Self-management is one of the fundamental values to those organising around participatory society. The nested council structure proposed in par-polity and in par-economics is a model that facilitates self-management, so those affected by decisions can influence them. It also encourages participation as those at the root level participate in discussions, vote and propose policy.How can we best structure ourselves now according to self-management given the number of participants we have and their level of commitment?



If you would like someone from PPS-UK to give a talk or presentation on participatory vision contact us with subject: '
"As an ardent supporter of participatory economics and participatory society I am inspired and elated by the pps-uk project - its intentions, methods, and progress. Ideas are one thing. Actual organizing is another thing. And creating organization, sustaining it, and employing it, all consistently with exemplary guiding values and planting the seeds of the future in the present, is much much more. Congratulations on the efforts to date, and as both an exemplary international model and an effective organization in the UK, very best success for the coming months and years."
"Creating a better world requires direct challenges to the powerful and selfish interests that are driving us towards oblivion. But we also need to build and strengthen radical social networks and grassroot institutions that embody wisdom, compassion and justice. PPS-UK can play a valuable role here and we wish it every success.."
"PPS-UK is addressing topics of enormous importance, in a way that challenges all British social movements and left/alternative institutions. I'm very happy to support PPS-UK in its activities, and to be encouraged to deal with the challenges that it raises." -
