Values1 - Happiness is defined by freedom and choices2 - While money is abstract, personal human interaction is real. Through interaction one is constantly learning intellectually, socially and emotionally4 - Caring about the home, neighborhood and planet connects others and oneselve5 - Local interaction improves both the community and the individual quality of life: a reinforced local community serves both tangible and intangible needs6 - A sustainable lifestyle can only be achieved by respecting the value of what is around us7 - By shifting from “I” to “we”, from “me” to “us” and from “my” to “our”, both environmental and social sustainability are promoted8 - We believe that there are more choices with sharing, as possessions are limiting

Local Fair is a process in which individuals can develop. By providing a framework in which guidelines can be set the individual can be creator in a local neighbourhood. It is an interactive lifecycle of realizig, caring and sharing. Realizing is understanding the environment by learning informally or through eductaion models. Caring is taking responsibiliy for the community and being active in the community. Sharing enables to have more in a local neighbourhood. More variety and flexibility can be installed in a communal space - more than an indiviual can own. It is the oppertunity of freedom, choices and involvement. Local Fair is a tool for a new sustainable thinking in an social environment.

A Community Space is the heart of a Local Fair it is enriching the possibilities of the indiviual by providing service systems for daily routine and special wishes. It is a self led community in which every individual can decide wheather to take part or use the private space. By establishing a big, working communal area the individual will always be moving towards the communal space in order to use the services that are provided and to which one has no access to in the private space. The community is a highly technical developed and professionalized service system for the modern lifestyle.
