Our welfare states are in need of an update: too many people slip through the net. This reality is experienced by almost 25% of the European population. In the Netherlands up to 50% are flex-workers such as those who work on temporary contracts or are self-employed. This people who are de facto employees are being reclassified as self-employed and as such remain outside some of the social benefits schemes.
Commonfare.net wants to support the emergence of an alternative. People in Croatia, Italy and the Netherlands and the project partners are designing and building an online collective awareness platform with the goal to make existing state welfare provisions more accessible, to share good practices and to promote networking and collaboration among people across different locations and countries in Europe.
In [Commonfare.net](http://commonfare.net), interactions, stories, shared experiences, resources, and mutual support form the heart of our approach to welfare. Commonfare is for, with, and by those who need it most, but also for anybody who is just curious and wants to help.
