The Four Core Values
|
co-production
(Edgar Kahn, founder of Time Bank)
1. We treat people as assets –
We support the positive actions people can
and want to do for their community.
2. We are re-defining work –
regardless of the task, everyone’s time is valued equally
we value whatever it takes to make neighbourhoods safe and vibrant.
3.We reciprocate –
we require that everyone gives something back
ensuring all in our society have the opportunity
to be involved in their community.
4. We support the development of social networks –
these require ongoing investments of social capital
generated by trust, reciprocity and civic engagement.
