Rooted In Commons is a citizen-led initiative at the intersection of grounded experience and collective transformation. It draws inspiration from roots—our sense of belonging, lived realities, and emotional grounding—and from commons—the shared spaces, resources, knowledge, and public spheres we co-create.

Rooted in Commons exists to support citizens in shaping public policies and social services. Through civic gatherings, policy labs, and learning spaces, it cultivates civic imagination—the belief that we can shape more just systems—and collective imagination—our shared ability to dream and build better futures.

Founded by community organiser and systems thinker Asma Mansour, Co-founder and former Director of the Tunisian Center for Social Entrepreneurship, the initiative welcomes activists, researchers, public servants, social entrepreneurs, and anyone eager to co-create change. Researchers are invited to document and co-learn. Civil society groups provide lived insights. Public institutions are engaged as allies to co-design more inclusive systems.

Rooted in Commons embraces linguistic and social inclusion. English is used to broaden access, especially for those excluded from Swedish-speaking spaces, and other minority languages are welcomed when possible.

This isn’t a formal organisation—it’s a growing civic ecosystem. A place where deep listening, critical thinking, and collective care meet grounded action.

🌱 A commons where change grows from the root.

✊ Rooted in Commons is a growing community dedicated to justice, care, and slow resistance. We believe meaningful change starts from the ground up — through connection, reflection, and collective action.

Our gatherings bring together activists, thinkers, and everyday changemakers to share ideas, stories, and support in a space rooted in mutual respect and radical care.

Whether through slow walks, thoughtful conversations, or visits to places rich in history and meaning, we nurture a commons where new ideas can grow and old wounds can be composted.

Based in Skåne, Sweden, but open to anyone who wants to join, Rooted in Commons is about building solidarity, deepening understanding, and moving together toward a more just and caring future.

This is not a formal organization or a political party — it’s a grassroots, self-organized effort to root ourselves in shared values and grow change organically.
