Leander

Bindewald, MSc MA

Uniting an academic background in neurobiology, philosophy and economics with life and work experience on 4 continents, I had moved to Brussels in 2010 working as an independent consultant on collaborative processes and complementary currencies. Find my resumé here.

Focusing solely on complementary currencies since early 2010 I co-developed the GEF Forum on Green Entrepreneurship, including two virtual currencies on a WordPress platform and presented and collaborated on the topic in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Switzerland and the Americas to private, public and third sector entities. At and for Hub Brussels I´m currently implementing a community currency system pilot using the Drupal software package of CommunityForge. Back in Germany, I co-organize the fairventure-2012 conference in Leipzig and develop resources and training material on currency design and dissemination with the Coinstatt-Akademie collective.

In February 2011 I visited STRO in Uruguay for a close-up of their C3 currency.In the second half I worked with DCTB, a TimeBank in Madison, WI and helped launch timeForTheWorld. In between, I took complementary currency into the performing arts in Brussels with a Postcard-from-the-Future.
