# commons.hour - The programme

> Updated: 06sep2021

Here we describe `commons.hour`, the project through which we will design and initiate the practical frame of multistakeholder governance in meet.coop. 

`commons.hour` is a **participatory design** venue under principles of *design justice*, building *tools for conviviality* in the spaces of the coop’s commons: platform spaces, media spaces and venue spaces. When we're through the development phase, `commons.hour` will become the regular live multistakeholder deliberation space of the coop. At the present stage, `commons.hour` is a live prototype.

These pages present the project's intentions and agenda:

* [**Invitation** to \`commons.hour\`](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/commons.hour-invitation) - Why we're doing this, what you may want to get from participating
* [**Basic links**](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/basic-links-for-commons.hour) for the programme
* [**Programme & presenters**](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/programme-and-presenters) - The rationale of the programme of sessions

* [**Prototyping and collaborating**](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/prototyping-and-collaborating) - Evolving a stack of workspaces

* [**Running list** of sessions (workplan)](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/workplan) - a scheduled sequence of twelve-or-so monthly instances of `commons.hour`*,* over a 12-month period, and other events that are the staged outcomes of the project’s work, notably the initial General Assembly.

And these pages describe methodology and design approach:
