Traveling Village Toolbox

Welcome to the "Toolbox" — a collection of key principles, philosophies, and strategies that shape the Traveling Village community. Each tool represents a piece of our open-source approach to community building. Click on any tool to dive deeper into how we've implemented these ideas, and feel free to adapt them to create your own community.

Tools can be used differently (or not at all) in different villages, so consider this inspiration and not the exact way a village will work. You can read more about a specific village on it's own page.
