This document synthesizes results from the workshop Thinking Outside the Market, facilitated by VCDC on June 15 2022. Through two imaginative activities, a group of 20 people from different backgrounds and practices discussed the types of work they do that bring them purpose but no money, and the resources they need to better make them happen. The document is formulated as a guide for the development of Value Collective’s Residency program, but can serve publicly as a reference document to feed emerging discourse on alter-economies and the study of non-financial value.
