History: The Grenoble Assembly of the Commons was born in 2017 out of a meeting between members of the Nuit Debout Grenoble Commons Commission, an elected member of Grenoble City Council and several people interested in supporting the emergence of an Assembly of the Commons in the Grenoble region. Since the third assembly organised in 2019, the Assembly of the Commons has been facilitated by the association Next Planning.

Our raison d’être : The Grenoble Assembly of the Commons defines itself as a neutral space for cooperation in the production, development and preservation of the commons by and for citizens. It works to promote and reappropriate the commons so that people can enjoy them, as part of a sustainable and desirable care social model, with a view to preserving all living species and their environments.

Scale of intervention: The Grenoble Assembly of the Commons is involved in numerous initiatives at local, regional and trans-local levels. Members of the assembly have taken part in the European commons Assembly, the commonscamps and the Marseille Assembly of the Commons. In November 2022, we helped organise the assembly of the commons and the possible at Col de Porte.

Agenda 2023 In 2023, we are contributing to the commons assembly process in Lyon, the project to map the land commons, the Isère parliament project and the organisation of the 7th Grenoble Commons Assembly during the Biennial of Cities in Transition which will take place from 8 to 11 June 2023.
