A network for aligned exchange communities
Community Exchange Network brings together organisations, platforms, and communities working with community exchange, mutual credit, time banking, and local resilience. It is a shared space for joining efforts, sharing learning, and building stronger connections across the movement.
Our Vision
We envision a world where communities are less dependent on extractive money systems and more able to meet needs through cooperation, reciprocity, and local resilience. CEN exists to help grow a living ecosystem of exchange systems that strengthen human relationships, reduce isolation, and open practical pathways toward greater economic freedom.
Our Mission
Our mission is to connect and support exchange-based organisations so they can learn from one another, collaborate more effectively, and develop shared tools, protocols, and infrastructure that help communities thrive. We are here to strengthen the movement from within: by supporting existing initiatives, helping new communities emerge, and creating the conditions for deeper cooperation across platforms and regions.
