trusted people. Parts that you request to remain anonymous will be filed separately. End products (video, audio, etc) will be distributed widely to further the cause of the CC movement.

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch via the contact form on the left.

Thank you.
