It is our pleasure to invite you to the international seminar COMMUNITY-BASED LAND TENURE AND GOVERNANCE IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH that takes place in Leuven on the 9^th of November 2015.

This seminar is part of a series of two. Part two of this seminar, PLOUGHING UP THE LANDED COMMONS, will take place on the 20th of January 2016. Both programmes are attached.

Community-based land tenure governance is a central cog in the wheel of community development. Access to land, land tenure and security of tenure rights are essential to a decent life for people all over the world. In countries of the Global South, more than in those of the North, these rights are often under threat. Community-based land tenure governance have played an important role in increasing this security.

This seminar is conceived as a ‘structured intellectual exchange’ with a larger group of experts with first-hand experience of working on the landed commons in the Global South, with the explicit aim of learning from these experts to build new landed commons in the North.  Fostering dialogue and spur critical intellectual exchange on  innovative perspectives of the landed commons is the main ambition of this workshop.
